Steve immediately regrets saying anything when Eomer's head whips around to glare at Gríma. "He hasn't said anything," he assures her in a low voice. They don't need to draw the man's attention any more than they have already. "Just glared. But it's like I said... there are stories where--when--I come from, and he seems like someone who would be bad news. Just a feeling."

He's relieved when she turns back to him, even when his question prompts her to pull his sleeve up and expose his strong forearm. He rolls the other one up for her so he can display them for her.
