#7 Wind
He ran into his father's study followed closely by his mother, his little legs trying to keep up with his strides. In his small hands, he held a kite almost the size of him. "Ada," he exclaimed, his gray eyes shining with excitement. "It is windy outside, and you promised we could fly this kite the next windy day!"
His father looked at his wife who smiled back at her husband, then his small son, who eyed his father with a pleading glance and laughed. "I did indeed, Eldarion. Well then, if it is okay with your mother, then we will go now and see how well this kite flies."
Eldarion turned back to his mother. "Nana, can we go? Please!"
Arwen tried to look serious. "I do not know ion nín, that is a pretty big kite, and it is terribly windy outside, you might go flying off instead."
"No, I will not, I am big and strong, just like Adar!" Eldarion said, puffing out his small chest trying to make himself look bigger. Behind him, his father was trying to stifle a laugh.
"Indeed, you are. You are just like your father," Arwen chuckled, her eyes shining proudly at her son. "Very well, you may go, but be back in time for lunch."
Hearing he was allowed to go; he threw himself at his mother hugging her tight. "Thank you! We will be back for lunch, I promise!" He then turned and ran to the door dragging the large kite behind him. "Hurry up Ada, let us go before the wind stops!"
Aragorn gave out a loud laugh and then followed his son.
"Have fun you two and be careful out there," Arwen said as her husband and son left.
"We will love, do not worry. After all, it is me we are talking about here," Aragorn replied giving his wife a lopsided grin.
"Now where have I heard that one before? Oh, that is right, my brothers!" Arwen exclaimed.
Aragorn laughed picking up his son as he left the palace leaving behind an anxious but proud mother who watched from the palace balcony below of a father and son bonding and thinking back on the days she shared with her father.
Oh Adar, how I miss you.
