Market Day

for the instadrabble prompts: fragrant, bustle, refused, hastened

Market day in Alqualondë was a bustle of song and laughter and, occasionally, an impromptu dance in a square. Fragrances hung in the air—perfumes and flowers and fresh-baked bread and more.

Celebrían followed closely on Ëarwen’s heels, but needn’t have worried; her grandmother could not be hastened, and the crowds flowed around them like water around a stone, calling out greetings.

There were wares for sale from all over Aman, and each item, it seemed, was accompanied by a tale. Ëarwen soon had Celebrían’s arms piled with gifts, and only laughed, refusing to listen, when Celebrían tried to protest.
