Oh this is brilliant!  I love the true wisdom you give Galadriel here, taming her rash brother's wrath.

I pulled off his belt and smacked him with it,
Even though you didn't mention a 'where' he smacked him, my first thought was Angrod spanking Caranthir in the marketplace with his own belt was probably the talk of Tirion for years!  Yikes!

“Ah, so you’d have doused Prince Morifinwë in a bucket of salty, fishy water? Yes, that would have been clever.”
hehehehe

Galadriel's approach is very wise, it's what I've seen proposed for people berating someone in public like that!  I love that she goes on to muse about why he is like that, and the idea of her brother perhaps turning out very differently in a different family hurt! 

Beautiful fic and beautiful lesson both! <3

 

 

Oh, I think you are imagining quite correctly where he smacked him. I mean, anywhere else would have hurt even more! And Angrod doesn't really want to hurt him, now does he? 

it's what I've seen proposed for people berating someone in public like that! Yes, it's a shame the Noldor weren't into psychology... or if they were, they weren't all that good at applying it.

Thank you, very glad you enjoyed.
