Steward of Gondor was never a title with any appeal for him. It was his father's title, and meant to pass to Boromir. And Boromir was welcome to it. He was meant for other things, for less bloody things, or so he'd hoped. He'd tried to die in Boromir's place a thousand times over and very nearly succeeded, but even in dying could he not live up to his father's will. Nor could he give it up. But with Aragorn's coronation, the Steward's role will be more to his suiting. And so, he suspects, will the woman smiling at him.
