A/N: a letter sent just after one of Thranduil's and Elrond's larger spats.
Herdir Elrond,
I am the one who can beat Glorfindel in the 'My Life Was Worse Than Yours' contest; and the one who can laugh at the most trivial of things.
I am the one who spends hours making sure I look perfect; and the one who comes back from the hunt looking like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards.
I am the one who says to others 'Height doesn't matter'; and the one who wears 2" high heels to make up for my shortness.
I am the one who loves to be in the kitchen; and the one who hardly eats anything.
I am the one who chides the twins for being childish; and the one who cartwheels along corridors when no-one's watching.
I am the one who is furious if you don't listen to me when I'm talking to you; and the one who falls asleep in council meetings.
I am the one who loves treasure; and the last one to fight for gold.
I am the one who dresses to impress; and the one who hides their face in the shadows of a wide-brimmed hat.
I am the one who shouts so loudly your ears bleed; and the one whose voice lulls you to sleep when nothing else will.
I am the one who lets you analyse my mind until the grey hours; and the one who hates too many questions.
You are the one who started this argument; and the one who will miss the other most.
Yours,
Aran Thranduil
