On the Brink
Eleniel: 15
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pleeeaaase?"
"Eleniel."
"Please?"
Elladan turned to look at his sister. His sister, who was the equivalent of a seventeen-year-old human and still whining like an elfling.
Eleniel noticed her brother's eyes on her and smiled sweetly, tilting her head to the side and crossing her legs where she was sat on the sofa next to the older Peredhel. "Please?"
"If you say that one more time, I swear to Eru…" Elladan warned, letting the threat hang.
Eleniel smirked. She turned to look out of the window and inwardly sighed. It was still raining.
She had been absolutely bored out of her mind all day. Elrond, Erestor and Glorfindel were talking about boring adult stuff in the Hall of Fire, Estel was reading a boring book in his room, and Elrohir was signing boring documents that he had let pile up over the week and only just got to.
The only one who was seemingly not doing anything boring was Elladan, but even he was beginning to show no signs of having fun.
Which was why she was now begging him to spar with her. Outside. In the cold. While it was raining.
Elladan, of course, wanted to stay in his room, on his sofa, in front of the warm fire.
Eleniel, on the other hand, wanted the complete opposite.
"I'm bored," she said.
"Really?" Elladan rose an eyebrow at his sister, an irritated look on his face. "I would never have guessed."
"Dan, I want to train."
"Well, I don't."
"Elladaaaaaan."
"Eleniel, I am on the brink of impatience."
The elleth's smirk widened. Well. This was better than nothing.
"I want to do something fun."
"Find Estel."
"He's reading."
"Find Elrohir."
"He's busy."
"So am I."
"I want to go outside."
"Eleniel."
"Please?"
"That's it," Elladan growled, turning and grabbing his sister's arms. He wrenched her forward onto his lap and held her in place, glaring down into her laughing blue eyes. "I warned you that if you said that irritating word one more time, there would be trouble."
"What word? Please?"
The ellon's eyes narrowed.
"Please, please, please, please, pleeeaaase, please, please! NONONO! PLEASE!"
Elladan had given up and was now mercilessly tickling his sister, a positively evil grin now on his face.
"What? This is fun, right?"
"That's not what I- I MEANT!"
"There's just no pleasing you, is there?"
