Faramir looked at the table beside them and pointed as best he could with his hands covered by the large towel. "It's right there." Swiftly Boromir picked up the sticky green candy and handed it to his brother. "Here, just finish that and I'll be done before you know it." Faramir worked one hand free of the towel, took the candy and studied it. "It's got fuzz on it now." Boromir sighed, plucked the candy from Faramir's grasp, swished it around in the bowl of water, and placed it back in the child's little hand. "There, it's clean." The younger boy seemed unimpressed. "Isn't that the water you were washing your dirty old comb in?" "Well, I can hardly go wash it in the Great River at the moment," was Boromir's somewhat irritated response. "Now please, be still, or there will be no time to have fun before dinner." At this thought, Faramir grew quiet, and as he had no desire to put his candy stick in his mouth any more, contented himself with breaking it into increasingly smaller pieces as his brother worked on his hair. He did notice, however, that Boromir had stopped talking to himself, but he wasn't sure if that was a good sign or a bad sign. snip snip snipsnip snip snipsnipsnip There was a long moment of silence. snip snipsnip snip Faramir began to notice that his head was feeling much lighter and cooler than before. snip snip snipsnip Boromir wetted the comb again and slicked down Faramir's locks.

"Boromir? Are you done?" There was no reply. "Can I see now?" Still nothing. "Boromir?" Unsure as to whether Boromir was still going to cut his hair, Faramir remained still until his brother finally spoke. "Faramir?" He sounded rather anxious. The younger boy wasn't sure he liked that at all. "Yes?" A few moments of quiet passed. "I love you, Faramir." This was not at all what Faramir had been expecting to hear, and he scowled in bewilderment. "Um, I love you, too, Boromir," he said. "Are you done? Can I see my hair now?" After a moment, the very damp towel was slowly pulled from Faramir's shoulders. "Yes," was Boromir's answer, in a dull tone even more worrisome than before. "Yes, you can see your hair now.” 68 Some distance away, two charwomen who were scrubbing the steps of the palace suddenly stopped in their chores and looked up at each other in surprise. After a moment, one of them spoke. "Did you just hear some poor child scream?” Denethor sighed wearily as he plodded up the road approaching Minas Tirith on his finely decorated steed, his entourage of courtiers and guards
