Grief does not weaken love; it makes it stronger. I welcome Love back into our fold, but I do not know what to do with the items of festivity. I fear I would look strange wrapped in a pink blanket or eating sugared treats in the shape of hearts.

(So inevitably he will not alter his routine. Celebrimbor is an Elf of constancy if nothing else.)

I am happy for all of those who have found love or remember their love fondly. We are not always so blessed.

But that matters naught! The defense of our city is still paramount and I encourage all who are new to using weapons to keep practicing or seek the expertise of others. It could save your life.

Furthermore, I will be closing the Forge for a short while in order to scavenge for more materials. Should anyone wish to accompany me, you are welcome.

There are so many things in life that can lead to pain, sir, if we take our steps worrying about what will eventually happen in future how will we enjoy the present? Shouldn't we try to be happy when we have a chance to? [she chuckles] They are soft.

Then, please, let me know where and when I will have to meet you, I will try my best.

It is difficult to not think of the past where love is concerned. That is my burden and I pray you never share it.

However I will try to be happy. I have many blessings to count too.

I will come to meet you. It is safer that way. Where do you live?
