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.

	Only those who weren't family. Mom and Dad and our brothers could always tell us apart. It was so much fun. Confused the hell out of people. One time Bridget's boyfriend kissed me thinking I was her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's a boyfriend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We humans have a courting ritual before betrothal or marriage. The men take is out to dinner or dancing or to the movies, they're called dates. And when you're just dating someone, they're called your boyfriend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh! Tuor and I danced in the fields, and in the fountains before we wed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's something along those lines, yes. But it's a long process for humans. Sometimes years before marriage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We are not so different in the regard! We courted for some 7 years before Tuor had courage to ask my father to wed me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's actually kind of adorable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itarille 2013-05-05 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Aye! He was very nervous. I am my father's only daughter, and my father a king amongst Elves and Men. And as Tuor says, my father would sooner throw a Man from a cliff than give me his hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

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

	dreviltwin 2013-05-05 04:30 am UTC (link)
	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)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-05-05 04:33 am UTC (link)
	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)

	dreviltwin 2013-05-05 04:50 am UTC (link)
	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)

	itarille 2013-05-05 04:31 am UTC (link)
	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)

	vanya_elenwe 2013-05-05 04:47 am UTC (link)
	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)

	Your father is frightening! I feared he would throw me off the cliff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itarille 2013-05-05 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Aye, he might! If he did not love you so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tuor 2013-05-05 04:27 am UTC (link)
	And I love him as much. (Reply to this) (Parent)
