“I thought you said you weren’t a child anymore?” Celegorm cocked his head, playful smile on his face. “Because dear sister, I can assure you, adults don’t cry.”

He grabbed a cloth and slowly began to soak it in the water basin and then wringing it out. “It will hurt less once I’ve cleaned the dirt out of it.”

Laurelin wiped away her tears quickly, sniffling and holding back anymore that threatened to fall. Adults don't cry.

But when Tyelko began to wring out the cloth, she could not stop tears from beginning to roll down her face again. Her wounds burned so terribly already, she didn't want it to get any worse.

"Don't touch it!" She cried, shielding her wounds from him. "It's gonna hurt."

“I’m not tired,” the young elfling yawned. She clung to her older brother tightly, tears threatening to spill from tired eyes. The nightmare - vision, as she would realize when she was older - had terrified her, causing her to wake screaming and running to the first parent or older brother she could find.

“Please don’t make me go to sleep, Tyelko,” she whimpered, her voice soft and afraid.

"I'm not a child anymore, Tyelko!" Laurelin snapped back, pushing herself to her feet and immediately hissing in pain. But she was still a child and, despite her determination to be just as strong and tough as her brothers, she could not help the tears that rolled down her cheeks from the stinging of her wounds.

Blood coated her shins, knees, and elbows - injuries won from her fall from a tree that was far too high for her to be climbing. Laurelin sniffled and her lower lip quivered as she looked up at her older brother.

"It hurts."
