The twins
entered the library and stopped at the entrance hesitatingly. They were all
there. Erestor, Glorfindel and their father… They were in trouble.
“Come…
Please.”. Both Glorfindel and Erestor moved their gazes to the main door as
Elrond welcomed his hesitant sons. The two elflings were standing as if they
wanted to run away from the room.
“Ada…We…”
Elrohir stopped as Elrond calmly raised his hand shushing him.
“I do not
want to hear any excuses. From either of you.” He stared at both of them
sternly.
&n
“But…”
“Elladan.”
The Lord of Imladris warned to his oldest son as he looked at him. “I will be the one asking only the questions
that need to be answered.” Both his sons looked at him and then stared at the
floor. “You have spilled ink on two of
our more useful maps, Elrohir´s robe was ruined in the attempt to save the
documents. The library is a mess and I believe Glorfindel asked you to tidy
it…how long ago?. An hour?!…”
“And a
half…” muttered the youngest prince.
“We are
sorry Ada… It is just that…” Elladan
was adding when he found himself interrupted by his father’s deep voice.
“What was
so important as to trouble your tutor this way? … and to delay your class?!”
“It is my
fault… I said something I should have known would upset Elrohir and …”
“ No,
Papa…It was my fault. I left Elladan speaking to himself and when I … well I
went to find him …” The youngest prince interrupted his brother.
“First. I
can not imagine what could have been so important as to leave your brother
speaking to himself. But that I will not ask about. What I want to know is much
less complicated. Why have you two left the library when Glorfindel clearly
asked you to stay here and clean this chaos you have created…”
“There is
no simple answer to that Ada…” Elladan almost stepped back unconsciously as he
met his father’s irritated look. Elladan thought he would die of fear if he
were an orc and had to face his enraged father in battle. He could kill the
enemy with that piercing look. Elladan was happy he was his son… and not his
enemy. “Well it is not simple to explain…”He muttered fearfully.
“Elrohir?.
Can you explain what happened?”
Elrohir did
not dare to look up from the square he was concentrating on. If he looked up he
would look at Glorfindel and his father would notice. The stone square was
safer… “No. Papa… I am sorry…” He whispered.
“You have
troubled Glorfindel the way you did for no reason then?!”
“Nay… There
was a reason, Ada…” Elrohir babbled still staring at the stone square next to
his father’s feet.
“We
just…can not tell it to you …”The oldest twin added uneasily.
Elrond
raised both his eyebrows and stared at his children mutely. What could he say
to that?.
“And we are
sorry we distressed Glorfindel… we did not mean to…”Elladan felt a little
uncomfortable with the fact, that his dark haired tutor had been present for
his father’s admonishment to them… He was looking stern again, serious, as he
always looked… Suddenly Elladan missed the smile Erestor let him see a few hours
ago…
“We will
behave… We promise papa…” Elrohir mumbled shyly. Glorfindel was there… how was
Elrohir going to convince the blond eldar that he was older enough to be with
him if his father kept treating him like this in front of him…
“Do you
have something you would like to say, Glorfindel?” Elrond asked.
“No…” The
golden haired elf shook his head slightly as he faced the Lord of the house.
Elrohir´s
heart broke in thousands of pieces… He had troubled his beloved and now
Glorfindel was sad and stressed because of him… and Elladan… Ah… what would
Elrohir not do to soothe Glorfindel´s worries away…
“Well… I
think there is nothing more to say then. You will clean that …” The Lord of the
house pointed the mess on the floor. “And you will start your class as soon as
you finish with it. When you finish here, you two will go help Lindir in the
kitchen and do what ever he needs you to…yes Elladan?!” Elrond stared at his
older son menacingly as this one, bit his tongue not to complain. “Something
you want to say?”
“No papa…
We will help Lindir…” The oldest twin managed to say unhappily.
“Good… Now
start with that…” Elrohir and Elladan went to do as they were ordered and the
dark haired elven Lord grasped the golden haired shoulder reassuringly. “Do you
feel like dealing with them until the afternoon my friend?” He asked not so
secretly that his children did not hear and he could almost feel Elrohir´s
anxious peep at them while he tided the papers on the floor. “ If either of
them cause even minimal trouble, you send them to the study” He added after
Glorfindel nodded.
The dark
haired elder had left the room and after taking a deep breath Glorfindel stood
to help the twin brothers clean the mess it should have been cleaned hours ago…
