“Here you are -- I have been looking for you everywhere!” Celebrian carefully lifted her dress with one hand and walked across the shingles to the peak of the roof where her husband sat, looking over the valley. She let out a little laugh when Elrond tried to conceal a small, smoking item. “Is that a pipe in your hand?”
With a sigh, Elrond held it up. “Everyone has their vices, darling.”
“Why have you been hiding this from me?” she was curious, hardly upset
“First, I was keeping it from your parents; then, after we married, I did not want the children to see it... I suppose you want me to stop.”
“Actually, I could use a pull of that myself,” smiled Celebrian ruefully.
