That you will eat at twice a day, and bathe once every two days, and lay in bed, if not sleep, for at least six hours a night until I come back to Skyhold.
Tell me what I need do in return.

( you're not her real dad, thranduil. )
I've been eating. And bathing.
( probably less than twice a day.
probably not irrelevant she doesn't immediately dispute that she's been sleeping, either. probably he can envision the mutinous expression she's wearing without any help. )
Bring me back something from Halamshiral. I'll lie down.

Thank you, my lady. Your heart is full of endless compassion for an old elf who wishes only for a kind ear to hear his stories.
[ that's true he's much hotter than papa gwen. ]
I will bring back two for you.

[ all the way in orlais, he's pleased, also sinking into bed, pulling the covers up. ]
That is a very intimate gift. You are willing to receive that from me?

[ what's that.
now he has to go.
can he even get in, as an elf?
but back to hair: ]
Have you seen anyone touch my hair, in all the time I have been here? Galadriel's?
[ given how everyone in skyhold still has two whole hands, no. ]
Such a thing is a privilege reserved for family, lovers, companions in battle.

You haven't seen anyone touch my hair, either, that doesn't make hair ribbons racy. Guenievre combs my hair because my father pays her to do it.
( which neatly sidesteps the fact that guenievre is also. family. )
People I like much less than you have given me hair combs I wear.

[ gently, gently. ]
It means something to my people, Gwenaëlle. I cannot dismiss so quickly that which I have known all my life, nor do I care to.

You promise me that hair ribbons are not racy, yes?
If I buy you ribbons, will I offend your father or ruin your chances for a good match?
[ let's make it simple. ]
[ let's make it simple. ]
And how many of them are legitimate, and not simply because I am Quendi?

He is jealous? Why? You are his daughter, it makes only sense that you should one day leave his house to build your own. Is it the custom to cloister daughters so unbreathable close?
[ he's already thinking of what ribbons would suit her best. he's not afraid of the spectre of her father, a man more poet than warrior. ]

I did not mark you as ignorant of what happens around you.
Should I expect trouble from your father?
