Ivriniel
She twirled the water lily between her fingers.
"Would you marry a knight or a king?" She asked. Finduilas lay beside her on the soft meadow grass. Her eyes were closed, head upward to enjoy the sunlight.
"Marriage?" Finduilas' voice was teasing. "Hmmm, I will tell father you are having unladylike thoughts concerning men."
Ivriniel dropped the water lily on her sister's face. Finduilas gave an outraged gasp and swatted the lily away before laughing. Pretty blue eyes met her darker blue ones. Finduilas was not beautiful, but she was pretty, in a lively, innocent maidenly way.
"Well, with your looks, my dear sister," Finduilas said, turning to her side. Free black hair spilled behind her. Finduilas' eyes were dancing in mischief. "I am sure you can snare even a king." Ivriniel reddened. She possessed a darker beauty, much womanly and sensual.
"I don't want as high a station as my beauty is capable of giving me," Ivriniel commented. "But a man with a faithful heart and a good soul is more than enough for me."
"Well, then," Finduilas said briskly. She tugged two blades of grass and offered one to her. Bemused, Ivriniel accepted.
"Here's to a husband with a faithful heart and a good soul," Finduilas winked at her. "And of course, may he be handsome as all our heart's desire."
She held up her blade of grass and laughing, Ivriniel hit it with her own.
