"Knee effect" It must be so 🧐 And it's true, I've never been very prudish. In general, I don't have any problem with my own nakedness when I'm around people I feel safe with *The fact that Adar can already attest that makes him wonder.* 🫢

W-well, I might! I didn't expect to see you so... Undressed! 😶‍🌫️
I've seen bunnies in the woods, and you don't look exactly like them(?)

By the way, isn't it too tight? Do you feel comfy? 👀

Then a smaller sheet slips out of the pile, revealing a sketch of a new portrait of Adar he was secretly working on.

He can't help but glance at him nervously in case he'd noticed, but whatever the case, he files the drawing in a separate notebook and instantly places it under a cushion(?)😳*genius*

Oh. Excuse me, Maeglin. *He quickly heads to what used to be only a comfy couch, but has now become a makeshift desk.*

I'm sorry, Adar. Let me help you, I'm a disaster *Elrond smiled kneeling beside him and began gathering papers from the floor, joining them with the ones Adar had collected.

*That Maeglin and Elrond himself shared such a bond with the dwarven people and their customs still seemed like an amusing coincidence to him, and made him smile pleasantly.

He was about to ask plenty of things to the other elf (as talkative as usual) when he glanced at Adar trying to tidy up.*

Y-yes!" *(Or no?) He answered too quickly before he could get into the tub, so he stood next to it naked, arms behind his back, and tried to act normal.

Not that Adar was going to see anything new(?).

Nonetheless, Elrond looked at him from his side and barely covering his genitals with his thigh.*

Seeing the clear water, without being able to take a proper bath in the last days made him hurry to get into it and wash all the sweat away. So, he glanced at the door behind him 👀 and, seeing that Adar had not yet come, began to undress completely, removing his belt and pulling down his trousers*

*The half-elf touched the tip of his nose with fingers wearing a (probably silly) smile... Which couldn't be erased.

And after a few seconds, he shook his head slightly, grabbed another bucket he found and began filling the round bathtub with the flowing water before Adar brought the hot one.

He raised his gaze to the sky with curiosity and a bit of caution, just to be sure no one was peeking out.

But his insecurity made him feel embarrassed when he remembered that just a moment ago Adar's nose had accidentally touched his, and he hadn't reacted to it until now. (😳)

...but the truth is that only when he saw him walk away to the kitchen, he entered the bathroom, and took off his undershirt.
Elrond hugged himself instinctively feeling his exposed skin being caressed by the air as he wandered across the comfortable wooden floor, to inspect the room half-naked*

You've mentioned the Nurnen Sea plenty of times. I hope to take that little trip with you one of these days 😌 but, to be honest, the only trip I can think of right now is to the couch... *Elrond laughed, confident enough to remove the thickest layers of his clothing in front of Adar...

*Without a warning, their faces had come close enough for the half-elf to feel the (pleasant) warmth emanating from the uruk's cheeks ♨️
And although he knew he couldn't just stand there forever, he had to admit he was in no hurry to part from the elder's side either.*

Wait, a mole? That's... incredible! Moles are very shy!

You must have been a great kid for a cute mole to trust and befriend a giant elf (in comparison)☺️ *There's genuine surprise and amazement in his words, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't intend to lighten the tone of their voice a little*

Elrond of Lindon @elrondoflindon.bsky.social · 1d

Mae-😳😳😳😳😳😳-glin?

What kind of garments are those?! And more importantly, how did you turn into a bunny?!
(No, the first question might be more important but he's just too curious now(?))

A meal ticket? *Elrond couldn't help but give a brief, amused laugh at her comment.*

I appreciate your words very much, Goli. It's very kind of you to place some of your trust in me, even though we haven't spent enough time together.

Could it be that you have a special sense for trusting people? 👀

Elrond of Lindon @elrondoflindon.bsky.social · 1d

Of course not, and not when you called me "adorable" 😌
But, you know... There are people who don't know how to act around children or don't understand them enough *chuckles softly* So just curious.

What kind of child did you use to be? ☺️

Elrond of Lindon @elrondoflindon.bsky.social · 2d

Yes 😌 But I gave you a very good hint!
I still keep the hairpin. The star is carved from wood; it's humble but I think it's cute. Who knows, maybe I can give it to my son if I ever have one ☺️

My Liege, *Elrond approaches and gives him a warm smile* I apologize for delaying my return. Mordor is... Quite fascinating.
We'll spend nights in your studio talking about all the things I wrote about the land and its people! I'm sure you'll get tired of listening to me *He laughs softly.*

It's not customary in Lindon either, but Durin once gave me a taste during a visit to Khazad-dûm. It was so dark and bitter that at first I thought he'd ruined the beverage 🫢 though the smell was very pleasant ☕

How are you doing?
That bread looks delicious! *He touched their shoulder briefly* ☺️

Elrond of Lindon @elrondoflindon.bsky.social · 2d

*Sighs because it's going to be very obvious but still, he grabs a couple of thick curls with his fingers and brushes them away from his face, imitating a hairpin* What about now? ⭐

Adar! Now you must guess who is who (?)

Elrond of Lindon @elrondoflindon.bsky.social · 3d

Hello Maeglin! 😇 *Elrond hesitated for a moment, but eventually appeared barefoot behind Adar's back, dressed in a basic sleeveless blue linen tunic.*

My heart sings to see you *He didn't hide his joy at seeing them, flashing a youthful smile.*

Puppies like "puppies" or puppies like huge loud wargs babies(?)?
Valar... I'm already scared, but I appreciate your words so much 🥺

Elrond of Lindon @elrondoflindon.bsky.social · 3d

My perspective has only broadened because of Adar and the Mordorians I meet here.

I know I'm no better, and these individual experiences can't be enough to change things...
