Even at this point, Éomeléo was unsure exactly what Valesseka thought of him. Most things indicated that she wanted to stay with him for a long time, but there was still that hint of adversity in those, admittedly beautiful, eyes of hers. He thought back to that night in Rhovanion, where she had been seething in anger for reasons Éomeléo could not guess. But he also remembered that horrible night after the Huorn-attack, when he had felt so alone and had wanted her beside him so much. Surely that feeling could not go unreciprocated? That would be tragic. He stood in a daze, imagining the horror.
But returning to reality:
"Valesseka" he said, "I do want to travel with you. Where is it you want to go?"
And he took her by the hand.
