Caught in the Rain

Prompt: rain, vault, flummoxed, sparkle (Session: 01.08.2021 Olympics)

Círdan gets wet, Ereinion thinks it's the coolest thing he's ever seen. Or something like this

Rated: General

The rain had caught him by surprise and Círdan cursed as he vaulted over the fence in a desperate attempt to escape the downpour.

He had hoped to surprise Ereinion with some pearls from the market. The boy had been feeling a bit blue recently.

But there were no pearls to be found, and now he was drenched. The only prize for his trouble.

He pushed open the door.

Finally, home.

Ereinion stared at him, flummoxed at first, then delighted, and Círdan raised an eyebrow.

“You sparkle!”, the boy exclaimed, pointing at the raindrops in his hair, reflecting the candlelight.
