A/n: set as Arwen is leaving Rivendell in the procession of Elves, in the film.
As I watch the tears grow in her eyes, I know I have persuaded her. Just as I know my own heart breaks as I watch her depart. But I will not let my tears show, for I fear I shall break down, and call her back.
Now the gardens of my house will stand almost silent; so many have left, so few remain. Only those who would not leave still stand with me, they will not abandon this house until the remaining chapter of our lives reaches its bitter conclusion.
And as I see her face, bitter in anguish, and her eyes, accusing, I wish that it was not like this, I wish she would not leave in anger.
