Éomer has never been particularly adept at spotting subtle nuance in much of anything, but the change in Eskel's tone as they shift apart and she starts to prepare for supper does not pass her by.
"What's the matter?" she asks, torn between the urge to reach out and touch him and the equally strong urge to leave him be; she does not like to be coddled when she is feeling poorly, especially when there is no physical cause for it, and she's sure Eskel feels the same. "Are you so very tired?" It wouldn't be surprising. He's probably had a hard slog to get here to see her, and the first thing they did was fuck and then fall asleep, followed by a day of fighting and boasting to make some new friends. "If you wish to rest some, mîn swæs, I will not begrudge you it."
