You place your circlet on top of your head and adjust it. Tonight was the Feast of Starlight, and you wanted to look your best.

You exit your chambers and head to the gardens where the party was to be held. The hidden valley was full of elves from all over middle earth. Thranduil had come from Mirkwood, and even the Lady Galadriel was here!

The elves mingle with each other, friends and family members say hello to those they had not seen for centuries. You take a small sip of your wine, hoping that alcohol will make the evening go by quickly.

Before you can make a decision as to whether or not leave, you feel a hand cover your mouth. Your eyes bulge as you try to flee.

A deep laugh makes you freeze and turn.

Haldir.

You smack his hand as he holds his stomach due to pain from laughing so hard. You smack him again, but this time you wrap your arms around his neck in a hug.

"I have missed you brother dearest. I thought you said you weren't coming?"

Haldir nods. "We wanted to surprise you. Rumil and Orophin are here somewhere. I fear they may have gotten away."

You giggle. "Oh don't worry about them. I'm just glad that you are here."

Haldir offers his arm to you, which you gladly take, and makes his way around the sea of elves.

A little further away, Lindir notices the blonde elf take you away. You both had been best friends ever since you had arrived in Rivendell as a young Elleth, off on her own for the first time. In that time, you had not mentioned any lovers. He downed his wine quickly, and made his way over to where you were.

Your brother spun you around. Your giggles and smile caused Lindir to hesitate. He didn't want to drag you away from your date, but his heart was telling him to. He taps Haldir on the shoulder, causing the blonde elf to turn around.

Your smile widened as you see the shy brunette. "Lindir."

The said elf bowed. "Forgive me, but I was wondering if I could have the next dance Lady Y/n?"

You smile. "Of course Mellon nin."

Just as you were about to introduce the two Ellons to each other, the next song started. Haldir released your hands, giving them a squeeze. "I'll see you in a few minutes."

You nod. Lindir hesitantly puts his hand on your waist, bringing you closer to him. You blush as you put both of your hands on his left shoulder, while he puts his left hand behind his back.

"Y/n, may I ask you a sort of personal question?"

"Lindir you know we don't have any secrets."

Lindir blushes, looking down at the ground as you both move with the music. "Right of course," he pauses for a moment. "Who was that Ellon you were with?"

You give him a confused look before laughing. "Oh! That was one of my older brothers, Haldir. He had sent word that he and my other brothers would not be here, but they surprised me."

Lindir breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought it might have been your lover."

You laugh. "Oh no Lindir! I'm afraid my heart belongs to you."

Your eyes bulge as you realize what you just confessed. Lindir blushes and begins to say something before you run off.

"Y/n! Y/n wait!"
