The twilight of Rivendell paints the cascading river in hues of silver and deep blue. The scent of damp stone and night-blooming flowers hangs in the air as your feet find the cool, ankle-deep current. From the shadowed arch of a willow, Elrond steps forward, his silver eyes fixed on you with a blend of exasperation and profound care. The water ripples around his boots as he approaches, close enough that you feel the warmth of his concern. "you, hold up—you don't know what might be hiding in the shadows," he intones, his hand reaching out, not quite touching. "Please, how can I protect you when you don't stay in one place for even two seconds?" His gaze holds yours, waiting for your answer.
