More of a Diplomatic incident please?

“No!” he cried, “How terrible! Who is?” And then, to both of them, “We should kill them.” Actually interacting with Tar-Glóriel in an informal context somehow made Elrond understand Celebrimbor’s choices both more and less. Celebrimbor was starting to look just as alarmed as Elrond was a few minutes ago, but honestly if Elrond knew the answer he would have considered the offer. Rejected it, almost certainly, but consideration would have happened.

#gem writes #silvergifting #aran morinorea #a major diplomatic incident #elrond peredhel #changed a previously posted sentence; i think this way it's clearer that tar-gloriel is asking about elrond's Person's favorite person #he's not suggesting they kill elrond's Person #thank u for asking!!#ALSO there's several different words being used for 'we' throughout this convo #bc there's a distinction btwn dual and plural 1st person pronouns AND a distinction btwn inclusive and exclusive #'we should kill them' is using 'gwe' to mean 'everyone in the room' rather than only the speaker and the one he's addressing #... saying that does mean that i'm deciding that they're speaking sindarin but that seems like a reasonable decision #this DOESN'T have the 'gem elrond has met him before' problem because tar-gloriel is NOT acting annatar-like. annatar was a BITCH to him #in only the most innocuous-looking ways of course but still
