All was silent on the ride to Rivendell, Aragorn rode with Elrohir on the horse the elf owned as Elladan walked beside his own horse which carried the body of their friend. The twins glanced at each other then at their human brother, they knew he had regained composer quickly, but they could tell from his face that the man was struggleling to keep hold of it for their sake as well as his own, Elladan made his horse level with his twin's and touched Aragorn's knee,keeping silent the man glanced down at his brother.
" Estel..."
The man quickly looked away when his eyes fell onto their friend's lifeless body. Elrohir put pressure on his brother's shoulder and spoke softly,
" We will get him to Rivendell and then you can rest."
" I do not want rest!"
The man cried out nearly breaking into tears, Elrohir stiffend momentarly and then spoke again,
" Estel, you need to rest. Ada will take care of our friend."
The man didn't say anything more for a moment and then whispered,
" How will Ada be able to do anything to help him now?"
Elladan looked away blinking back tears, then turned to his brothers as he looked into the human's eyes. Aragorn was trying his best to keep his tears back as Elrohir put his arm around him in comfort. They rode on in silence until Aragorn sighed turning his head to glance at Elladan again.
" I tried...I tried so hard..."
" We know you did."
Elrohir felt his brother's body shaking and pulled him closer, not knowing what else to do for this human they had become so close to over the years as the brother they knew and loved now. Elladan fought back the tears that wanted to run down his own cheeks, he had to be strong and help Aragorn and Elrohir get through this.
