Muster of Rohan: Dernhelm

Hush Windfola, and do not mourn. Your master has gone without you, but there are many here who would be glad to groom the blood from your sides and soothe the fears from your eyes. And yet one fear they do not see, and would let you stand watching as all the herd you love goes off to distant battle. You could not stand on a battlement, nor turn an orcish arrow, yet you were made for war. The horns cry and you would follow. I know your fear, and I bring you comfort. You will not be left behind.

Oooh, wow! I liked this rather a lot. Of course Eowyn would be acutely sensitive to this fear (or perhaps she's just projecting?). But it's what makes Eowyn Eowyn, and it's what I have always found so compelling about her.

Beautiful - a fear that she alone sees because she feels it too, and sees it also in Merry. I wouldn't know where to begin writing Eowyn, but you've captured her perfectly!

Oh, this is just so beautiful.
