A scene set among elven musicians:
At a music school in Alqualonde, a teacher tries to support her student with advice.
OFC/OFC referenced or implied.
Written for Silmladylove's prompt Óre nia pete nin… ‘My heart tells me…’ (Telerin).
1. Chapter 1 by Himring
Óre nia pete nin, sang the girl. Her voice faltered, mid-note. Deeply mortified, she peered at her teacher and found her looking unsurprised.
‘You know,’ she realised, flushing.
‘I can guess,’ Solosimpe corrected her.
Her student didn’t know where to look.
‘Have you considered simply asking her?’
‘No,’ said her student, deeply shocked at the mere thought.
And maybe it only was a crush, but maybe it was more.
‘I can only teach you music, not how to live your life. But my advice would be to listen closely to what exactly it is that your heart is telling you…’
The teacher is my take on Maglor's wife.
You do not need to know this to understand the drabble.
But it may still be of interest that I have written another story in which her students reciprocate by supporting her in a difficult situation. That story is not posted on this archive, but you can find it on SWG or AO3.
