Careful there, brother. I may get used to being spoilt and become an absolute brat *They feel excitement well up inside. It has been so long for them for a "first". This is one. Their first orange*

*Laithrûn returns the smile Estel extends* You are such a darling to acquire them for all of us to enjoy,my dear friend *It is good Estel told them the orange peel is not to be eaten, because Laithrûn was about to bite into the fruit.Instead they hand it to Adar who offers to prepare it for them*+

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

*The house and its smell of herbs and leather suits Adar perfectly. If Laithrûn had to imagine how their brother lived, they would have imagined something not unlike it. With weary bones they drop onto the couch* Where is he? My brother, I mean...

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

* It is anything but cold in Mordor that day, but it feels to them like the ice waste of Utumno* I am pretty sure, he would not mind you welcoming me as if this was your house too +

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

*Looks could be deceiving, when it comes to assume strength. Laithrûn knows this well. It had been a metal mistake for many a men* I will be fine to walk *They nod, tightening the blanket around their slender frame* +

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Those are oranges? *They step towards Estel as their friend reappears with a basket of those miraculous fruits* May I? *They take one and turn it around in their clawed fingers, before they sniff on it. The smell seems promising*

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

*After promising to wake then all up for a moonlight swim, they listen to the chatter about gathering and growing food with a smile. A hunter and gatherer, they had been themselves, though their people would only take as much as needed, never more than that* +

131

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It must have been on your mind, Adar. And no matter how much I think on it, I do not believe I could come up with a satisfying answer Perhaps the uruks need some type of loremaster themselves *they wonder out loud*

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I would loathe to think the one language Mairon invented because he could not be asked to learn the urukish dialects is the one to represent...our... *and they say this very carefully. Is it fine to count themselves as a part? * ...people. +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

*They both know that Laithrûn, while being a Moriondo, is still mostly an outsider when it comes to uruk culture. Always they have been kept far away from them, separated and isolated* What is the language of the uruk though? It is not Black Speech... +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

*At the recited words, a growl escapes Laithrûn. Anger flares up in their chest* Whoever said this, better not repeats those words in front of me Mine? *The suggestion surprises them* +

*Their world was marred. And being the creature they are, it is impossible to forget*

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

And people rarely do *Laithrûn notes, smiling as well* I do not mind discussing the theoretical depending on the subject. Maybe discussing how Eä could be different without the discord during its creation is one step too far though +

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

*In the end, they extend their hand to the one offered. Truth be told, Laithrûn did not trust those long legs of theirs to not buckle once they reached the ground*

120

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

*They drifted off for a moment and need to get their bearing when Elrond gently calls for their attention. The look on the heralds face shows honest worry* You Lindon Elves... ever so courteous +

120

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

*Somehow Laithrûn expected Elrond to also mount the mare, rather than guiding her on foot. They have to wonder if the Half-Elf gave them space or if he is not comfortable so close to them* Mmmh? +

120

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

*With an extended hand they tuck a loose stand of dark hair behind Adar's ear* It is...love...feelings...I seem to not be able to grasp anymore. The worst about it is that I can almost reach an understanding but then it vanishes like a word that is stuck at the tip of your tongue.

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

*They say it matter of fact. What use is it to ask an Elf, a human or even one of Adar's children? Then a smile appears on their black lips* Oh pleasure I know very well.I would be happy to share that knowledge with you. I promise not to embarrass you or make you uncomfortable beyond some blushes+

100

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

*For a moment, Laithrûn remains silent. There is a thought forming in their mind. A truth that cannot be denied any longer* You are the only one who is like me. Asking anyone else is moot. I suppose whatever we experience is "normal" for the beings we are +

100

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

*The fact that Elrond wants to take care of them is touching, and they appreciate it* Thank you...*they mutter just before they collapse onto Falwyn's back*

120

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I will manage...I hope your mare likes me enough by now to not throw me off *They attempt themselves at a joke. How they wished for two strong arms to envelop them at this moment and not let go. But a king is ever busy, and Laithrûn understands...nor would they expect. It just would be...nice* +

120

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Actually, I do not think I have *Laithrûn did not mean to intrude knwlowing full well Adar "hosts" Elrond at his house. Perhaps his brother should just call it what it is though: he lived there with Elrond* +

120

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Perhaps, one day you can talk about it with Elrond and he can help you to put it in words on paper. He is talented with the quill, or so I have heard...

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

As long as we are alive, brother, neither they nor their names are ever forgotten. This I will promise you. *Rhavaniel...the name springs from their mind as the first time they ever heard it. Her hair had been shiny like the silver even in the darkness of Utumno* +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

*And it bothers Laithrûn that sometimes they also think of themselves as something less and less deserving. Adar did such an enormous job with the young ones who are around now. The ones who dare to claim ownership of these lands. Not for a master, but for themselves* +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

*They can feel the wetness of Adar's tears soaking through their hair onto their skin. There is a lot of sadness buried deep. Laithrûn hopes some of it can be released at last* They do not want to see us and the uruk in such a way. It is easier to eradicate monsters than children +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

*They get up very slowly, swaying a bit while stepping towards Elrond. They do not like to be seen in such a weak state. It takes a lot of debate in their own head to calm the voices who scream of the danger. Elrond surely does not aim to hurt them...and if so they reckon they could still take him*

120

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I am...*Fine, they are about to say, though they are anything but. Laithrûn had to always take care of themselves in Utumno and Angband, someone offering support seems so foreign. They wonder, however, could Elrond help them?* Adar's house sounds good +

120

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Ohhh hello there...*they lift their head and open their eyes to look at the approaching herald* I wanted to get some fresh air, but the world has decided to spin around me *Their face is flushed grey, but not due to any embarrassment*

120

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I am fine. Just a bit short of breath *They feel horrible in truth, but they always dealt with being sick themselves*

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Adar...I know what attraction feels like...I think *now they are not so sure anymore. Clearly, they also have a warped way to think about relationships and intimacy. It is not just Adar*

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

What I meant is.. I was worried I was broken to not get aroused in the a way that a gaze is enough to make me hard. I may have forgotten what is normal in this regard *and truly some people they have been with did not care about their arousal whatsoever* +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I was not worried about your gauntlet *There is amusement in Laithrûn's voice* I would not think you ever hurt me unless I deserve it +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

*Walks around, wrapped in a blanket and wheezing until they run out of steam and have to sit down. Why do they have to feel so crummy? Everything turns around them as they cough and test their head against a tree*

283

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

*Laithrûn's mind goes back to the mother of his offspring. They did not live...still had they not been their children?*

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

It is okay...you can cry *Laithrûn whispers softly as he hears the slightest change in Adar's breathing. Perhaps it would do their brother good, if he could shed tears. The red haired uruk would just keep holding him as long as needed* +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

If the world denies you a place in it, then it is your good right to claim it, brother. As you say, there was no other choice *As if they had not been hunted like vermin. Why should they not claim some of Arda for themselves? Where they not living beings?* +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I suppose you have had several moments recently that left quite the impression on you *Laithrûn thinks back to everything Adar has told them. Being healed by the ring, almost dying, but also falling in love* +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

*...just outside in the open as they had done the night before. The night Laithrûn did not close their eyes once*

140

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

*Just as their known Elven name though, it was forgotten and vanished to the ages* The pool looks like a perfect spot for a moonlight swim *The Moriondo looks impressed. The cave also seemed a much safer space to shelter during the night than ...* +

140

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I would say most of the time these names stayed private *Laithrûn adds to Adar's reply. They certainly had called their lovers by different names depending if they were in public or shared a private moment. And they also had had another name* +

130

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

...which makes it harder to distinguish reality and the horrors or mind make up. Especially if reality trumps those made up scenarios You can always ask me anything and I may always opt to answer or not. But I will not curse you merely because you possess a curious mind.

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

*Again Laithrûn takes some time, before addressing Elrond* You know, pain reshapes the way your memory works. Even for those born as Elves. And truth be told, we likely spent many a night drenched in sweat having fever dreams,...+

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

It seems to be the way of things. Those of us in unique situations wished it were not so, whereas others long to be unique. *Laithrûn notes with a sigh, before they share a smile with Elrond* I am not surprised you would say that. +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Speaking of names, is it still a costum between Elves to give their lovers names? *Laithrûn asks this casually, but secretly it is of high interest to them*

150

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

What all of you are saying is that I should not stress the naming process and that the name will come to me at some point... *Laithrûn rubs their chin, contemplating all the advice, before they nod* But I shall not take 12 years +

140

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

*After a little pause, they add* Recently, I have this weird...flutter in my stomach and I can feel my heart beating all the way in my neck, whenever I just get a whiff of that pine and leather scent ...I do not know what to make of that

120

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

*As if there was any doubt that something in them was in fact NOT broken* I am happy for you that Elrond can elicite such a response in you. You must really feel safe with him +

110

Laithrûn @laithrun.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

*Laithrûn nods slowly. They understand Adar's need to be able to defend himself. His way is the gauntlet, Laithrûn's way are teeth so sharp they can crack bones* For a second there you had me worried I might be...broken *They chuckle, but it is a slightly nervous laughter* +
