The Diary of Eodryth

Well oh well diary of mine...I am finally back home, well not 'home' home of course that is Rohan, however my hopes of the path to Rohan being open by the time I escaped Moria have not come to pass so Bree is home for now! It is bliss to be eating regularly again and not have the constant threat of Goblins and other such beasts attacking you as you sleep, although things are not quite as I imagined them to be upon my return. Cymaru and myself did not even recognise each other when we quite literally bumped into each other in the Pony! Well, she didn't recognise me due to my now very bushy beard and I wanted to see if she could work it out, I'm glad she did. Her initial happiness however was short-lived after she asked me to explain why I had left and then took me to Eoryn to explain to the both of them.....Eoryn did not seem as shocked as normal, I suppose she's used to me running off without a word by now, Cym stayed reasonably quiet until we got to the Hunting Lodge for breakfast where she was not herself - not eating, making scaving comments, etc. - turns out I was the cause. We argued about my leaving and she said some very harsh words, not that I didn't deserve them, but it wasn't until I told her the only reason I keep fighting off in distant lands is because the further away the enemy are the safer Cym and Eoryn are that her face changed from anger to....I don't really know what to describe her emotion as really, whatever it was she broke down into tears. I told her what I told you as well my diary, I told her that I loved her, yet this was not met by the warm smile that I expected, she looked down, started stumbling over her words, mentioned that it was a man who gave her the amazing new dress she was wearing...that can only mean one thing, he's rich and he likes her. Oh diary, has my last escapade caused me to lose Cym.....she needs a man who will fight for her, not buy her out of trouble, she needs me!
