Punishment

Elrond carefully carried Rumil to the healing wing where he laid him upon the bed. Elrond gathered his things and he began to clean and dress the slight gash on Rumil’s head. There nothnothing he could do for the concussion except let Rumil sleep so his body could heal itself. He found Galadriel, Celeborn, Celebrian and the kids in the study. The elflings sat in front of the adults with their heads bowed, shameful looks on their faces. Elrond sat next to his wife and mother in law. Celeborn looked sternly at the elflings before he spoke.

“I want to know exactly what happened and why.” He said somewhat angrily.

Legolas looked at Elrohir and glared. “He started it by calling Rumil a baby! All he wanted was something to eat.”

“Yes but you hit him!” Elladan yelled at Legolas.

“And you hit me!” Legolas said indignantly.

“And I would have again if Rumil hadn’t bit me.” snapped Elladan.

“And you threw him against the wall!” Legolas charged angrily.

“Not on purpose! It was an accident!” Elladan looked down in shame.

Galadriel held her hands up for silence and the elflings feel silent.

“That explains how Rumil got hurt. But why were you out on the outskirts in the old talan?” Galadriel asked confused.

“Making a clubhouse.” Haldir muttered.

“A clubhouse? Oh Elladan was this your idea?” Celebrian sighed.

Elladan nodded not looking at his mother. “And Elrohir’s as well.”

Celeborn and Galadriel looked at their daughter wondering what was wrong. Celebrian saw their looks and sighed again.

“They wanted a clubhouse in a tree in Imladris we said n and gave them an empty room to use. Obviously they still want one and brought the idea up to the others.” Celebrian explained.

The adults looked at each other and came to a silent agreement.

“The five of you will go take a nap in the nursery. In an hour we will wake you and tell you your punishment. It is obvious that Haldir and Orophin were not involved in the fight so they are excused from punishment. Legolas however noble your intentions were you should never hit. And you two I have told you both dozens of times about fighting and name calling.” Elrond told them sternly.

The elflings nodded and stood and silently left the room and went to the nursery. They did not say a word as they lay down and drifted off.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

An hour later they stood before Elrond and Celeborn listening to their punishment. Haldir, Orophin, Galadriel, and Celebrian were swimming.

“Elladan and Elrohir will help the cooks clean up after the feast tonight. Legolas you shall weed the gardens now.” Celeborn said. “In the mean time Elladan and Elrohir you will go with your father and study about the last alliance.”

All three boys groaned and rolled their eyes. Legolas knew weeding would take at least three hours. Elladan and Elrohir knew this lesson would be long and boring. They went silently to their fates.

TBC.
