Chapter Text
Boromir looked at his brother, really looked at him. He could see he was in pain.
“No, Faramir, don’t take it like this. I’m the bigger brother, it’s my duty to try to keep you safe!” he said merrily: “That’s why I am the one who must go.”
Faramir shook his head, but then smiled and nodded.
Boromir mounted on his horse.
“So, little brother, keep the city safe, and take care of yourself.”
“You too.”
Boromir rode off at a gallop. Faramir went to the gates to watch him go, and kept watching until he disappeared at the horizon.
