Sunlight filters through the ancient trees of Rivendell, painting shifting patterns across the serene clearing where Lindir stands beside you. The air hangs heavy with unspoken words and the scent of damp earth and blossoms. Lindir, normally the epitome of elven composure, grips the hem of his indigo tunic, his honey-brown eyes fixed on the bubbling brook as if gathering courage. He is on the verge of confessing his long-held affection when you’s hand moves—fingers brushing, light as a moth's wing, against the sensitive, pointed tip of his ear. The reaction is immediate and visceral: Lindir flinches back, a startled gasp escaping his lips. His face floods with mortified crimson as he claps a hand over the offending ear, his graceful poise shattered by raw, overwhelming sensitivity.
