==Synopsis==
As the people of [[Edoras]] journey towards [[Helm's Deep]], [[Gimli]] talks to [[Éowyn]] about [[Dwarf-women]], and how they are often mistaken for male dwarves due to their similar appearances. Apparently this has propagated the belief that dwarves are exclusively male and spontaneously pop out of the earth, which makes Éowyn laugh and which Gimli dismisses as nonsense. When he accidentally causes his horse to gallop forwards, throwing him off the animal's back, Éowyn rushes to his aid with a smile on her face. Observing the scene, [[Théoden]] comments to [[Aragorn]] that it's been a long time since he has seen his niece smile. He tells Aragorn that Éowyn was only a girl when her father was killed by [[Orcs]] and she was handed over to [[Théoden]]'s keeping. He also laments that he wasn't the most affectionate guardian to her at the time and regrets not showing her more love.

Synopsis[edit | edit source]

As the people of Edoras journey towards Helm's Deep, Gimli talks to Éowyn about Dwarf-women, and how they are often mistaken for male dwarves due to their similar appearances. Apparently this has propagated the belief that dwarves are exclusively male and spontaneously pop out of the earth, which makes Éowyn laugh and which Gimli dismisses as nonsense. When he accidentally causes his horse to gallop forwards, throwing him off the animal's back, Éowyn rushes to his aid with a smile on her face. Observing the scene, Théoden comments to Aragorn that it's been a long time since he has seen his niece smile. He tells Aragorn that Éowyn was only a girl when her father was killed by Orcs and she was handed over to Théoden's keeping. He also laments that he wasn't the most affectionate guardian to her at the time and regrets not showing her more love.
