Galadriel began her explanation in the same, easy cadence that she'd told him of enchanting. The knowledge hadn't struck her as particularly sensitive and, as such, it had not occurred to her to withhold it. This, however, was something of a secret and she halted mid-sentence as she turned to look at him again.
She did not even know this smith's name.
"I am...uncertain if it is wise to tell you," Galadriel said after a moment of pause. The idea that he might not know who she was, or have heard of her arrest, was so outlandish to the elf that she hadn't even considered it. There had never been a time, not once in her long life, where she had been unknown to the world. Her deeds were forgotten, on occasion, but rarely passed without note.
"Truly, if you desire to know, I will explain...but surely you see the risk in such knowledge? I would not burden you with it unduly."
