#so glad to have finished this one!!

[runawaymun]

Finally finished this little illustration, and just in time for @tolkiengenweek! So here is Elrond teaching Thalionel to ride the sassy little pony he picked out, from Beneath a Boundless Sky, chapter 12.

This fulfills day one and day two, for the prompts "family" and "animals".

Excerpt under the cut!

The pony was called Trastadweg. When Lord Elrond gave him a hand up into the saddle, Thalionel worked up the courage to ask him why he thought it was so funny.  Lord Elrond just patted Trastadweg’s neck and answered: “Because he’s been causing trouble since the day he was born. Difficult birth, this one. He was the wrong way around and I had to pull him out by his feet.”  “Oh.”  “But he is a good choice, don’t fret,” Lord Elrond was quick to reassure. “He has a strong will and he’s very clever, so I think the two of you will get along splendidly. Now, hold the reins, but keep them a little slack. Good. And grip his body between your knees as hard as you can. Good—“  They started in circles in the paddock, but even that was scary enough. Thalionel felt so high up off the ground, and Trastadweg wasn’t even as tall as a regular horse. It was different when he sat with Elladan on Ranor. Elladan always held onto him to make sure he wouldn’t fall off.  But, just like that night carving by the campfire, Thalionel was surprised to find that he wasn’t having a bad time. It was fun: going so fast, being high up, having the wind rush in his hair, feeling Trastadweg’s gait under him. Thalionel found himself smiling despite his best efforts, if only for how his heart raced, and how good it felt— the flutter in his stomach. Not the bad kind, but the kind he got during that summer when he and the other boys had found a good ledge to jump off of into a deep pool. The thrill of the drop. The way it turned your body warm and your eyesight sharp and clear. He and Hallr had laughed that day until their stomachs hurt.  Lord Elrond didn’t try to bait him into conversation. He only talked about Trastadweg and riding and reminded Thalionel to keep his back straight. And every time Thalionel felt like he was losing his balance, Lord Elrond would say something to Trastadweg in Sindarin and Trastadweg would slow down, and then there was a firm hand on his back to steady him, a gentle adjustment to his grip on the reins or his place in the saddle, but no reprimand. Lord Elrond never seemed to run out of patience – no matter how many times Thalionel needed help.

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

Harvey telling the farmer it's their time for the annual check up before knowing them for a year is always funny to me. But the fact I keep drawing Asmodeus♡ with a big mouth and fangs made me read the dialogue more like "that's scary, please stop" rather than "okay onto the next part".

Anyway, I have never drawn Harvey before so please enjoy my attempt. (gives him a lil gray. as a treat. to me. the gray is for me.)
