Rating: PG

Author's Notes: Takes place in Emma’s and my “Thrani-verse” (Our Oropher has dark hair and green eyes; Thranduil, his mother’s blonde hair and blue eyes) It's a sequel to my last challenge story.
Summary: The Tithen Aran arrives home and considers his father.
Word Count: 100 without header


“How like your father you are.”
Thranduil had never understood those words. He certainly didn’t look like Oropher; a fact remarked on by the Noldor often during his youth in Lindon. When he was grown, he understood better. Strong and stubborn, he was his father’s son in attitude; taking on any burden, any challenge, even when it seemed insurmountable. On the edge of Greenwood, the Tithen Aran paused to look back at the dregs of an army, the remnants of a people. His people, however ill-fitting the title of leader, of king, seemed to be.
Oropher, too, had done that.

Welcome back. There's no bed like your own, is there? Sleep well, hon.

I swear I'm going to start taking the airbed with me when I go on car trips. I can always make it the right degree of softness for me in spite of the hotels. *blows raspberry at mattress manufacturers*

Sleep well tonight!

I'm glad you had a nice time. No bed is better than your own though, I feel that most beds are too hard actually, especially in hotels and such.

Maybe it helps to take a warm bath?

I know it's silly, but I'm still amazed by distances people can travel and still be in the same country, LOL. It would only take 3 hours or so to reach the north of our country and if I were to drive south I would be well into France after 5 hours *snort*
