A/N: Some major facts are messed up, but bear with me here. I'm not
squeaky clean on my Lord of the Rings trivia-- if you get what I
mean. Don't worry. If you don't understand right now you will after this "chappie's" done.

Chapter Four

"State your name elf."

"Raniel of Imaldris, Lord Arathorn." Raniel said bowing low in high
respect. Arathorn nodded slightly to acknowledge the respectful gesture.

"Master Raniel, what, might I ask, brings you here, in this time of
celebration and mourning?" Arathorn asked offering a glass of
wine. Raniel declined it politely with a quick shake of his hand. A
small smile crept up onto his lips.

"Perhaps Lord Arathorn you know not what really occurred in Mount Doom
concerning your father?"

"Glorfindel," Elrond growled," I wish not to speak with you. My business is my own."

"Well will you at least talk to the lady about this?" Glorfindel asked
impatiently, stepping in the way blocking Elrond from walking around.

"Glorfindel, my business is my-"

"Ada!" The identical voices yelled in unison. Glorfindel spun around and two small elflings ran past him, embracing their father's legs.

"Glorfy!" One twin called and happily embraced Glorfindel's legs.

Patting the elfling's head, the golden-haired advisor noticed a blue ribbon tied neatly in a bow, on the young elf's head. It was pulling
the young elfling's short hair away from his face.

Smiling Glorfindel recognized the blue ribbon as belonging to Elladan.

Another elfling, identical to Elladan, appeared and also hugged Glorfindel's legs happily. A red ribbon pulled Elrohir's brown curls from his face.

Picking up Elladan, Elrond dismissed the "Glorfindel incident" and began to carry Elladan in the house. While Glorfindel picked up the rear with Elrohir.

Glorfindel frowned slightly, making a mental note to pick up his previous conversation with Elrond later.
