prompts:  shiver, lullaby, quiet, glory

Turukáno accepted the newly named infant from Tuor, moving casually although his heart was bursting. He looked intently into the boy's eyes, remembering the moment when he had first encountered Itarillë's bright eyes and known her father-name. "Hail Eärendil!" he said into the glory of that tiny face. The newborn met his gaze with a tiny shiver of recognition, then calmed as Turukáno began the slow swaying bounce every parent knows. Turukáno began to sing the same quiet lullaby he had sung to Itarillë so long ago, so far away, smiling as he remembered the celestial blue eyes of Elenwë.
