Chapter! Yay! Something to distract me from the awful smoke outside!

TURIEL!!!!! Our girl!

‘a pair of very silly boys’

Well, they are. Someone will have to show her how to make a ribbon cushion . . . .

It occurred to Elladan that they had just committed themselves to joining in again in the future, for there is no way they would let Legolas’s wager go unclaimed.

Very clever ellon, that one.

He fleetingly wondered if anyone here still thought of the sons of Thorontor as Galadhrim

Hmmmmm, if any of the three of them, it would likely be Haldir.

[Turiel] reached down and kilted up her dress, then took a couple of steps back before running and jumping the fire herself.

That surprised Elladan who had assumed festive dresses would have made the jumping a male only sport. His companion also looked slightly surprised.

Then she said, “I was not expecting that… my money was on one of the other Ithilrim ellyth to be the first!”You know, if anyone ever runs their mouth about the unworthiness of those who fought, they're going to be white

I'm glad your internetz are working properly now :) And that I can provide distraction from the smoke - I'm hoping your new island is far enough away from the fires that the smoke doesn't badly affect your air quality,

Is Sérë actually older than them? Of course she is right, when not slaying evil, or being required to 'lord' they can still be boys :)

As for Legolas - even if things get a bit 'ships that pass in the night' as they all go in and out of Alqualondë over the next few years, he knows they will have to accept an invitation to spend a solstice in his new home if they haven't had a chance to collect their winnings before that!

He fleetingly wondered if anyone here still thought of the sons of Thorontor as GaladhrimI think Elladan was mostly thinking of the two jumping the fire - Haldir will remain Galadhrim until the remaking of the world I think

Today is better, and with luck and a good strong wind will hopefully see the smoke off!

She is only a yen or so older than the Twins, which is little enough to make no odds - except at moments like this!

All hail Saint Ginger, who put up with a LOT. *g*

I was very proud of my ability to pun in Sindarin :P

So you should have been, that was good.

Samosas, om nom nom nom

I know faux wood blinds would be a better choice given how close the water is here, but I needed something soft.

Oooooh, new chapter!

PS - for your amusement. The Icon is my favourite 'interchangeable El' picture, although he does look quite serious in it. I have a couple of others on my Pinterest board and I realise I clearly have a decided mental image for them, as these do look very much as if they are the same ellyn on different occasions.

So - Absolutely definitive El.

El in rather posy, but not totally ridiculous, armour .

And I would say post-sex slightly dishevelled El but the cleft in the chin is maybe a bit too prominent.

Oh - and also on the 'Elf' board - one saved as possible serious El giving a Paddington Bear stare!

Edited to get correct link for the last one.

Seriously, who needs a longsword in such a situation! And thinking of Grandmother Gull might have been some sort of killjoy then!

[curiouswombat]

Ah well - an artist is always drawn to examples of her art... I was quite pleased with my ability to pun in Sindarin :)

And yes - a good thing that thoughts of soaring birds didn't bring his grandmother to mind!
