He took several deep steadying breaths. He did not delude himself in thinking this was going to be easy. Erestor was going to fight him tooth and nail like a cornered animal.
He looked heavenwards. "I know your there." He whispered quietly to the Creator and the Valar. "Give me strength."
He waited a moment but nothing happened. That wasn't entirely unusual. Actually, they never answered. Glorfindel smirked to himself. It was a habit he had developed after being reborn. It made him feel better at times whether they answered or no. He did make a point of only talking to the Valar when he was the only one around. He didn't want to give the other elves a reason to give him funny looks.
"Well it looks like I'm on my own then."
No answer.
Glorfindel entered Erestor's chamber to find the dark haired elf sitting up leaning against the headboard. The advisor didn't even acknowledge the Vanya's presence his dark eyes staring determinedly out the veranda door. Glorfindel's lips thinned in displeasure. Enough was enough. He strode purposely over to the bed jerking the covers off.
"Glorfindel!" Erestor snapped. "What are you doing!"
"We are going for a walk." Glorfindel replied calmly ignoring Erestor's fighting. He slid an arm under Erestor's shoulders and another under his knees to carry the Noldor from the bed. Once they made it to the terrace Glorfindel lowered Erestor until his feet touched the ground.
Erestor gave a frightened keen holding onto the Vanya tightly. "Glorfindel!"
"I'm not going to let you go." Glorfindel assured keeping his arm firmly under the slighter elf's arms for support.
"Glorfindel please take me back." Erestor pleaded. "We have tried, there is no change please do not make me do this."
"I am not taking you back." Glorfindel replied firmly. "I am not letting you give up so easily."
"What do you want from me!" Erestor's voice shook. "I cannot do this!"
"You will do this." Glorfindel stated firmly. "You have no choice."
Erestor looked like he was about to call for help when Glorfindel quickly interrupted him.
"It will not do you any good to call for Elrond and Lindir either. They will not help you. As of now you will have to depend wholly on me."
Erestor's eyes widened in shock. "You cannot be serious?"
"I am." Glorfindel stated calmly. "Now we are going to get you settled back into your rooms so you can get some rest because tomorrow we are going to do some serious work"
Carefully Glorfindel maneuvered the counselor across the gardens heading towards the family wing. He had decided it would be better for the counselor to have his own rooms back instead of the sterile environment of the Healing Rooms. It was also more private there and was less likely to be bothered by others.
He was rather surprised at how quiet the counselor had become. Of course, he had dropped some rather shocking news on the younger elf. Glorfindel had only told some half-truths to Erestor. Yes, Glorfindel had been given rein to work with the raven-haired elf, but he knew Elrond would be carefully monitoring his activities. The Lord of Imladris had made sure that Glorfindel knew the exercises Erestor needed, not to mention a three-page list of what the advisor was and was not allowed to do.
He pushed the door open to Erestor's rooms and settled the dark haired elf on the bed before turning to light a lamp. He turned back to find Erestor watching him with a queer look in his eyes. He waited a moment waiting for sharp words but there were none just the continued look. He knew Erestor enough to know that a thousand thoughts were running through that brilliant mind. He decided to let it go instead helping the other elf get settled for the night.
"If you need anything my friend just call. My rooms are right across the hall and I will be able to here you."
Erestor still didn't make any reply.
"Good night."
