sorry Nonnie, I know this is a cute headcanon and all – but my personal feelings are that the Sansukh kids and Thranduil just don’t… quite click, for some reason. He wouldn’t be able to unbend or relax enough to be natural with them, and kids are astonishingly amazing at sensing that sort of thing. He’s also new, and if you know toddlers, then you know it generally takes a gooooood long while for them to warm up to strange new folks. Frankly, I 100% doubt Frerin would ever kiss him.
But that’s okay! Laerophen will pick up the slack, ofc, and he’ll be well-meaning and awkward and real, and they will run riot and fight and get into trouble and get their way and basically walk all over him and he will enjoy every second of it.
(yanno the Sansukh character who is THE championest champion of pebble-wrangling, the winner of the “good with kids forever” title? Baris 😉
