I kind of love that Éowyn has no idea that Faramir kept his seat while being chased by multiple Ringwraiths and then turned back to help his men, and probably doesn’t know much of anything else about him either, but almost immediately upon meeting him decides he must be a warrior equal-to-or-better-than any of the Rohirrim.

(I do imagine that someone mentioned this event to her at some point and she’s just … yeah, thought so.)

Tagged: #i do really enjoy that of all the potential ... skills of war that he might have #he's above all else an amazing /horseman/ #given who he marries and her kneejerk 'hmm he seems very gentle but i'm getting kickass vibes' response #in my more schmaltzy moments i like just imagining them riding out together or racing each other or whatnot
