Binka, I'm so glad that the prompt fired up your muses a bit! (Yes, that pun was bad. Very bad. ;) I love the contrasts here between the Sindar and the Noldor and the Sindarin realization of what they must do to live alongside their new neighbors. It makes me wonder, at what cost will they learn to make a fire? Very nice! :)

It makes me wonder, at what cost will they learn to make a fire?

Perhaps, some aspects of their tradition, some habits (I tend to believe the Sindar were kind of more unrestrained, though no one can say that the Noldor weren't passionate in what they were doing). Most likely, peace and quiet, to a certain extent.

Thank you very much for a kind comment :)
