Another Name for The Sickle

I'm not sure I have written this down anywhere before, but I think in Himring 'verse Erestor might once have been an inhabitant of Nargothrond. At any rate, the background of this ficlet places him in the Havens of Sirion.

Thank you very much! 

I think for scribes who did it as their main task, copying could be quite hard work. (You get complaints from medieval scribes, occasionally.) But for Erestor, it is a break from various administrational tasks and he is able to take his time about it, so he finds it relaxing.

Oh, I very much relate to this;  I find doing my accounts very relaxing, because it's nothing like what I usually do.

when Erestor needed a day of mental recovery, he cancelled all appointments and other commitments and spent the day copying a manuscript himself

this honestly sounds like a delightful day.  loved this story!! thank you for sharing <333
