His ears perked up when the pitter patter of little feet echoed inside the library followed by little chuckles of glee. Gareth put down his quil, folded up his parchment and turned to where the sounds were coming from. When he got up from the chair, more giggles filled the room that tugged the elven king's lips into a smile.
"Oh I wonder where Eira could be?" Gareth spoke out loud as he approached the curtains where small bare feet where sticking out. "Goodness, my daughter has become so good at playing hide and seek now hasn't she?"
Eira giggled again from her hiding spot and Gareth's smile turned into chuckles as he moved closer to the curtains. "Gotcha!" He reached to grab his daughter but to his surprise all he held was curtains. Feeling confused, Gareth checked behind the curtains a second time, he could have sworn his little girl was hiding there just a moment ago.
"Boo!"
