Read Of Peredhil and Seagulls
"Elwing?"
"Hmm?" The girl leaned on the sea-wall, turning to look at Eärendil. "What are you doing?"
"I am watching the seagulls," Elwing replied patiently, as though it were obvious. "What are you doing?"
"Waiting for the fishing boats to come in. I suppose the presence of the gulls means they shall be here shortly."
Elwing nodded. She smiled faintly as a seagull came to land by her. "Hello, little friend. How do you fare?" she asked the bird courteously.
The seagull tilted its head at her. "Mine?" it squawked.
Elwing laughed. "You are silly."
"Some of the ellyn say you are silly, Elwing, talking to birds as if they could understand you," Eärendil ventured.
She spun about, hands on her hips. "Oh do they now, Eärendil. What do you say?"
He scoffed, shaking his blond hair out of his face. "That they are silly, of course. Talking to birds is fine with me. Does not Lord Manwe receive intelligence that way? Perhaps they will speak back to you eventually." He gave her a grin. "Besides, you are still the best girl I have ever met, Elwing."
"Perhaps," Elwing said, cheered by the thought, and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you, Eärendil."
??? Happy Eärendil and…
???
Happy Eärendil and Elwing! And a sweet little sea gull, too! What more could anyone want?
My first thought reading this was, Elwing establishes a spy network of her own with her feathered friends.
They will be unbeatable *grins*
*giggles* I bet Elwing would…
*giggles* I bet Elwing would LOVE to establish a spy network with her seagull friends!! :D
Thank you so much Shadow!
I like that conversation…
I like that conversation between those two, Kaylee, and the gull is fun!
Thanks so much Himring! :) …
Thanks so much Himring! :)
Gulls are always fun!
Elwing and Eärendil
Aren't they sweet together! .
And of course her seagull friend is talking to Elwing.
They really are, and of…
They really are, and of course he is! He's a very good seagull! :)
Aww, so sweet <3 This is a…
Aww, so sweet <3 This is a lovely moment between these two.
Also, I like the idea that Elwing could understand the birds, even before she'd been one herself!
Thank you! I like that idea…
Thank you!
I like that idea too. Weirdly, once she becomes one herself, she needs to start re-learning how to speak to them. Maybe it's something about being a grown-up and losing a little bit of imagination. Hmm...you make me think lots of interesting things! :)
