I suppose I should be grateful for the darkness; without it I should have been sent back by now, to sit in Edoras and wait for news that couldn't come when not a man can be spared as messenger. But I have fought Orcs before, which is more than some of the Riders can say. Children they are, who speak in gruff whispers lest their voices betray them and make a show of scraping their chins in what passes for morning.
I cannot help but wonder. Would Theoden King have bid me ride beside him if I had a beard?
