*Hunger ate at him. Why did she refuse to see?*
"Then you are a fool." *He muttered under his breath. His body tightened and he turned away from her.*
"What exactly did your uncle tell you of me?"

*Lady Éowyn had lived a very protected life. And Uncle Théoden had been too fond of her to want to tell her the real version of the legends of Dracula. Instead he had told her a version more suitable for romantic young ladies. So Éowyn looked innocently up at him, not understanding why he looked so tense, or why he turned away.*
"He told me that you are a gentleman and that you were always so kind to ladies."

*To be honest, that shocked Vlad a little. That wasn't what most were told of him.*
"That's it? It hardly makes me out to sound like much of a prince...or much of anything really."
*His pride was wounded by this man he had never met.*

*Lady Éowyn came over to him, placing a gentle hand on his arm.*
"He also told me that you are a brave fighter, and a man with a mysterious past. But he never told me anything about what mysteries you are hiding. I have always felt that he kept something from me. Something important..."

"Many things, I would imagine."
*He answered her without turning to face her.*
"Perhaps he was right to keep my the details of my life from you."

*Lady Éowyn looked up at him, admiring his strong form and his dark hair. She would love to run her fingers through it.*
"Why is that, my lord?"
*There was a slight hint of sadness in her voice.*

*He looked over his shoulder, but didn't meet her eyes.*
"For there are many things in my life that would make you think less of me."

*Lady Éowyn lifted her arm and allowed her hand to glide gently through his dark hair.*
"I would never think less of you, my lord."
*She replied quietly and looked up at him with her glittering, bright blue eyes.*

You say that now.
*Vlad turned to face her fully, his dark eyes finding her pale ones.*
"What exactly did you think they meant by giving me the name 'Impaler'?"

*Lady Éowyn looked deeply into his dark eyes as she replied, in her soft melodic voice.*
"I think it was a cruel trick by your political enemies, to give you a bad reputation, and make your position as a ruler hard, not to say impossible, in their regions."

"Ah, yes..."
*He smiled slightly, but not in good humor.*
"Then did they mention that I forced mothers to devour their own children and drank the blood of my enemies as I dined surrounded by their dying bodies?"

*Lady Éowyn looked up at him and smiled too.*
"Well, at least you were not forcing them to stay behind bars until use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire."
*She became serious and looked into his eyes again.*
"That is the only thing I fear."

Pardon?
*This blind acceptance confused him. Was she truly not frightened by the monster he was?*
"You are telling me that you would approve of such actions? Such...atrocities?"

*Lady Éowyn smiled and looked up at him.*
"Why not, my lord? If it keeps you happy. As a shieldmaid of Rohan, I am in no place to judge you. I have chopped heads of several orcs, and can be cruel on the battlefield. When someone hurts my friends or family, I will not rest until the deed is punished."

*He exhaled sharply in disbelief.*
"You are most...unusual, Lady Éowyn of Rohan."
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
