[ Elia meets his gaze readily enough, yet she cannot help but feel like they are speaking of two different things. Yes, of course she has not wronged Faramir by having a lover before him. But many men would be upset at her for it anyway, and even if they weren't, they likely would not be so eager to have her speak of it with Éowyn. ]
I do not really think I have hurt you or her. [ She sighs, moving to sit up against the headboard. ] That is the problem. No one has done anything wrong yet we are all hurting. Éowyn cares for us both now [ unlike him, Elia isn't just going to throw around the word love. ] but I'm sure it pains her, that we have each other when she is alone.
But I am glad you came to me first. Even when we were girls, she wanted to be the sort of person who did not show her feelings to the world.
[ A ghost of a smile on her face now, as Elia had always found her failure in this regard rather endearing. Now she cannot forget the look on Éowyn's face when it became clear that she did not just have a husband, she had a husband that she loved. How is she supposed to fix that? ]
