Kiss!

Kiss!

(She really is feeling a lot better about her worries. It's all in the perspective one takes.)

Mmmhmmm.

Probably at some point Celebrimbor should talk to Annatar. However, Domhildr has been very patient in giving Celebrimbor time to process...

Then she deserves the full measure of Celebrimbor's thanks.

And then she will go to find Annatar.

Annatar: is easy to find and easier to interrupt. 

"Have you - finished thinking?"

"I have."

"I think we can continue as before."

Relieved smile! "Good." Then, teasingly: "Though there's nothing saying we couldn't add things..."

"I think, Annatar, that I might be disappointed in you if you had nothing else to share now."

"Oh, I have a lot, if you want to hear..."

"Do tell," she purrs.

She steps closer to Celebrimbor and murmurs in her ear: "To start... You on a throne, the kings of Middle Earth kneeling at your feet..."

"Domhildr say'd you say that. And that doing so would be attractive. She was correct on both counts."

"She's a smart woman."

"Insightful."

"Has some very good ideas..."

"Indeed."

"And she's right that you're beautiful beyond compare, and you'd be more beautiful yet as Empress of the world."

"As long as you don't desert me once you help me reach that station. That would be an awful lot of work to do alone."

"Given I want to rule by your side..."

"Good."

Happy, contented smile. 

Meanwhile, Precious reaches out to Domhildr.

'I think things are working out.'
