Chapter 1 - Arwen's Gift

"Ada, Ada," Arwen called as she rushed into Elrond's office, something clutched carefully behind her back. Elrond raised an eyebrow, taking in his daughter's muddy clothing.

"What is it, sweetling," he asked.

"I have a present for you Ada," she said, grinning happily as she pulled an astonished frog from behind her back, plopping it down in the middle of Elrond's desk. Smiling weakly as he looked at the now muddy papers the frog sat upon, Elrond hugged his daghter.

"Thank you, Arwen. It's....lovely." Arwen hugged him back before running out into the garden.

"I knew you'd like it!"


Chapter 2 - The Reaction

Elrond sighed as his daughter scampered out of his office, leaving her latest "present" on his desk. In the middle of a very important report from King Thranduil. The gift blinked at him owlishly before emitting a loud "Rrrrrrbit" and jumping off the desk, and hopping out into the garden beyond the terrace door. Looking at his mud splattered report, Elrond sighed, smiling ruefully. Sometimes, as much as he loved her, he wished Arwen was a little less of a tomboy. Gathering a cloth, he carefully wiped the mud away, thinking of Arwen's grin as she gave him the frog.
