This might once again be me being too lazy to read the Elf Anti-KamaSutra LaCE but can someone inform me what the deal is with Peredhel and mild human illnesses?

Asking because my most enduring Elrond headcanon is that he is fucking awful to be around in winter. Guy will heal a village full of literal plague victims with no concept of handwashing and not catch a thing, but a winter cold? Knocks him the fuck out.

Nothing too serious, always just a mildly pathetic head cold. Celebrían, raised by ‘I eat mortal weakness for breakfast’ Galadriel and ‘someone in my family tree has probably fucked an Ent’ Celeborn has no fucking concept of elves catching colds, and is at first terrified, convinced she’ll be widowed in her first year of marriage.

Also, every elf in Rivendell and beyond is just grossed the fuck out by it. Blood, sweat, tears and shite? No problem! Snotty half-elf sniffing away next to you at breakfast? Basically a walking, talking memento mori. Freaks them all out completely. Everyone gives Celebrían earplugs for Christmas.
