Bestowal dialogue
'Yes, I too am well-rested and ready for the day ahead! Until now, we have only briefly touched upon the mearas. I wish to explore the bond between the Rohirrim and horses. One could say that it started with the wanderings of the Ai-thúda. I would argue that it was the taming of the mearas that created the real bond that I and my people have with horses. Come, let us find this bond, together.'
