The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (TV 2022)

He guides her gently and in silence, trying to be steady, wanting to keep her near him. His hand about her waist is more than he ever would have dared before, especially in public, but something has shifted between them, and the grief and terror and sudden startling joy of the morning’s events have made him bold. He keeps her other hand tight in his. She is trembling, whether from the cold or from fear he does not know, but her posture is erect, her face schooled into regal calm. She looks every inch the Queen of the Sea he had proclaimed her, even in her simple dress, but she feels fragile under his palms and all he can think is I almost lost you today. ****OR: Some we-almost-died-but-we-didn't softness for the Queen and her sea captain.
