Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

130. Protective Egalmoth Headcanons

- A protective Egalmoth is a rare sight but a necessary one should the case ever arise.

- If the protection needed is in a social setting due to someone being spiteful towards you or gossiping Egalmoth is certainly the first one to hear of it.

- Even before you know anything ill was ever spoken of you

- Egalmoth- beneath all those layers of propriety- has intense sass, so if he hears it first hand from them he'll hurt their pride tremendously.

- He's definitely one to use position and yours to remind that person where their place is.

- If it's from another house and he hears it second hand, he will first bring it to another Lords attention before handling it.

- That or he will discuss with the Lord on perhaps dishing out a punishment for such a thing, especially if the gossip has been extremely damaging to you.

- When it comes to the matter of your physical safety Egalmoth becomes very intense, in a matter of seconds

- From one of ease and relaxation to instant aggression

- He will pull you behind him protectively, ready to strike when necessary.

- Violence is an absolute last resort, so if it can be handled with guards dragging the miserable soul away then he will see it done.

- If guards cannot reach the two of you in time then Egalmoth will do everything in his power to stop them. Even if it means only subduing them.

- He doesn't believe in exposing you to any violence and tries to keep it as minimal as possible.

- Egalmoth will also have you removed from the situation if he feels like at any minute a fight might break out.

- He is hyper aware that you are much smaller than the rest of the elven men around you and how that might be terrifying for you.

- Your time in Gondolin should be blissful not traumatizing, even if it seems as simple as fight.
