Losdelieth

Daughter of Irisse.

[edgeofthorns]

(@huiliel) Delie was not sure barely a few summers old now if her gift was any good but all the same she brought her brother a few shiny pebbles and a snail which she left on his workspace.

@huiliel

Lomion smiles, knowing exactly who the gifts are from. He polishes the stones and sets them in a bracelet fashioned of thin silver wire, which he presents to her in a few days when he is finished.

Later the same afternoon that she left the gifts, he takes Delie to build a little home for the snail to live in next to the pond near the house.

[huiliel]

Delie squatted down next to her big brother, walking in a little shuffling manner as they build the snail a home and spoke, “Ada did not like the froggy I gave him like you like snail. But Nana said that froggy reminded her of one of her cousins,” She told him secretively and looked at him curious what he thought of the information, “Ada does not smile, not for me.”

[huiliel]

Sneaks into Nan Elmoth when no one might suspect him, and slips easily through one of the windows. Finding the one he sought, he knelt down next to her bed and reach out slowly to settle the soft plushie next to her. Sleeping, his half sister was as lovely as he had dreamt she would be. Tiny and fragile looking, she was precious beyond words.

"Be well sweet sister."

Delie's small hand seemed to find as if seeking the soft plush in her sleep. She shifted, arm going around it and almost as if unsure if she would be pushed away she tentatively hugged it in her sleep. A smile curled the ends of her usually down turned lips and she slept on.

[nolyafinwe]

Nolya smiled in answer to Delie’s smile, warmed to his core by the simply pleasure he could see on her face.  Reaching around, he pulled out the matching blanket out of his pack and settled it over her.

“You are simply precious my little love.” he whispered.  

@huiliel​ 

[huiliel]

As the blanket went over her, green eyes opened, one moment deep in sleep and the next completely focused on him. She looked at him confused for a moment not recognizing the other then looking at his hair and face, “Are you the Sun?” She finally asked.

[nolyafinwe]

Nolya flinched back just a bit as she looked at him, startled to have awoken her.  “I am not the sun, such as in the light in the sky, no.  But if you are asking if I am the son of Aredhel and Maedhros, then yes, I am their son.”

He smiled warmly then, offering her a kind of bow from his knelt position,  “I am Noyafinwe, and I am your half brother.”

[huiliel]

She looked at him for a moment before smiling and cuddling her new stuffed toy, she never had anything like it before and then looked at him once more, “The Moon is in the next room, you should see him, you should save him,” Her words might be riddles to him, but she thought perhaps the Sun would know her.

[nolyafinwe]

The Moon?  

“Oh, you mean Lomion is in the next room?”  He smiled at her, already happy to see how much she was enjoying her little stuffy.  “I did bring him a gift as well.  I heard he liked moles, and so I brought him a little stuffed mole toy.”

He sat down on the floor, watching her for a moment, “I’m not supposed to be here.  Your adar would be angry.  Still, I have waited many a long year to see and meet you and your brothers.  I’ve missed having Naneth and my siblings around.”

[huiliel]

She sat up, cuddling her toy still so close she had not a chance to examine it yet and see its shape. Her eyes were focused and just wanted to know more, “Have you come to take us to the Dragon?” She had seen his father in her visions, beautiful and terrible and when he charged in battle he was a monster like the dragons far north.

[edgeofthorns]

Delie say down next to her big brother, she curled to seem ever smaller before smiling and giving him a bit of briar with a small rose on it.

@huiliel The sharpness in Lomion's features - common when he was mired deep in his own thoughts - eased. How did Delie always know when he needed to be nudged back to reality?

"What a lovely gift," he said, holding the rose carefully so as to avoid the tiny thorns. He smiled. "Thank you."

[edgeofthorns]

Delie smiled, her visions allowed for her to see through the tricks of the wood and she looked around again to show she had more secrets to share, “I can show you the way, if you dont tell?”

It could be dangerous - with him along, it might be more difficult for Delie to outwit their father’s enchantments. Or worse, Adar might be more likely to notice if two of his children journeyed to the edge of the woods. If they were caught, Lomion assured himself that he would take all responsibility.  However, a glimpse of sunlight and green fields was the most rare and wonderful of all opportunities - when he left with Eol on their travels, they always departed at night. To share such an experience as seeing the Outside with Delie was even rarer. How could he pass it up?  “You know I will not,” Lomion said solemnly, and then allowed himself another smile. “Lead the way.” 

[huiliel]

She smiled and nodded, moving to go and stand again. She knew his fears but also knew that for now their Adar was distracted with their mother and would be so for a time. She led him, oddly quickly and with little effort through the woods, it seemed so much smaller when the forest was not detouring them about. As they reached the edge some sun could be seen, the beginnings of flowers in a field and she held him for a moment as two horses with riders passed before stepping into the sun.

[edgeofthorns]

At the sight of the riders, Lomion fought the urge to sink back into the forest and to pull Delie after him. Though he was sure the elves who lived outside Nan Elmoth were nowhere near as awful as Eol said, bringing potential intruders to the forest would ruin this outing as surely as a sudden thunderstorm.  But as Delie stepped into the sun, Lomion followed, raising a hand to shade his eyes from its bright rays, so as not to be blinded by them, but luxuriating in the warmth. He surprised himself by letting out a contented sigh, and then laughed.  “Your ability to navigate the forest never ceases to amaze me,” Lomion said, still whispering even though it seemed the riders were no longer in earshot.

[huiliel]

Delie was watching after the ideas, one dark haired and the other, who glanced back but seemed to ignore them as well with silver hair. She looked then to her brother and smiled, “When I can see visions all the time and know through them it is easy to see past the mischief of the wood,” She said. She looked up where the sun was as well and her hair caught it, showing to be dark brown and not the black that the forest often made it, “Nana is right, it is nice out here, I wish one day we could all come out here for the flowers as a family.”

[huiliel]

She looked around as if someone might be listening before looking to her brother once more, “I found it outside,” She told him, admitting she had gone beyond where their father said and dared to step outside Nan Elmoth.

[edgeofthorns]

Lomion’s eyes widened. He knew Delie was clever, and often wandered the forest by herself despite how young she still was, but she had gone Outside? And without Adar knowing? He didn’t know whether to be terrified or impressed.  “Then I shall treasure it all the more,” he said.

-is casually wandering Eöl's Wood, unaware of being watched-

Delie is moving over the trees trying to determine who this elf is before deciding they need to speak. Without warning a net of vines falls over Beleg's head.

huiliel​:

Delie looked at him confused and then lifted off the net, wrapping it up to put back in her bag, “Why is a big elf in Adar’s forest?”

“Eöl is your Adar?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. He had not heard of Eöl having a daughter... “He is a friend of mine.”

[huiliel]

She looked like she was not sure she believed him before nodding a bit, giving in, “You are too tall for dwarf, so you must be elf, like me, I will show you the way,” She said and gestured as she started to skip off.

Beleg grasped at the vines, trying to tear himself free. As he did, he lookrd up, and he could have sworn he caught a glimpse of eyes in the trees.

[huiliel]

She watched a moment more before starting to crawl down the tree to his side, upside down a bit like an insect before moving closer, “Oh... you don’t feel bad.”

[thegreatstrongbow]

Trapped, he stared at her. “What the...” He continued to tug at the vines. “Is there a reason there is a little elf out here casting nets?”

[huiliel]

Delie looked at him confused and then lifted off the net, wrapping it up to put back in her bag, “Why is a big elf in Adar’s forest?”

Something fluffy featuring Delie for @thefatedfinwe who asked for a moment with Turu and his niece.

-

Turucano knelt in the small herb garden he kept near his Tower. He checked some herbs noting that they needed more water so they'd grow larger. They weren't too critical but they were important enough he wanted to have more than he'd get grown so far.

"Why are you playing in the dirt?"

Turucano paused and looked up to see his niece standing on the path nearby. Then he looked at his hands and noticed all the dirt covering him. Chuckling he gestured for her to join him.

"Come here Delie. I can show you what I'm doing if you'd like."

"You'll teach me the game you're playing?"

"It isn't a game, it's... something that helps me relax, and if you want to learn I will teach you how to do it too."

"Okay."

Delie walked along the small dirt trail to join him and Turucano smiled warmly at her. Turning back to the plant he gently cupped his hand under one drooping stalk and lifted it up a little.

"See how this plant is acting all droopy? That means it either needs more water or less. Now I've taken care of plants like this one since I was about your age, and I know it needs more water. Another way to tell is to feel the dirt around it."

He lowered his hand to the ground and dug a little before scooping up a little of it and he gestured for her to hold out her hand. When she did he carefully poured some of the dirt into her hand.

"Notice how dry it feels?"

"But don't plants like the dirt to be dry?"

"Sometimes, but sometimes they like to be wet or to get really wet. They are kind of like people. Some are like Galdor, they don't like being wet more than they have to. Others are like Ecthelion, they love being wet and having lots of water."

Delie nodded and looked at the other plants. Turucano smiled seeing it and remembering how Idril had looked around like that too, noticing how some seemed droopy while others were all perked up and happy.

"What about that one?"

Delie pointed to another plant that was droopy. Turucano looked and chuckled standing and moving to it after gesturing for her to follow him. Once he reached the plant he knelt again and gently cupped a hand under one of the leaves.

"It looks sad, doesn't it?"

"It does."

"It grows like this, always seeming sad and droopy. It makes it hard to tell if it has enough water or not, but if you look at the leaves as I lift them," he raised his hand a little and the leaves stayed firmly curled as they had been but moved with his hand, "they stay firm unlike the other plan where the leaves clung to my hand. That means that it is getting enough water."

"So it's like Lomion? Always sad and upset but okay anyways?"

"Yes, it's like your brother, but that doesn't mean that it gets ignored. Sometimes we just have to wait for it to tell us what it needs."

Delie nodded, seemingly satisfied with his answer.

"Thank you for teaching me."

"It was my pleasure. If you want to learn more about these plants or any others I would be happy to teach you." Turucano stood up and grinned a bit. "Or if you would like to help me I was about to water some of the plants, and I can tell you their names while we do that."
