Heres the next of my mini vignettes:
'Ada'
All was silent in the study, the only noise that could be hears, being the soft scratching of King Thranduil's quill on the parchment. Thranduil was used to this silence, so it surprised him when a childish voice interrupted him
"Ada" it said, glancing around for the source, the King laid eyes on his small son. Smiling softly he shook his head. It couldn't have been Legolas…could it?
The child smiled up at his Father, who was looking after him while his Mother got some well deserved rest. After all, it was the queen who would wake in the middle of the night to see to her child, when the King would just groan despairingly and go back to sleep.
"Ada" the King now immersed in his work glanced back at Legolas, who was pointing at him "Ada" the child said again.
A smile appeared on the King's face, and he knelt beside his young son. "Yes, Legolas. I am your Ada" he said encouragingly "Shall we go and show your Nana what a clever child you are?" He scooped the child into his arms and carried him from the room, his eyes shining with joy as the word echoed in his mind. 'Ada'
