"I am a master of my craft, after all."

"The best there is."

Smug.

"I should get to work, then."

Permalink

"I'll leave you to it."

Permalink

"As you like."

Permalink

"Though do let me know if you wish for any help or inspiration."

Permalink

"I believe I can manage with the ample amount of both you've already provided."

Permalink

"Alright."

And so Celebrimbor will retire back to her workshop.

Permalink

And it's not too much longer before she calls on Melkor to hand over her present. She has Melvire on her knees, offering up a lacquered wooden box engraved with some truly salacious designs.

Permalink

She spends a while admiringly examining the box before opening it.

Inside, nestled in dark velvet, is a lovely little tiara, white gold formed into swoops and peaks with diamonds at the apexes. A chain of rubies like drops of blood trail down from either end, which could be woven into a hairstyle or used to anchor a fine silvery mithril veil, wrought so finely that it flows like silk

"Oh, it's lovely!"

Permalink

"I'm glad you like it."

Permalink

"Will you put it on me?"

Permalink

"Of course. How would you like the tassels?"

Permalink

"In my hair, for now."

Permalink

"As you wish." Celebrimbor steps around behind Melkor and with deft fingers places the tiara on her head and arranges the strings of gems.

Permalink

Mmm good.

"Your hair really is lovely," she murmurs, combing through it. "Which is a more meaningful compliment to one such as you than it might otherwise be."

Permalink

She summons a mirror. "Your work only makes it lovelier."

Permalink

Celebrimbor holds Melkor's hair to show off her work in the best position. "A multiplicative effect."

Permalink

"And I highlight the beauty of your work in turn."

Permalink

"The whole becoming more than the sum of its parts."

Permalink

"A collaborative effort."
