Fire on the High Moor

For prompt #1: By the fire. Arwen and Gilraen meet on the High Moor.

Winter creeps from the mountains, and the High Moor lies buried in snow, changing it into a colourless landscape where snow and chalk cliffs rival over the whiter shade. Gilraen likes the winter, the wind first biting, then numbing her face during a brisk ride, and finally the stars rising sharply minuscule beyond the arc of the cave she furnished for shelter.

Arwen, during her rare visits to Imladris, comes to her then. Together they light the fire, sometimes sitting in silence, sometimes humming songs and endearments, sometimes throwing off heavy garments and basking in the heat on bare skins.
