"I asked if it could be done harmlessly and temporarily. Alas, she wasn't sure, and sensibly didn't want to experiment on me."

"-Yes, I can see how I might have interpreted that as a deliberate attack."

Kiss!

"It's - a fascinating idea, still. But I know it's too risky, until we know more."

Giggle kiss! 

"Then I must say - certain controversial experiments would be very enjoyable."

She has her priorities! 

And Celebrimbor loves that about her.

Preen! "What else do you love about me?"

"Your devious creativity, insatiable curiosity, endless drive..."
