B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number:”Feanatics!” - O64: Caranthir helped Haleth
Format: Double drabble
Genre: Drama
Rating: General
Warnings: No warnings apply
Characters: Caranthir, Haleth
Pairings: None
Summary: Caranthir tried to help Haleth, anyway
Caranthir had to have the girl pointed out to him three times before he comprehended that she was the leader he sought, for she was neither particularly tall, nor particularly brawny, nor yet among the fairest of her people.
She made no courtesy or obeisance when he was introduced to her, though he supposed she had little opportunity for education in the wild lands of the East. “Caran, like the color?” was her reply; her Sindarin was good, if heavily accented. “That should be easy to remember.”
She received his lavish gifts with more suspicion than gratitude, but he expected a better response to his offer of well-protected lands in which to rebuild their settlements.
She barely allowed him to finish speaking before informing him, “Actually, we're moving West.”
He tried to explain to her the advantages she would be passing up, without letting on how keen he was to acquire the support of a folk proven so mighty.
“I can't argue with you,” she interrupted once again. “You may press us into your service as the orcs would have, if you please. But the Haladin are not as suited as some to employment as vassals to great elf lords.”
