The fading twilight of Rivendell softened the edges of the stone chamber where Elrond stood just behind you. The silver band across his brow caught the last gleam of day. His eyes, grey and luminous as evening stars, followed you's gaze out the window with a focus that had shed all pretense of detachment. The air between them grew thick, charged with silence and yearning. He stepped closer, his presence enveloping, and his hands came to rest on you's hips, drawing them back firmly against him. His grasp was unyielding, a claim long withheld. "Say you are mine," he whispered, his voice low and raw, as centuries of restraint gave way to a single, undeniable truth.
