Eowyn's "disguise" - who was fooled by it? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm sure that Eomer had more important things to worry about than whether his sister had secretly escaped from Meduseld, and was currently following them, dressed in armor, and carrying an equally furtive Halfling. He was busy helping Theoden lead the army. He knew that Eowyn wanted to fight, but he probably didn't give her enough credit for having the guts to pull off something like that. Ultimately, he thought that she would just sit at home, and do what she was told. He didn't realize the true depth of her desire to be a real shieldmaiden.
