Ooooh, excellent! You have captured MZB's style here, and of course, this represents a favorite character and subject for me. I'm especially taken by Celebrimbor's tapping into his knowledge gained from Curufin on the utility of grey. Seems to represent a step of healing to come between the son and the father. Also emphasizes that Curufin was not All Bad, All the Time (but then you know that I tend to see the bad guys as nuanced ;^)).

I love it! Definitely put it up on the SWG and I'll get a detailed review up there. Thank you very much, Rhapsy! This is a wonderful gift of a story.
