In Silence He Wanders [Action]

[silvertree]

[ It was early evening when the Silver Lord ventured out to town. As dusk approached, the evening sky was quickly streaked with amber hues. The sun was setting over the vast horizon, not to be seen again until morning's rise. Normally Celeborn wouldn't be seen roaming about at this time of day, especially since he took a keen fondness to staying indoors. However, it would seem there was no book at the library that could hold the Elvenlord's interest for he now prowls the streets with no set destination.

Watching idly as a few onlookers passed him by, Celeborn's regal form was all but concealed in a gray cloak spun from cotton. He walked along the cobblestone streets in complete silence, his blue gaze lingering upon random faces that caught his eye. Finally, Celeborn came to a complete halt in front of a familiar shop that he knew belonged to Elrond. ]

[ Of course Celeborn knew that, but can he honestly bring himself to ask for more than what she already gives? Besides, what is there that needs to be given? Her love and devotion all he needs, or so he would quickly state. ]

My lady, is something troubling you?

[ Something does seem rather amidst here; the splendid gift aside. ]

[inafadingcrown]

No, my lord. [Or, at least nothing more than usual. She worries and her mind is seldom at rest, but that is to be expected, she thinks.] Do I seem troubled?

[silvertree]

You do. [ He quickly answers. ] Yet you seem somewhat at ease as well.

Almost as if a burden has been lifted.

[inafadingcrown]

[She pauses, thinking.] If I am troubled, it is only out of concern for the welfare of others. And if I seem at ease, surely it must be your doing; you have lifted a great many burdens from my shoulders.
