Rumil makes a return...uh oh...
CHAPTER 6
Rumil was able to make it away from Haldir and back to the library. Unfortunately for him, Doron still sat there with Orophin. Doron began to stand but was halted by Orophin.
"Doron nin, leave him be."
Rumil glared at his brother.
"Do you think I cannot fight off a mere librarian?"
Orophin was on his feet in an instant. He glared at Rumil.
"What is wrong with you Rumil? Why is it you cannot accept this?"
Rumil rolled his eyes.
"Is it not obvious?"
Orophin knew it was not because Doron was a male for Rumil accepted that type of relationship.
"No. It must not be."
Rumil shook his head.
"It is beneath one of the galadhrim to court with a librarian."
Orophin felt a rage enter him. He knocked his brother to the floor and proceeded to hit him. He felt a pair of arms encircle him and pull him away from his brother. Doron kissed Orophin's forehead and attempted to calm him down. Moments later, Haldir entered with Celeborn. Haldir knelt beside Rumil, knowing his brother had deserved this.
"Come. I will take you to Eamane."
Rumil allowed Haldir to aid him out of the library. Celeborn stayed and turned to face the couple in front of him. He had a feeling that Orophin had attacked his own brother. Rumil must have used harshness in his words to get Orophin that angry with him.
"Orophin, did Rumil tell you what he has against your courtship?"Celeborn asked gently, knowing that even when upset, Orophin would never lay a hand on him.
Orophin did not reply, Doron did.
"Rumil said that it is beneath a galadhrim to court with a librarian."
Celeborn's eyes widened. Did Rumil truly feel this way? Orophin mumbled something about wanting to rest and Doron went with him after asking permission from Celeborn. Celeborn shook his head as he watched them leave. Why did Rumil feel this way? Celeborn left the library. This all had gone far enough. Rumil would now answer to him.
