A Kiss on the Walls

'I would,' said Faramir. And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many. And many indeed saw them and the light that shone about them as they came down from the walls and went hand in hand to the Houses of Healing.
["The Return of the King", J.R.R. Tolkien]

Something that I planned to do for years: Eowyn and Faramir, kissing on the top of the walls of Minas Tirith. I've never been a big sucker for romances, but the whole sequence with Eowyn and Faramir somehow always got me. And lo and behold, I did a kissing scene - a very rare animal in my repertoire. There are probably many things wrong with this picture, some of which I cannot pinpoint now, but I'm overall quite satisfied with it. If you have any critiques, I'd gladly welcome them (I don't think I'd be able to fix this piece, but I'd like to know what to watch out for in the future).
