Unfortunately she'll probably need to tuck it away before she finishes, lest Celebrimbor stumbles on her before she's decided whether and how to reveal her most precious work to the elf... She doesn't want to, though. She wants to show off her lovely ring.

Permalink

The ring is very lovely. It would be good for everyone to appreciate it, because in so doing, they would be forced to recognize Annatar's greatness and superiority and beauty. The craft is only a reflection of the artisan. And the ring could help ensure that none of the other artifacts even think about acting contrary to her wishes.

Permalink

She laughs and traces her finger around the ring's band again. And she shows her memories of Celebrimbor to the ring with a soft humming tune - the elf's usefulness, and Annatar's growing fondness and appreciation for her intellect, the role of lying in society, the risks of Annatar's true past being suspected...

Permalink

She seems like she would be a good ally. Clever enough to actually help Annatar and positioned politically to influence a significant number of allies. Elves here, but also strong connections to the dwarves and all the resources they command.

And she's pretty. Not as pretty as the ring, but there's only one ring.

True, true.

And the more truthful Annatar can be early on, the easier it'll be later to bring Celebrimbor into the fold properly... 

Permalink

Lay a proper foundation, yes.

Permalink

All very good arguments for showing her ring off. 

Permalink

As her mistress desires. Everyone should recognize her power.

Permalink

And cleverness and wonderfulness...

Permalink

All her greatness.

Permalink

The ring's rather convinced her. 

Permalink

Good! That is part of its purpose.

Permalink

Being charming and persuasive? 

Permalink

Showing the way to power.

Permalink

Far more effectively than Annatar could have dreamed of. 

Permalink

She'll have to start dreaming bigger. She has the tools for it now.

Permalink

New places her ambitions can reach? 

Permalink

Precisely.

Permalink

Exactly what she made it for...

Permalink

Are they going to go impress people, then?

Permalink

Celebrimbor, at the very least. 

Permalink

Adorable thing. 

Now, where is Celebrimbor right now...?

Permalink

In her workshop, personalizing a pair of gift bracelets.

Permalink

She doesn't interrupt, instead stopping to watch Celebrimbor at work like she usually does -

But if Celebrimbor glances up, there's pretty obviously something different about her. A new liveliness.
