Aearwen's Little Bits - Conspiracy

[aearwen2]

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.”

This is a fun piece, even if a very different side to the Aearwen that I know and love.

I have always thought that Arwen had the capability of having both a sharp tongue and perhaps less understanding of her husband. She is, after all, Elrond's daughter and Galadriel's grand-daughter. She was sharp of wit, and fully capable of being... erm... strong-minded?

And I could easily see her brothers pranking her by enlisting Estel's assistance after she moved to Minas Tirith. But I also could see Estel knowing he was getting himself into trouble, as he's quite experienced with his brothers' pranks from before.

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