Aragorn woke up to sunlight streaming in through his windows and birds happily chirping. Groaning, he lifted himself up and slowly stood. Stretching, he put on his boots and walked wearily down to the breakfast hall. The twins were already awake and eating. As he came in, they stopped their conversation and looked up.
"Estel! It has been a long time and we see so little of you! You didn't come down last night to eat. You said you would later and Ada was upset when he never saw you." Elladan said in one breath.
"Sorry." Aragorn muttered, sitting down. One of the servants put a heaping platter of food in front of him. Taking one look at it, he felt ready to be sick. So much to eat! The human's body didn't need all that! Besides, it wasn't like he was trying to keep his strength up. The Rangers could deal without him. For some reason, Estel didn't delight in being out in the Wild, surrounded by humans as much as he used to. To others around Aragorn, it seemed like the mortal was losing interest in what had previously been all he'd ever wanted; losing his lust for life! Ignoring the elven twins, Aragorn made himself to pick up the fork on the table, and scoop up some of the food in front of him, forcing it into his mouth. His brothers were not about to be put off by his lack of hospitability.
"So what are you doing today, Estel?" Elrohir persisted.
"Riding. Alone." The human was not in the mood to talk, but he didn't want to be rude. Forcing more food into his mouth, he waited for the next question.
"Why do you always have to be alone? No matter. Our sister, Arwen, is coming back today, and you are going to greet her with everybody else." The younger twin looked like his birthday had come early. Arwen was the twin's younger sister. She had been living in Lothlorien with her grandmother, Galadriel, since long before Aragorn had come to Rivendell. Elrond was having a feast in honor of her return.
"Ada never had a feast or celebration for our return," Elladan grumbled, "Whenever we come back, people look like someone has died!" Aragorn snorted. His brother's knew perfectly well why everyone rejoiced having them out of the realm. They were troublemakers and considered menaces by the servants at the palace.
"And what, pray tell, is so amusing?" Elladan questioned suspiciously.
"You," was all Aragorn said in reply.
The whole of Rivendell turned out for the celebration, dressed in their finest. It was an anxious wait, for the road from Lothlorien to Rivendell was perilous, since Orcs roamed the lands and killed all those who crossed their path. As the escort of twenty elves came into view, trumpets took up the call, and the whole crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief. The gates swung open and Aragorn caught his first glimpse of the Evenstar.
At first he could not make a rational thought and just stared. When he was finally able to, the first thing that came to him was: 'What part of Heaven do she fall from?' Beautiful did not begin to describe the being in front of him. Her midnight hair and eyes contrasted wonderfully with her milky complexion. She was graceful, poised, and looked every bit the princess she was. As her kind eyes swept the gathered elves, they bowed down to her, chorusing "Welcome, Princess Arwen Undomiel!" When her dark blue eyes finally rested on her family, the angelic face lit up in a smile. Dismounting, she calmly walked over, happily embracing her father and brothers. Elrond then turned to introduce Aragorn. "My daughter, may I introduce you to Estel. He is an adan we adopted after his parents were killed and he has become one of the family." Bowing, Aragorn muttered a hello. Suddenly, there were fingers under his chin, pulling his head up. Raising his eyes, he met those of Undomiel.
"Do not bow to me Estel, for you are now my brother. It is my pleasure to meet you and only wish that I had come back sooner to watch you grow up." Her voice was like crystal to the human, clear and untainted.
"Oh no you don't," Elrohir grumbled, "He was a complete demon. Hardly ever listened and went wandering off at every hour of the day. Or night!"
"He doesn't sound worse then you two." Arwen jested, turning back to the twins. They blushed bright red and scowled furiously. Arwen chuckled, saying, "Shall we go inside and catch up on lost time?" Her family nodded, and the Elves turned to go. Aragorn dragged behind, wishing more then ever to disappear.
