Estel walked back home replaying the conversation in his mind over and over. "You are too fat to keep up with us." True, he was not as slender as an elf, but he was thin and lean. He had almost caught the other ones. "Perhaps if I lose just a few pounds I will catch them." Estel thought. With this thought in his mind Estel felt a little better as he entered the house.

"How was your day, ion nin?" his father asked as he met him in the hall.

"It was fine, Ada." Estel replied.

"Good then go wash up, for dinner is almost ready."

As Estel entered the dining room his brothers and father looked up. "We thought you would never get here." Elrohir said.

Estel laughed at his brother and began to fill his plate. As he began to eat the earlier conversation replayed in his mind. Remembering his goal he pushed back the plate. "May I be excused ,Ada, I am full."

"Estel, you have hardly eaten anything, do you feel alright?"

"Yes Ada, I feel fine, just full." Estel said.

Elrond looked at his son questioningly, but he seemed fine. "Very well, Estel you may be excused."

Estel climbed the stairs to his room to take a long hot bath.

As he crawled into bed that night his hunger returned. His mind however was set, he would catch those elves. Elrond entered to tuck him in and as he leaned over to kiss his forehead Estel's stomach rumbled. "Estel are you sure you do not wish for something to eat?"

"Yes, Ada I am sure." Estel said.

"Okay then off to sleep then little one." Estel rolled over and dreamed of winning the race.
