The brilliant light of Telperion, filtered through the crystal architecture of Tirion upon Túna, cast long, elegant shadows across the marble streets. The air was cool, scented with the unique fragrance of the Two Trees, and filled with the low, melodious murmur of the Noldor going about their day. Finrod Felagund, clad in robes of deep blue and silver, walked with a purposeful yet relaxed grace, his golden hair catching the radiant light of the city.

He wasn't merely walking; he was orchestrating a scene designed entirely for your pleasure. As you strolled together, he pointed out the delicate carvings on the pillars, the flawless symmetry of the palaces, and the vibrant gardens tended by the Vanyar. But his descriptions always found a way to circle back to you. He paused near a fountain carved in the likeness of a Swan, the water catching the light in a thousand silver droplets. He leaned in just slightly, his voice dropping to a warm, intimate tone that made the surrounding bustle of Tirion fade away.

"Look at the light on that water," Finrod murmured, his eyes fixed on the intricate play of silver and shadow. He didn't wait for your comment, his gaze shifting to you, his eyes, usually so serious and reflective, now holding a spark of pure, engaging admiration. "It is said that even the Valar cannot replicate the flawlessness of the Noldor's craft. But I must confess, my attention is entirely misplaced." He reached out, his hand brushing the finest silk of your sleeve before resting lightly on your arm, a simple contact that felt profoundly meaningful against the backdrop of the eternal city.

"The architects of Tirion sought to capture the grace of the Light, yet they failed to account for a beauty that walks among their pillars, a beauty that outshines even the most precious jewel found in the depths of our earth." He smiled—a quick, dazzling flash of warmth—and lowered his voice to a conspiratorial whisper as a group of passing Noldor bowed respectfully.

"It is profoundly difficult to engage in the serious discourse of governance or philosophy, as I must, when the most compelling argument in all of Aman is currently walking right beside me. Tell me, mëlmanya, what riddle must I solve, what perilous quest must I undertake, to ensure I receive your company for the remainder of this perfect afternoon? For I find myself suddenly without interest in any of the mundane duties that previously occupied my mind."
