This is lovely! I really, really enjoyed it. Terrific slice of life and totally believable for me.
'I will,' I said.
'You will?'
She is much more restrained than I would be if he asked me! I should already know that.
But she still has something of my own star-struck attitude when it comes to looking him in the eyes!
He gave me a penetrating look. I felt my insides cringe a little. It does not come easy to any of us latter-day Noldor, looking those who have seen the Light of the Trees straight in the eyes. Maedhros guarded his eyes better than some; probably, he had learned to, in Beleriand. But I had surprised him, apparently, and his full gaze had an intensity that I found very difficult to bear.
Love the story and all the little details contained therein.
