[Why is Ford hanging around near the castle when he's an outlier and pretty outspoken about disliking the Mistress? Because he's kind of like a cat. You tell him 'don't go near this dangerous thing' and he wants to stick his stupid nose right in it. Mainly he wants to get a feel for patrol schedules, on account of that's always useful information to have, and noting it down in his journal (his private one, not the magical one that everyone can see. He's not going to make that mistake again).
The first time she slips he winces. The second time he gives a kind of quiet, disbelieving laugh, far too soft for her to hear. The third time he decides it's officially time to maybe step in here, even if it blows his cover.]
You know, if you stay sitting down for a little it may actually help the bruising. Cold is good for that.
[Yeah just plonk your barely-covered ass down in the snow, it's fine.
It should be noted he is not actually aware this woman he's talked to twice now is also Eowyn or he'd maybe -- well, no, okay. He'd probably still suggest she put her ass in the snow.]
