Lambe - Tongue

Finrod discovers Galadriel's newest secret.

“You have been strangely quiet at dinner, sister dear”, Finrod said and eyed her suspiciously. “Is something the matter?”

Galadriel blushed and shook her head. Her tongue hurt. Her older brother narrowed his eyes.

“Open your mouth”, he commanded.

“Don’t tell father”, she lisped before she stuck her tongue out. She did not want to deal with Finarfin's opinion about this right now, when she was less then able to explain.

Finrod grinned when he saw the pearl on her tongue, held in place by a golden bar. “You’ve got some balls, little sister. I won’t tell father, but don’t you think he’ll find out eventually?”

Galadriel shrugged and Finrod’s grin widened.

“Looks like you won’t talk back at me for a few days, eh?”, he teased and laughed when she punched him.
