and so nienor’s story continues! here she is with the river-woman and their daughter goldberry <3
“Welcome home, mama,” she piped up. “You’re in time for an early supper.”
Nienor laughed quietly, mindful of Tom’s work. “Not until your mother gets home. She should be back within the hour, so you shall have to settle for a merely ordinary supper.”
Goldberry tossed her head, disgruntled. “I’m hungry, though.”
“Then perhaps you should have gone and picked yourself some berries like I asked,” Nienor suggested, doffing her apron and walking over to find a seat in the second rocker. She pulled her braid over her shoulder and worked the tie out of it, running her fingers through her hair to loosen it up. “It was a lovely day out.”
“I know,” Goldberry agreed. “That’s why I spent it laying under Old Man Willow instead of working.”
from TFO.II chapter 14: “merely ordinary”
