One of the very first drabbles I ever wrote, from back in the days of working towards my Stubborn Limpet Award. Enjoy!
“Tell me again why we’re doing this?”
“Because she’s grown complacent, Estel – she thinks you’ve become tame.”
“She knows better!”
“Really? What happened to your plans for a week’s hunting with the ambassador from Rhûn”
“That was different. Eldarion was sick…”
“Estel, how many OTHER healers are in Minas Tirith?”
“She prefers I handle all the children’s ills.”
“Lap dog.”
“I am not!”
“Prove it!”
“I don’t know – are you certain this will wash out, Elladan?”
“Of course it will – eventually – won’t it Elrohir?”
“Come on - trust us, Estel. Would we lead you astray?”
“Yes.”
“Well…?”
“Valar. I’m doomed.”

Date: 2011-09-04 05:23 am (UTC)After playing with an original novel for a bit, I decided to finish the rest of the about 80 days' worth by writing a daily drabble. It was a very interesting discipline to get into - I made myself work on my drabble before I could work on anything else (I think I was writing either Light Fingers or Elladaniel at the time.)
I felt like I'd actually accomplished something when I got my award, believe me! I'd upload the graphic I was given as my reward, but ImageCave is acting up...

He's right: he's doomed. :-D

But good siblings need to keep their sibling on his toes.... You can't let one become too tamed, now, can you ;-)
Loved it :-)
