Birdseed for Manwë [Manwë x Varda]

Warning: This is a bit of a darker take on the relationship of the Elder King and his Queen.


"Come here, my love."

Gracefully, Varda opens the golden cage and holds out her hand for a tiny white bird to hop onto it.

Manwë trills and chirps at her with the usual exuberant delight she so enjoys. Eagerly pecking at the seeds she offers him, he keeps looking up at her with round, beady blue eyes.

"May I...?"

"Not yet," she chastises gently. "This treat you have earned, but you will have to sit in your cage a while longer."

It is safer for him inside anyway, she thinks to herself. No liars or deceivers, no hurt or evil.
