CHAPTER 3
Elrond sat with Erestor and Glorfindel in the same library that he had occupied earlier with his beloved. Glorfindel looked at the Lord of Imladris.
" I heard that you and Lord Celeborn held a conversation earlier."
Elrond nearly choked on his wine.
" What do you mean?"
Erestor shot a glare at Glorfindel, then turned to Elrond.
" What he means is that Elladan and Elrohir were in the library earlier and saw you with Lord Celeborn."
Elrond's eyes widened. His sons had witnessed their Ada and Ata'da's kiss?
" What did they see?" he asked, hoping the answer would not be what he thought it would be.
Erestor shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
" Elladan said he saw you and Lord Celeborn..."
"Kissing." Glorfindel finished for him.
Elrond clamped a hand over his mouth. He knew the twins were not elflings and understood the relationship of two males, but they must be questioning why he was with Celeborn.
XXXXXXXX
"Ata'da?"
Celeborn looked up from his seat in the gardens and smiled when he saw his grandsons walking toward him.
" Elladan, Elrohir, how do you fare this night?"
Elladan smiled back at his grandfather.
" We are well."
Celeborn could tell that there was something on their minds.
" What troubles you?"
Before Elladan could say anything, the words tumbled from Elrohir's mouth.
" Why did you kiss Ada?"
Elrohir clamped his hand over his mouth. He looked at Celeborn, who he thought he had made angry. Celeborn was smiling at him.
" I love him."
Elladan's eyes widened.
" You love Ada?"
Celeborn nodded.
" Very much."
Elrohir sat beside Celeborn.
" But what about..."
Celeborn turned to Elrohir.
" We revoked our vows. She will sail to be with your Naneth."
Elladan and Elrohir's eyes widened.
" She is leaving you?" Elrohir asked.
Celeborn nodded.
" She is not my mate of soul. She will find him in Valinor."
Elladan was about to ask another question, but he heard someone speak from behind him.
" Elladan, Elrohir, leave your Ata'da in peace."
Elladan and Elrohir turned to see their Ada standing there. Elrohir stood and grabbed onto his brother. They said their goodnights and headed inside. Celeborn chuckled.
" Hannon le Elrond nin."
Elrond sat beside his beloved. He said nothing for a moment, then spoke.
" They saw us kiss."
Celeborn nodded.
" I know this."
Elrond rested his head on Celeborn's shoulder.
" Do you think they are disappointed in us?"
Celeborn wrapped an arm protectively around Elrond's waist.
" They have no reason to be."
Elrond nodded, but did not reply. He just wanted to sit with his beloved and watch the stars.
