Title: Counsellor of Elrond

His chief counsellor Elrond calls me, and it is an honor, but it means that I must be at every meeting in this room, and just taking my chair is enough to make my mind wander. Especially since I've heard the story of how Isildur took the Ring at least a thousand times. I heard Gandalf's report about Saruman and the Ring too, and he said it in fewer words when his dinner and a bath were waiting for him.

The fate of the world hangs on our words, and all I can do is concentrate:

I will not yawn.
