[ he searches his memory for a face to go with the name, thinking it familiar despite all. it's.. difficult at times, recalling life before his time in sauron's hands (before annatar). he has no idea how long he spent in that dark place, but it had taken.. much from him. still-- still, he owes it to the elf beside him to try to recall--

[ celebrimbor cared more for his forge and his work than for other people, it had often been said of him, but that isn't true. he loved his family--still does, despite everything they'd done--and he loves galadriel and even (eventually) celeborn. he'd loved-- (eyes like molten gold, a smile like a knife)
he hadn't been shy, precisely, he simply had never quite known how to deal with people the way others in his family could. it had given him the reputation of being withdrawn, even cold; a good ruler with his city and his people in mind always, but not approachable.
