Too Good to Share

Elrohir’s attention drifted from the book he was reading as the door into Elladan’s room crashed open. He smiled and listened with great interest as his brother kicked the door closed again, muttering and cursing; words that would make an orc blush. Drawers were pulled open, cupboards slammed, and a pile of papers cascaded onto the floor. There was a metallic clang as a wine goblet was hurled against the door in frustration.

He had a fair idea of what Elladan was searching for and shifted his position in the chair slightly, propping his feet on a low stool by the fire. He waited.

Finally footsteps crossed the floor and his own door was flung open. Elrohir looked up with his most innocent expression, one eyebrow arched in silent query. Elladan merely snarled at him in reply, swept the room with a scalding glare, then turned on his heel and stormed out again.

The door swung slowly closed behind him. As the latch clicked, Elrohir retrieved the bottle of Dorwinion from its hiding place and poured the last of the wine into his cup.

He supposed he should feel guilty, but Thranduil’s gift was far too good to share.
