"Adar, what is the matter with Estel?" Even though Elves had the power of healing, they didn't get sick themselves and so neither Elladan nor Elrohir knew what it was like to have the flu or the cold. Estel had been in bed for most of the days and didn't have much of an appetite or energy for playing. His fever was still high which was worrying the Elf-lord a little. There was only so much his own healing could do; Estel's body would have to take of the rest and Elrond hoped that the child would get better.
"Estel has the flu Elrohir; it is a common illness amongst men. It's nothing serious, he will get better soon." he told his son and Elrond wasn't quite sure who he was trying to convince; Elrohir or himself.

"Estel, would you like a story? Adar says you can have an extra bedtime story if you like and I know you like the ones about dragons and brave knights."
Estel shook his head and buried his face in the pillows.
"Want my nana." (Mother) he said
At this, Elrohir blinked and looked at his twin. In the two years that Estel had been with them, he had never mentioned his mother; Gilraen. Not once. They had simply thought that maybe he did not remember her but perhaps they'd been wrong about that.
"Estel, would you like us to get Adar?" Elrohir asked carefully and quietly because quite frankly neither he nor Elladan knew quite what to do. They had never seen him ill before and it worried them because normally Estel had lots of energy that seemed to never run out and even if he was annoying at time he was still their brother. They loved him. Seeing Estel upset like this hurt more than they had thought it could.
"No!" Estel protested and punched the pillows much like toddlers did when they were unhappy and upset. "Want my nana! Why isn't she here?"
By now, the four year old was bawling his eyes out and Elladan picked him up in his arms; it was tearing him apart to see his brother like this.
"Estel, Muindor nin. You are not yet old enough to understand but your mother left you here because she loves you very much and because this is where you are safe." he told him "But even if your mother is not here, we are. We are you family and we will always look out for you and make sure you are always safe."
Estel looked up at the two elves in front of him and dried his tears. "Love you 'Dan. Love you 'Ro."
Elrohir couldn't help but to smile. "And we love you too very much, little brother. Now how about that story?"
"I want to hear about Smaug!"
"Ah," said Elrohir "Now that we can arrange."
