“Elladan there’s no need to be dramatic about it. It was to aid her escape.”

(@ccelebrian - this whole thing is so funny to me.)

"I can't help it." Makes a mildly uncomfortable face. "It is not so much that I do not understand the motive as I dislike others speaking of my ada and grand-naneth as having had romantic... interactions."

Looks to her then, "As if I might have an elder sibling who is also an aunt or uncle kind of relations."

Suddenly smirks a little though he is still trying to look horrified.

Elladan came into Elrohir's room unannounced and flopped down on his twin's bed. He stared at him for a moment before offering the piece of paper he had within his hand.

"I need you to double check my math for me. I was trying to work out what percent of each bloodline we have, since we are not strictly speaking Half Elves." He grinned at Elrohir. "We are half elf by Naneth, but then Ada is over half an elf himself. So, if I have done the math right... We are 1/32 Maia and perhaps 1/5 human. All the rest is Elven kind."

@gilathae ::

a tilt of his head was the only reaction Elrohir gave at first, not alarmed as he'd known the other was coming. he looked over at Elladan, one hand stopping a pile of letters from falling and the other taking the offered piece of paper.

"Hello to you too, Dan. Of course I can- although you'd get better sense from Erestor or Arwen." his tone was dry but the returning grin and fond eyeroll lessened the snark. another look at the paper had Elrohir falling quiet as he worked it out, focusing a moment. "That would sound about right."

[silvercrowned]

“Naneth!!” The small voice cried out in near hysterical tears and fear. “Mommy!!”

Elladan came running into the room, tears streaming down his face as he reached for her. His hair, normally a deep shadow brown, was now a stark white…. At least in streaks and patches.

“Nana…” he sobbed, “I wanted pretty hair like you has…. But I ruined it and Erestor yelled at me for making a mess.”

@gilathae

Celebrían abandoned her paperwork, and rushed to her sons when she heard the screaming, checking him over for injuries.

“Elladan,” she held either side of his face, wiping away the tears, and noting the hair. “Breathe, child.”

"Ada, we have a question for you... Who chose our names? Was it you or Naneth? Elrohir says it has to have been you, cause our names match your name, and the name of your twin. But Naneth says she picked our names."

@gilathae

@gilathae

"Your Nana spoke truly. It was she who picked your names."

There wasn't an easy answer to that question. Not one that wouldn't sound.. bad to the eldest of Lord Elrond's twins. "I would never put any of the Grey Company at unnecessary risk." Herself though? That was a different matter, especially if it was the only way of ensuring everyone stayed alive.

"...What do you know about Dunland?" Hal asked quietly, one hand playing with a black chain that she rarely took off.

[amid-ice-and-snow]

Needless to say Elrohir is currently using his logical head to deal with certain bits of information.

Unlike his twin.

@gilathae

[gilathae]

At this Elladan could not help the light chuckle that burst from his lips and he shook his head, “I am sure you did.  And I am equally certain that ada had those rings cast as far away from Imladris as he was able.

“Are you my ‘real’ grandfather?”

@gilathae

"Depends on who you ask."

[gilathae]

[earendilionimladris]

Happy Father's Day, Ada!

@gilathae

Elrond kissed his son on the cheek. "Thank you."

[gilathae]

Cancelled for not liking your name.

(I know you didn’t reblog the meme but I thought it was funny)

"Cancelled?" Elladan asked in a mildly confused voice. "What does it mean to be cancelled?" He shook his head a little then, "And I love my name. It is a good name that is perfect for me and me alone."

[amidst-snow-and-ice-moved]

the younger elf was relieved, still uncertain if standing was going to be a good idea. well, moving at all didn't feel like a good idea. but he knew Elladan wouldn't even consider them staying there much longer. "Just no jumping or I'll probably pass out on you."

Elrohir nodded slightly, already bracing himself for the lift and knowing that he wasn't going to be a lot of help. not with the way his head was spinning just by sitting up. "At least the ground isn't quite so far away if I do fall." the comment was dry but that wasn't unusual when it came to him.

@gilathae

'Elladan,

Gone for a ride to clear my head. Will be back in a couple of hours.

Elrohir'

except two hours had been and gone without any sign of the younger silver eyed twin or his horse. which wasn't like Elrohir, especially as they were due to go on patrol later that afternoon.

/@amidst-snow-and-ice

Elladan took his time getting ready to go out on patrol, never questioning that Elrohir would return. He knew instinctively that he would know if Elrohir was in trouble or wounded, so he had not noticed right away that his twin had not returned.

Yet, as the time came and went and still no Elrohir, Elladan went to collect his own mount. Years of ranging and tracking married with his internal twin gift told him which direction to head. He did not want to disturb his twin if Elrohir needed time to himself, and yet he was unused to being parted from Rohir and not know the reason behind it.

The young elf comes wandering in and flops down next to his mother, laying his head directly into her lap.

"Nana... I love you."

@gilathae

“I love you too. What have you done this time?”

[admirableringmaker]

“Are you my ‘real’ grandfather?”

@gilathae

"Depends on who you ask."

[sashaofravenlock]

"It's okay, dorthwsg tri," she soothed, stroking his hair as she held him. Elrond's guard would likely be starting their search, with Elrond taking the lead, no doubt. However, with the darkness growing around them, it would be safest to start their return to Imladris rather than wait to be found.

"You are very brave, Elladan, I am so proud of you for keeping yourself safe out here even when you felt scared." She released him from her hold, sitting back slightly and wiping his tears away with her thumbs. Celebrian must be distraught right now, not knowing where her child is and whether or not he was safe.

"You have a good heart, don't ever let anyone tell you differently." Drying his tears once more, she gave him a soft smile and studied his face with catlike eyes. "Now, would you like to pick what type of animal I become so I can get you home?"

The small elfling had given in to his fear as he wandered more and more hopelessly through the dark that had fallen over the land.  Tears had begun to make trails through the dirt on his face as he schooled himself not to cry out.  He knew, even if still somewhere close to Imladris, his cries could bring others.  Orcs or wargs might hear him and come before his father’s guard.

Then he heard something coming quickly through the brush, and his fear caused him to almost give flight.  Just as he was about to run, his small body tensed to spring away, the lady Sasha appeared and grabbed him up intoner embrace.

“I…” he stuttered as he clung to her.  “I wanted to find my daddy’s dad.  But…  but I got lost and…  and I couldn’t find my way back home.”  He sniffed again, arms tight around Sasha as he held onto her.  “I just wanted to find Maglor and bring him home to Ada.”

[gilathae]

“Didn’t.”

Cancelled for not giving your sons mother names.

“I did!”
