After severl days Gimli reached Rivendell and the twins meet him at the gates. Elrohir and Elladan looked at each other as they opened the gates and the dwarf greeted them both warmly.
" It is good to see you again. Now what has happened?"
" It is not for us to tell you, Gimli. Ada would like to speak to you about what happened though. He is in his his study."
Gimli nodded then followed the twins as they led him inside their house. Lord Elrond was waiting for them not surprised the least bit that Gimli had gotten here so quickly. Elrond motioned for them all to sit down and once he was seated he began to tell Gimli what happened.
" Where is Aragorn?"
He asked trying to cover up his emotions, Lord Elrond sighed and turned to the twins.
" He is in his bedroom, come."
Gimli stomped after them trying to match their steps. The dwarf was surprised to see them enter his friend's bedroom without knocking. They went over to Aragorn who was sitting by the window wrapped up in a blanket. Gimli went over and touched his friend's knee.
" Laddie?"
Aragorn looked down then giving his old friend a hug he invited him to sit beside them. They sat there quietly once in a while Gimli would look over at Aragorn and saw him chewing on his lip. No one knew what to say to each other and every once in awhile Aragorn would burry his face in his hands weeping.
" Estel, we will leave you two alone for awhile..."
Elladan said rubbing his brother's shoulder because he knew Aragorn and Gimli needed time alone to talk. Aragorn nodded shivering violently under his blanket and he pulled it closer.
