Boromir was already about to give a heated answer, but then he changed his mind and closed his mouth again. He glanced at Faramir, then watched his own hands. “All right, all right, you are right. I have been meeting her quite often lately. I have wondered myself about it, but I do not know what’s happening either. It is just – I feel good with her. I like meeting her. Like it very much.” He stopped, searching for some reaction in his brother’s face. The latter now looked more serious as he spoke again. “You like her very much, do you not?” “I do. She is really special. So very gentle-hearted, though passionate too. And she listens to what I say. She is truly interested in it. She does not just listen to be polite. And she can be very amusing, you know. You should have seen her talking about that – “ He broke off at the look in Faramir’s eyes. ”What is it?” Faramir asked. Boromir hesitated. “Nothing – you just looked at me in a somehow strange way…” ”Did I? Well, I was just considering if … if you might have fallen in love with her,” he said in a low voice. His brother looked at him in surprise. “You think that?” ”Well, yes, indeed. It is the way you are talking about her. You seem to be relaxed when you are telling what she is like and how she acts. And happy somehow.” “You are the first to notice that.” Boromir was obviously irritated by his brother’s statement, for he seemed not to know what to say. ”Maybe I simply know you better than others do. I am your brother. So – what do you say? Have you fallen in love with her?” ”I – I do not know. Love … that is a strange thing, is it not?” Boromir was slightly absent-minded. “You may be right. It is something very vague.” ”Indeed. And no one can tell you how it has to feel … “ ”I know,” Faramir said understandingly. “Listen, if you want to know what I think about it, I can tell you that I have loved few people in my life – you are one of those of course, Father as well. I think I loved Mother too.” His eyes darkened, though the fire’s light was reflected in them. “Therefore I may not be the ideal person to ask, but although these experiences are so few, there is one thing I know. Love is a great word that is used for many kinds of affection, but what is behind it is definitively greater. And it does not help to think much about it – it just has to be there. And my opinion is that you will know when it is there.” 19
Boromir eyed his brother closely. “Why are you so wise sometimes, Faramir? I would really like to know where you get these thoughts from.” “That is not important now, is it?” ”It is. What should I do without a brother like you giving me wise advice?” ”Well, I am sure you would find another solution.” Faramir’s smiling expression turned serious again. “Now – is it there? Do you know if there is something there for her?” Boromir remained silent for a few moments, then said in a stronger voice, “I have the feeling there is something, yes. I cannot really define what it is, but something is there, something good. Maybe I should try to find out what it is exactly.” Faramir smiled again. “Do it. I am sure she can call herself a lucky woman if she is able to cause you these feelings, although they are still undefined.” ”Thank you, brother.” Now Boromir smiled too. “I would really not know what to do if I had not you to talk about such things. And I shall tell you one thing, I really believe that the person who is able to cause you such feelings is even luckier. I am sure you will find this person soon too.” “And until that day there are you and Father,” Faramir added. ”Of course we are there. And we shall be there still when you have found someone, I hope.” 20
