Day 47

Treasure

Faramir bowed. He had been presented to the Queen, of course, and exchanged a few words in court, but never before had they held private discourse.

Arwen plaited her fingers in her lap. Faramir realised she was as nervous as he.

"I would have your advice on how best to bestow certain items in my dowry for the enrichment of Gondor." When Faramir nodded, Arwen gestured to several bundles carefully wrapped in oilskin. "I bring many volumes from my father's library...."

Faramir forced himself to attend to Arwen and not cross the room to open every parcel there and then.

LOL yes - but I'm sure Faramir would just about manage to wait until Arwen opened the first bundle. *g* And I thought it was a nice practical present for Gondor from the Elves/Half-Elves.
