A Bow for Bran

[shieldmaiden_rohan]

Finding an active young one was not simple, but Eowyn was determined.   Kili had completed the bow and presented it to Eowyn a few days earlier.  It was well-made, as she had known it would be, with a good draw and carefully carved Cirth on the nocks.  She had asked Kili what the symbols meant somewhat hesitantly, for she knew well how dwarrows guarded their language, but he had told her willingly.  It was, apparently, a traditional phrase for swift arrows and good aim.  Since Bran was a child, it also had a few words for growing up strong and brave.

She had wrapped the bow in cloth together with its arrows and quiver and gone to Summerfell first.  If Bran was not there, someone might be able to tell her in which direction he had gone.

Summer was lying in a sunbeam in the yard, so it was sure that Bran had to be somewhere nearby. He was in Robb's workshop with the door open and easy to spot as he carefully carved a piece of wood. His project was newly started and didn't look like much more than a block of wood, but Bran had his tongue between his teeth and it was obvious he was concentrating very hard on his work. He didn't notice Eowyn's arrival, though Summer lifted his head and wagged his tail a few times.
