Anatomy
"Findis, what exactly are you doing?" Finwe asked suspiciously as his eldest daughter began wrapping brightly colored ribbon up her long, elegant legs.
"Can you not see, Atto?" she asked in irritation as she lifted her legs daintily at him, "I am preparing for the Midsummer festival."
"I know that, darling," Finwe sighed patiently, "but why are you wrapping your legs up in ribbons as if they are presents?"
"Because that is what everyone else does, Atto!"
"No, that is not the reason," Irime giggled naughtily from where she was wriggling into her dress, "the real reason is that the boys like that, and she wants to show off her lovely legs."
Finwe raised his eyebrows frighteningly at this before turning to Findis.
"Daughter, you shame me with this unacceptable behavior."
"But Atto-"
"Indis! Indis, come look at what your daughter is doing!" Finwe called to his wife while fixing Findis with a stern look.
"Yes, what is it?" she asked as she hurried in, long golden hair unbound as she was in the middle of combing it in preparation for the evening's festivities.
"Look at how your lovely maiden-daughter is preparing to conduct herself, Lalwen says she is wrapping these bright ribbons all up her legs to show them off to all the males who will be watching the ladies dancing!"
"Her legs are quite nice, and I see no harm in her showing them off to prospective husbands, she is of age, you know."
"Amme, does that mean I can do it too?" Irime asked eagerly, trying to snatch the spools of ribbon from her elder sister.
"I am afraid not, dear, you are too young, and Nolofinwe would simply not have it. Now, if you all will excuse me, my sons are having trouble with their hair and I must aid them." she nodded to them each in turn before taking up a bright spool of Findis' ribbon for herself and departing for the boys' room, leaving her husband spluttering helplessly behind her.
Atto-Dad
Amme-Mom
Lalwen-Irime
Nolofinwe-Fingolfin. Fingolfin especially loved his little sister Irime and was very protective of here, hence he would definitely not have her showing off her legs like that...
