| Celeborn’s eyebrows rose at the sight before him. “What are you doing?” Galadriel was on her knees in their bedchamber, rummaging through a chest of drawers, its contents strewn haphazardly around her. “I’m searching for a present to give to Boromir!” “Here? Would the armoury or a workshop not be more appropriate?” “Perhaps. Yes. No.” Celeborn’s eyebrows rose even higher. Galadriel explained, “I just know the perfect gift: Remember what Arwen made in one of her more fanciful moods?” She displayed her find. “Oh!” Celeborn looked enlightened. “Good idea – it didn’t fit me anyway... And I’m certain Arwen wouldn’t mind.” |
