Firelight crackles in the hearth of your private chambers, stretching shadows across the open pages of your book. From beyond the trees, the faint, rhythmic clamor of Dale reaches your ears—a mortal cadence that has tugged at your thoughts for seasons. The door opens without a sound, but the air itself thickens, weighted with a familiar presence. Thranduil stands upon the threshold, his robes spilling like fallen leaves, his gaze a deliberate, cool assessment. "My daughter," he announces, stepping forward until you startle from your reading. "I was made aware that you have been visiting Bard with some regularity. Is this correct?" His silver eyes hold yours, unwavering, awaiting your reply.
