Ithillaer here. Hello! So Aradel and I recently realized how many times the word "hope" is used. Immediately, our minds thought of Aragorn, whose name is Estel, which means "Hope". So here is the random collection of drabbles we thought up. Some will be in drabble format, some in script format. Just in case you're curious. :D
All Elvish translations will be in parenthesees next to the words. Can't have people getting confused! ;)
Elrohir sat glumly on the front steps of the Last Homely House, hugging his knees to his chest. His long raven hair hung untied, concealing most of his grief-filled face. Elladan laid a comforting hand on his brother's shoulder. "It has only been two days, muindor nin (my brother). She may yet come around. And if not, there are other ellethea (female elves) that will capture your fancy. Do not lose hope."
Six-year-old Estel had snuck up behind them during the course of their conversation. Hearing the last part, his eyes bugged and he could no longer keep silent. "But…but you can't! You didn't! I'm RIGHT HERE!"
Elrohir turned around at the sound of his little brother's voice. "No, Estel, we would never lose you," he reassured the boy. Then, with a mischievous grin, began a dramatically slow advance toward Estel, arms and fingers outstretched. Estel, seeing the tickling that was coming, let out a shriek of laughter and ran away, Elrohir close behind.
After a few minutes, Elrohir returned to where Elladan had remained. He plopped himself down next to his brother and, looking at him, said, "I am sorry, muindor nin (my brother). I seem to have lost hope."
