Moonlight.

Moonlight and stars and one needs no sharper knife in the darkness than the sky reflecting against the bright white snow. And so it is the stars on the snow that light his path as he walks beside the lake.

Winter is a cocoon. The stars are freedom. He could walk here like a man through dreams until sunrise and never know the time had passed.

Perhaps he could use some company, though...

Power corrupts.

"But you didn't. Break, I mean. You're still - whole."

Right?

"You won't," Steph says, and this she can say with certainty. "That won't happen. You're - look, you're, like, one of the most awesome people I know."

This is true. Steph has rock-solid faith in Faramir. He could do worse than a little dead girl for an anchor, all things considered.

Steph isn't sure - she rubs her nose thoughtfully. "I ... don't know. I had a baby, and I didn't feel very strong..."

It took her till after she was dead to really feel like she had a place in the world, ironically enough. But if she can help Faramir out of his current woes, that'll make her feel a little more like it.

"But ... yeah. It's, well, it's kind of embarrassing to admit, but you know, you're kinda one of my heroes. I mean, seriously, you really are awesome."

"When I was alive."

Steph apparently realises this is a pretty stupid answer, and adds "I was ... too young. I was only, like, fourteen."

She's quiet for a moment, and then says softly "Her name is Carrie. Carrie Kelley."

Steph's not quite as sensitive to medieval attitudes towards women as her mun is, so it's pretty much sliding past her, with just a quirk of people from history are so weird.

"I'm sure you'll find her again," she says, comfortingly. "She'll come here, or you'll be unBound. It'll happen."

Steph settles back into the snow quietly. She hasn't much more to say. And strangely, talking with Faramir has made her feel better.

She lets her gaze drift back towards the stars. They're pretty. Kon would approve. Would have approved. No - would approve.
