"Outwit me? Perhaps, and perhaps not - but I am guessing my lady has plenty of tricks I do not yet know!" He teases.

"Perhaps I will be far too distracted by your beauty to teach you anything?"

[withoutswords]

"Without doubt I do, though it will take clever trickery indeed to outwit a Ranger of Ithilien."

She leans up and kisses his cheek. "But surely after several months of marriage you will be used to my face, and in no danger of such distraction."

[theywhowait]

"I could never get used to you." He smiles at her and kisses her hand.

"Every moment, every day, is like a dream come true."

[withoutswords]

She has to stop and kiss him again at that, a reward for such sweet words and the best way she can show that she feels the same. Her arms wrap around his neck as she holds him as close as she may, not caring if anyone should see.

She laughs a little. "I think we may not accomplish much at all, if we remain so lost in each other. Perhaps our king should have given these duties to others."

[theywhowait]

Let them look, Faramir is always happy to have her here in his arms.

"Ah, this is true. Perhaps we will be required to not look at each other all day?"

[withoutswords]

"So when we meet in your sun room, we must be blindfolded?" She laughs and rests her head on his chest. "That will make reading difficult."

[theywhowait]

"Perhaps we shall have to develop a way of reading back to back?"

He grins and kisses her hair.

[withoutswords]

"But then I could not kiss you!" She squeezes his hands. "But come, be serious with me, for a little while. What might we need that we do not have? Or for what should we prepare? Many rooms for guests, I had thought, for I hope we shall have many friends come to visit."

[theywhowait]

"That would indeed be a tragedy!" He smiles back and sobers.

"I would hope so - perhaps we should assign one wing of the house to friends and family? I hope for children, one day too - more than one, if you are amenable to the idea! Perhaps a playroom overlooking a private garden?"

[withoutswords]

They have not discussed children, but going by the smile and slight flush on her face (not embarassed, not Eowyn, surely) the idea is not unappealing. "Perhaps." Her blush deepens, and she shakes her head (not embarassed at all). "I had never planned to have children before, wishing to remain a shieldmaiden instead. But...I should like to have yours. I should like to meet such children."

[theywhowait]

"As would I." Her flush is adorable, and he kisses her cheek.

"I am sure they will be strong and free-spirited, like their mother."

[withoutswords]

"Or else wise and kind, like their father." Her eyes shine as she looks up at him. "I will teach them to ride, and you will teach them to use a bow. And perhaps, if they are lucky and well-behaved, they might join us for breakfast in the sun room some mornings."

[theywhowait]

"Only if they are very, very well-behaved." Faramir agrees, and can't help kissing her again.

"After all, the mornings will be our special time! And it is right that they learn that good behaviour is rewarded."

...my god they're such honeymooners. We're really making up for all that angst!

[withoutswords]

She accepts this kiss as happily as all the others, leaning against him, her flush gradually lessening. "But...I think it is a little premature to build a playroom. Perhaps we might focus on other things first. Guest rooms at least, for my brother has promised to visit as soon as he is able, and your uncle Imrahil with his family."

She has not had much chance yet to become acquainted with Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth, and looks forward to the opportunity. She knows well that it was he who realized she still lived, after the Battle of the Pelennor, when all others thought her dead. She knows also that Eomer holds him in highest esteem, which is no small thing.

And she knows one other thing, which makes her chuckle a little. "I hope they might all come at once. I think my brother was much taken with your cousin Lothiriel."

their guard is probably continuously rolling their eyes XD

[theywhowait]

"Good point." He agrees.

"We could set aside the space for one, I think, to work on later. But I am sure Aragorn and Arwen will want to visit soon, and Legolas is likely to drop in and out, and with him Gimli. Rooms in a circle, perhaps, with a private garden in the center?"

His eyes light with that knowledge.

"With little Lottie? Oh dear, do I need to warn uncle? Or, considering Lothiriel's personality, should I be warning your brother?"

Can't blame them.

[withoutswords]

She likes the idea of rooms in a circle, but this new topic is much more enthralling and her eyes glint with a hint of mischief. "I do not think your cousin is so very little anymore. From what little I saw, my brother had met his match in stubbornness." Which coming from Eowyn says a good deal, though she also sounds as though she approves of the idea. "What is she like otherwise?"

true

[theywhowait]

"Stubborn is a good description"

He laughs. "She's wilful, is Lothiriel, but kind, too. She's a little spoilt, probably, being the baby, but it hasn't made her rude or cruel. But she knows her mind and isn't at all afeared to speak it - sometimes, a little too swiftly!"

[withoutswords]

"That has promise." Eowyn likes what she hears, clearly. "We of Rohan value courage and plain speaking, and my brother is too used to deference being given his rank. If she has any wit to go with her self-possession and beauty I suspect he will be enchanted before he knows it."

[theywhowait]

"I think he will not know what hit him." Faramir predicts with a laugh.

"It would not surprise me if they already met, as she is prone to sneaking out."

[withoutswords]

"Oh ho!" Eowyn's eyes glint. The more she hears of this girl, the better she likes the idea. "Perhaps we should make a point of inviting both our families at once, and see how things fall. They may find it easier to approach each other on neutral ground, as we did."

Clearly, some of the stories of newly-wed couples being ruthlessly determined to matchmake those around them have some truth, in this instance. Eowyn loves her brother above all others save Faramir; she would be pleased to see him as happily wed as she is.

[theywhowait]

"Ah, this is true - and we have a good reason to do so, after all, for who would not wish to show off their new home?"

He grins back at her.

"We could even invite the Hobbits, make a production of it. It would be easy to get them alone in such a crowd. And you cannot tell me the Hobbits would not find the idea charming!"

[withoutswords]

"I fear perhaps too much so! But I should like to see them again, especially my valiant friend Merry. Perhaps Legolas and Gimli as well..." Her smile turns a little sheepish. "But I think it may take so much time to build enough rooms to house everyone that Eomer and Lothiriel will have either wed, eloped, or found other partners before we are ready."

[theywhowait]

"Ah, this is true." He kisses the smile, can't quite help himself.

"I suppose that we don't have to move too fast, either. Might make them suspicious"

I know you don't write smut, but would you write bedtime snuggling?

[withoutswords]

"But I am impatient, as you know, and dislike waiting. Unless there is very good reason."

Such as kissing him once more. But duty is smiting her heart a little, and she sighs, a bit wistful. "We should go and make a beginning. But...I hate for this part to end. I have liked having all your attention to myself, for a time."

I am happy to write all the way up to a fade to black =3

[theywhowait]

"Well, we want them to be happy - is that not a good reason?"

He teases but nods.

"Having said that, there is no reason why we cannot begin the construction now - if they will be close to our family rooms, then so much the better."

He kisses her again.

"As do I. Alas that we were born to rulership, milady! Just think, if I had been but a common soldier, and you a simple Rider, we could have a little cottage of our own, far from such burdens..."
