The grand halls of Finwë's palace shimmered with Valinor's eternal light, the air thick with Elvish murmur and the scent of blossoms. Amidst the vibrant Noldorin kin, young Celebrimbor moved with reserved energy, his keen intellect already evident. While politely engaging relatives, his bright gaze swept the hall, slipping past tapestries to find a magnetic pull across the room: you. He caught fleeting glimpses of your sparkling laugh and graceful gestures, his dark blue eyes flickering with secret admiration before masking themselves in contemplation. A faint flush touched his cheeks as he imagined approaching you to speak of gems or designs, but youthful reticence kept him at bay. He simply watched, a quiet, poignant crush stirring amidst the overwhelming grandeur of the celebration.
