Language Lesson
Eleniel: 15
Eleniel hated arguing with her family, but it happened.
And this was one of those times.
She had been in a foul mood for ages as it was, and her father informing her that she needed to 'change her attitude' only worsened it.
Now, she was sat on her bed in her room, hands balled into fists as she tried to calm down. However, she was quite terrible at calming down, and angrily let an Elvish curse word slip out of her mouth in a fit of irritation.
Unluckily for her, that had been the exact time Elladan decided to walk into the room.
He stopped at the door, grey eyes slowly narrowing, before striding over to his sister and standing in front of her bed, his tall figure looming intimidatingly over her.
"What did you just say?" he asked quietly, and Eleniel felt her nerves beginning to rise. He really was quite scary when he was mad.
Looking down, she sighed. There was no point in denying it – her brother had heard her. "I don't think it would be wise to repeat it," she said, and Elladan nodded.
"I know you are upset, and I know you are angry, but if I ever hear that word come out of your mouth again, I will not hesitate to tell Ada exactly what you said. Do you understand?"
"Yes. Goheno nin," Eleniel whispered, tears beginning to roll down her cheeks, and Elladan sat next to her, drawing her into his arms.
"It is forgotten, tithen fileg nin. Now, are you going to tell me what it is that has you in such a horrible mood?"
Eleniel sniffed, and, amidst tears and sobs, told her brother the entire story.
Elvish used:
Goheno nin – Forgive me
Tithen fileg nin – My little bird
Based a little on what happened to me today with a beloved teacher. It was for a valid reason, though and he understood in the end…
At least I can be happy that he wasn't as terrifying as Elladan! O.O ~ Gre3neaf
