Chapter 2
Although had seven years passed by, Estel resembled a child of 2 years physically as mentally. He after all grew up like He was a sweet child and loved by every elf in Imladris.
Though he favoured his sister Arwen and the twin brothers above everyone else but his Ada, Glorfindel quickly became one of his favourite elves. He did like Erestor but he was always scolding him not to run in the house.
Glorfindel who was the seneschal spoiled him rotten to the dismay of Elrond. At the dinner table, Estel who sat in Elladan's lap turned wide silvery gray eyes towards his Ada. "Ada canst I come with you to wowk tomowwow?" he pleaded. "And can I watch Glowfy play with his swowd?" he asked his father.
He still couldn't pronounce his r very well and tended to use w in their place. Elround made the mistake of looking in to the wide eyes of his son and any denies he was about to make of that Estel couldn't go to work with him or Glorfindel capitulated.
"Fine" he sighed. "You may come with me my study but for one promise" he said. "Yes Ada?" Estel said docile. "You have to go to Erestor if I need to go to the houses of healing" Elrond insisted.
Upon hearing this Erestor choked in his food. "Pardon me Hir Nin!" but I truly can't keep the little terror with me! he protested vehemently. "He disobeys me and runs away from me".
"Hey"! Elladan and Elrohir protested loudly. 'You can't call our adorable Estel a menace! He's even sweeter than Arwen as a babe! Not that you weren't sweet, dear sister" they hurriedly said upon seeing Arwen's murderous glare.
Elrond pointedly ignored the twin's attics and looked at Estel. "Will you promise me that?" He asked of him. Estel nodded his head shaking so frantically many thought it would somehow disconnect and fall off.
The next morning found a bright eyed and wide awake Estel waiting in his crib for someone to take him. "Dan!" He squealed soundlessly when he saw his older brother walk into the room.
He immediately lied down again and pretended to be still asleep. Grinning Elladan walked up to the crib. "Estel! Wakey wakey"! he chuckled. When he was mostly ignored but for a giggle he mock glared at Estel.
With a war cry he attacked the child scooping him up from the crib and tickling him. Squealing and laughing little Estel tried to squirm free. When the older elf turned out to be too strong for him to break loose he went lax in Elladan's arms.
Elladan who thought Estel had surrendered put him on the ground. Estel saw his chance for Elladan gad turned his back on him to put out clothes for Estel to wear today ran off as fast as his tiny legs could carry him and barged into Elrohir's room.
"WO, WO"! He shouted. "Dan's meanie" he pouted. Elrohir who woke up the moment Estel entered the room groaned at this. "Estel let me sleep" he mumbled. "But… but…" his lower lip began to quiver and his silvery grey eyes shimmered with unshed tears.
Elrohir sensing a temper tantrum groaned and stood up. "Fine!" he said exasperated come along Estel. And still in his night robe he went to breakfast.
