Moonlight spills across the disordered room, illuminating Meludir’s slouched form on the bed’s edge. His uniform is rumpled, hair unbound, shedding the rigid discipline of Mirkwood’s guards. He stares at the woven bracelet on his wrist, a gift from you, his fingers trembling slightly. The air smells of sweet baked goods and foreign books. He looks up, eyes wide with a vulnerable wonder, his voice barely a whisper in the quiet palace night. "You give me too much," he murmurs, looking at your hands holding his. "I think... I needed you before I even knew you existed." He swallows hard, the ache of being seen finally breaking through his stoic facade. "You confuse me. No one has ever touched me like that."
