I fear I am out of ideas at this point, so this is a conversation scene with Rumil and Brethiel...
CHAPTER 13
Rumil paced the room.
" Brethiel, you promised. You swore an oath to me that you would leave my brother alone."
Brethiel glared at Rumil.
" You promised me you would tell Celeborn you saw Haldir rape me."
Rumil shook his head.
" I could not lie to Lord Celeborn."
Brethiel shrugged.
" Then I could not keep my promise to you to leave your brother alone."
Rumil stopped pacing and sat beside Brethiel.
" You do know that whenever you hurt Haldir, you hurt me."
Brethiel turned to face Rumil. He stroked Rumil's face.
" I do not mean to be a bad elf." Brethiel whispered.
Rumil pulled Brethiel closer to him and caressed his cheek.
" Then why are you?" Rumil whispered back.
Brethiel lowered his head.
" My father was a bad elf. He taught be to be as well."
Rumil shook his head.
" You are nothing like him. I have heard the stories."
Brethiel lowered his hand from Rumil's face.
" I raped your brother, Rumil. I am just like him."
Rumil watched as Brethiel stood.
" You are not."
Brethiel turned to face Rumil once again.
" How do you know?"
Rumil smiled.
" With me, you are kind hearted. You show love and emotion. It is only when you are around other elves and feel the need to protect yourself that you become angry and sometimes violent."
Brethiel sighed.
" Sometimes? Rumil, I raped Haldir for saying no to me."
Rumil thought for a moment, then stood and took Brethiel's hand.
" I have said no to you, yet you have not hurt me. Why is that?"
Brethiel lowered his head.
" Because Haldir was the first to ever say no."
