EVERYONE HAS TO START SOMEWHERE

Estel circled again, looking for something, anything, to indicate the direction his foster brother had taken. Elladan leaned against a nearby tree trunk, ankles crossed, arms folded across his chest and a smug grin upon his face.

Grimacing, Estel bent again. He had been doing well, but Elrohir's spoor seemed to just disappear. Straightening, he sent a pleading glance to his older brother, then yelped as an acorn landed squarely upon his head. Looking up he spied Elrohir, grinning from the branches of an oak.

“Expect the unnexpected, little brother.”

Estel lept and the forest rang with their laughter.

Squee!!! Love this! I can totally see Elrohir's cheeky grin!!

[elwendell]

I imagine they enjoyed teaching the boy.

[senalishia]

So cute!

[elwendell]

I imagine he was. :)

[zdenka]

Aw, this is very cute!

[elwendell]

Thanks. Lessons are always better with laughter.

[kayleearafinwiel]

Haha! Expect the unexpected, indeed! I'm sure Estel, even once he's properly Aragorn again, will heed those words from now on!

[elwendell]

I imagine his foster family trained him well.

[mybluerose]

cute and funny!

[erulissedances]

He'll never again forget to look up. What a nice reminder that we all exist in three dimensions - LOL. I liked the obvious love that was there, too.

Thanks. I imagine it's an important lesson when tracking elves.

[elleth]

Ah, adorable! :D

[elwendell]

Who wouldn't want to be taught to track by a pair of elves? :D
