[inafadingcrown]

So it is true what they say, that little girls grow up to marry men like their fathers.

[silvergift]

[adgdjghlajg]

Mother!

[inafadingcrown]

You must admit, dear, that describes your father just as well as it does Lord Elrond.

[silvergift]

Well... yes but I thought it might be cheating if I were to list all of Elrond's traits.

[All the pouts.]

[inafadingcrown]

I scarcely refrained from mentioning your father by name. [She knows the feeling.] Would your list have been the same before you met him, do you think?

[silvergift]

Some of it might have been. It's a little hard to say now.

[inafadingcrown]

Interesting. [She would not say the same.]

[silvergift]

Is it?

[inafadingcrown]

[A little laugh] Surely I have told you that your father is not at all what I had expected in the man I would marry. I simply wondered if it was the same for you.

[silvergift]

You mentioned it but I wonder, what did you expect?

[bythewaves]

[ a low laugh ] I am glad, for my foster son's sake, that he matches your expectations, little niece!

[silvergift]

I was almost tempted to list his every trait but I felt that might defeat the point of this.

dear dreamwidth stop asking me if I want to ban people akdjhalhj

[bythewaves]

I suppose it might, indeed! Well, since he is not here, I suppose I must ask for him instead, eh? What drew you to him first, little niece?

dreamwidth plz

[silvergift]

Hmm. [She looks thoughtful, smiling.]

He was very kind. I suppose that was what first drew me to him. He showed me around Imladris during my first days there.

[bythewaves]

He must have been so proud! And was he shy, little niece, or bold?

[silvergift]

A bit of both, really. He hardly met my eyes that day but he did not hesitate to tell me all I wanted to know of his home.

[bythewaves]

Ah, well. At least he knew how to properly entertain you! Elros would be proud - he used to get all tongue-tied, you know, when talking to a pretty ellith or lady! How long before he took you dancing, I wonder, or asked you for a walk himself, rather than being strangely in your way when you went out!

[silvergift]

He was more quiet, much of the time, than tongue-tied. And it was some time actually before he asked me to dance and he was frequently simply nearby when I took a walk.

[bythewaves]

Yes, he was always fond of that trick, until he gained enough courage to bring whatever was on his mind up. He did that to me sometimes too, although obviously not for such delicate issues as the ones he doubtless wished to bring up with you!

[silvergift]

It took him a long time to bring up anything delicate. Nearly two thousand years. And then he had to ask my parents for my hand. [She's sure Maglor can imagine how that went.]

[bythewaves]

[ a low rumbling chuckle ]

Ah me. That boy was always too nervous about such things. And what did your parents say when he finally gathered the courage?

[silvergift]

Mother knew already what he wanted. Mother knew about Elrond courting me long before I chose to announce it. My father was less pleased. He's known Elrond longer than I have but he still was not sure he was good enough for his little girl.

[bythewaves]

I think all fathers suffer that affliction, no? At least, I assume so, based on how Falmamiriel's father treated me!

[silvergift]

Hm, perhaps they do. He did concede though, seeing how I loved him more than anyone else that had ever tried for my affection.
