Extra drabble: Classy Footwear

The great-granddaughter of Elros who travelled and explored Numenor and the love she found in a fisher village during one of her journeys--talking about shoes.

A drabble featuring the same protagonists that I had written some time ago and discovered I had not cross-posted, when I posted this story, so I've now added it here.

Chronologically earlier, obviously!

No warnings.

She stubbornly avoided Yavien's gaze and looked down at their feet. Inevitably, she began to compare those, too.

Yavien's shoes  were made for walking, her stockings plain, travel wear, not for show. But still--how they stood out beside the rush sandals she had fashioned for herself!

'See?'  she burst out. 'You surely paid that royal cobbler of yours more for those shoes than I earn in a month! We just don't match!'

'And I thought it was something I had done!' said Yavien. She took her shoes and stockings off.

'Slip out of those sandals and we'll match again.'
