The birthday request was to ”write your favorite character being tempted by the Ring, to show how the Ring works, not on a person's worst motives, but their best.”
A Shieldmaiden, Tempted
When the Company arrives, she quickly arranges meals and beds.
Later, she joins them, listens, and thinks.
This device - could it not be used to restore her uncle’s health and strength? Then, they could ride to Gondor’s aid. She too would ride - is she not a shieldmaiden? Could she not be a marshal? Could she not -
How to get it? She eyes the hobbit speculatively.
He flushes, looks away; then looks back, speculatively.
Catching his glance, she gasps; then begins to think: how to rearrange the beds…
Something rouses Sam from his dozing; he wakes abruptly, looking for danger.
