N-Like Nimble Nimrodel

A Playful Puppy

The characters are the property of the Tolkien Estate. With thanks to Raksha.

Aragorn smiled indulgently while Eldarion raced around the garden with his new puppy, a birthday gift from Faramir and Éowyn.

Eldarion threw a stick, which the pup swiftly retrieved, no matter in which direction the boy threw it. Gracefully, she leapt and chased and dived, always one step ahead of the young prince.

“The Nimrodel herself could hardly be more nimble,” Arwen observed, joining her husband on the bench. “Have you chosen a name for her yet, Eldarion? “ she called.

“Nimrodel is pretty, I will call her that,” he replied.

The pup wagged her tail as if in approval.
