Comforting

Rumil handed Aragon down to Lord Elrond before he dismounted. The child's innocent question had broke hie heart. How could they tell this child that his parents were dead? That hed never see them again in this life?

"Mamma! Where is mamma??" Aragorn broke away from Elrond.

Elrond knelt in front of the boy and took him into his arms.

"Your mother has gone to see Mandos pen-neth." Elrond ran his fingers though Aragorn's hair trying to comfort.

"Daddy to?" Aragorn laid his head on the elf lord's shoulder as he started to cry.

"Aye."

Rumil felt his heart go out to the pair on the ground holding each other and crying. Elrond felt as if he had lost his family all over again and in a way he had. His brother had started the family line that produced Aragorn. These people were kin, for they had Elros's blood in their veins. Aragorn clung to the elf sobbing as his five year old heart was shattered. His whole world was gone, just like that it had been snatched from him.

"Who will love me? Take care of me? Chase the monsters away?" Aragorn asked in between sobs.

"I promised your mother I would take care of you and i will. My sons and I will love you, care for you and keep pesky monsters away." Elrond said as he stood cradling Aragorn to his chest.

Rumil fell into step behind Elrond as they went to the the healing quarters. Glorfindel was standing outside where they were preparing the bodies. Elladan and Elrohir were watching their father questioningly. After tucking Aragorn into bed and making sure he was asleep Elrond went out and embraced his sons. Rumil couldn't take anymore. Turning on his heel he literaly ran to the rooms he shared with Glorfindel. Collapsing on the bed he cried as he realized how close to death he'd come and it just now hit him. It would have distroyed his brothers to lose him after such a trivial fight. He heard the door open and he instictivly cuddled next to Glorfindel as he sat down on the bed. Glorfindel knew what his lover was feeling and thinking for at one time he had felt it to. Having a close brush with death never really sinks in untill you die or you see something like what Rumil saw that day. Glorfindel simply held Rumil and he let him cry out his pain and grief. After awhile Rumil fell asleep and glorfindel tucked him into bed. after finding Haldir and Orophin to sit with their brother Glorfindel left to see if Elrond needed his help.
