Chapter 3
Discussions Between Father and Son
"Ada?" Elrohir asked.
"Yes ion nîn?" Elrond replied.
"I'm glad you're here." The young twin said before burying his head in his father's shoulder.
"It will be all right." Elrond said, as he briefly closed his eyes in rememberance, as he stroked his son's hair. "Everything will be all right."
"Do you miss him?" Elrohir asked suddenly.
Elrond was startled out of his deep thoughts at the unexpected question. "Do I miss who?" He asked back in confusion.
"Elros."
"Every day. I left the book that he had given me, for one, or both, of you to find. I thought it would help you."
"It did Ada, the knowledge that you understood what it felt like, and the promise that I made to 'Dan to not follow him were what made me decide to come." Elrohir said. "If Glorfindel hadn't shown me the book, I think I would have wasted away."
Elrond looked sadly at the only child of his to return, with understanding.
"I brought it with me ada, just to let you know." Elrohir added, hoping to cheer his father up somewhat.
Elrond looked at his son with a small smile. "You don't know how happy that made me." He said.
"I wish I had something like that to remember 'Dan by." Elrohir said.
"But there is still a chance that he will return. Elros and I are separated until the ending of the world, you and Elladan are not." Elrond added.
Elrond felt a gentle hand on his shoulder, and he suddenly felt foolish for not acknowledging her before. "Elrohir, I would like you to meet someone."
Elrohir pulled away from his father to look at the elf-maid that he had seen standing beside his ada from the ship.
"Ion nîn, I would like you to meet my naneth, Elwing." Elrond said, smiling as his mother warmly embraced her grandson.
