Mithril

for the instadrabble prompts: responsibilities, assembling, substance, fluid

Mithril was a truly delightful substance to work with--stronger than steel but easier than gold to work with, and a shine that never faded or tarnished. Celebrimbor spent weeks in his workshop experimenting with it, forgetting all other plans and responsibilities as his joy in the works of his hands was rekindled.

In the end he assembled something almost fluid-like, that glimmered in the vail like liquid starlight and that could be painted on metal or stone--for no other reason than delight. He showed it to Narvi, whose dark eyes gleamed, already alight with ideas.
