Are they the same age?
And what was the epesse?

Sérëdhiel is a few yeni younger than the Twins; Eleniel is a very young elleth and is soaking (and laughing) with friends a few pools over. My thought was "hike goes hilariously wrong: only edhel around, no one hurt, everyone winds up filthy".

I haven't worked out the Quenya for it, but it translates as "bone wielder": Sérëdhiel put an extra-long bonefolder into the eye of an orc when she ran out of arrows. She came out of it with a dislocated shoulder and broken wrist, but she lived. This was the same trip during which the Twins used thread and needles from her book repair kit for field surgery: she absolutely accepted the necessity (and they replaced everything a couple of times over), but it's an affectionate point of contention between them.

Drabbles: a lot of work, and mine seem to be raising more questions than they're answering! I'll get the hang of it at some point. Thank you for commenting!

Thank you! I'm enjoying your answers!
I should have said--the mood of the drabble came across very clearly!
And whetting curiosity does not seem a bad effect?
In some ways, OCs are more difficult to handle, as protagonists for a drabble series.

(But it does save you the anxiety I experienced posting my latest drabble--wondering whether, who knows, somebody once already wrote exactly the same thing and posted it to the community in times past...)
