I should never like to have a twin. Aye, I should never like to have brothers or sisters, mother father forgive me! But I am your oldest born and your only born and I should like to keep it that way.

But I find it utterly delightful, Tuor, that you have two here now that share your appearance. But they are as different as night and day! They have not your heart, nor your mind, nor your spirit.

It amuses me deeply! But worry not! I know your face, and will never kiss them instead of you.

	Ai, little one, you make your father seem a monster! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, trust me. My father was the same way. He terrified every boy that tried to date either one of us. We were his little girls and no boy would ever be good enough for either of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aye, and I could see my husband being the same way about Itarillë, but surely he would never hurt anyone she loved. He would never cause her pain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, my dad never would have hurt any of them, but he had them convinced he would and that was enough. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Aye! He was! He was very frightening. Tall and dark haired, with the grey eyes of the Noldor, dressed in the white robes of the High Elves and bearing a staff. The staff of Doom. He wore a garnet crown upon his head and tied a belt of gold about his waist. He was very magnificent. Very noble. Very Noldor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And yet also your father, the gentle man who would go to the ends of Arda to assure your happiness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itarille 2013-05-05 04:37 am UTC (link)
	And assure it he did. He gave me Tuor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because he could not resist your pleading. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itarille 2013-05-05 04:51 am UTC (link)
	I did not plead! It was very dignified. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-05-05 04:52 am UTC (link)
	Oh, aye, I am certain of it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dreviltwin 2013-05-05 04:51 am UTC (link)
	He sounds like a pretty awesome guy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itarille 2013-05-05 04:53 am UTC (link)
	Aye! He is here. You might meet him. Turgon of Gondolin, they call him, High King of the Noldor. Though my uncle is here now and so my father has relinquished his crown to him instead, as he is the elder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreviltwin 2013-05-05 04:54 am UTC (link)
	So you've got pretty much the whole family here, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itarille 2013-05-05 04:56 am UTC (link)
	Aye! My grandmother Anairë arrived but days ago, and her sons Fingon and Turgon--who is my father--and my mother Elenwë, my husband Tuor and I, and our son. And several cousins! Nelyo and Aika. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just have Bridget here. Well,and now my nephews of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itarille 2013-05-05 04:59 am UTC (link)
	It is good to have them! It would be lonely without. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreviltwin 2013-05-05 05:03 am UTC (link)
	That's very true, even if the babies do keep all of us adults up most nights. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itarille 2013-05-05 05:08 am UTC (link)
	It seems half the island will experience that in due time! I do not miss it. I enjoy my sleep, and my son sleeps through the nights on his own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreviltwin 2013-05-05 05:35 am UTC (link)
	I'm one of them, honestly. About the time my nephews are to the age of sleeping through the night, my own children will be keeping me awake. (Reply to this) (Parent)
