It took him far longer than he had any right to take at his age to notice the presence of his father. The soft rustle of robes was the only thing that alerted the younger twin to the other as he sat near him. Angling his head back, he smiled a tiny, apologetic smile that curled the corners of his lips and creased his brow ever so slightly. "Mae govannen, ada..."
He felt he could at least have the decency to look ashamed for his absent behavior. He did, after all, miss meals and did not greet his father as he should on arrival.
Brushing his long hair behind his ears, he let his eyes drift back to the running waters of the Bruinen. His eyes lingered long on the way the water tripped over rocks in the water while he carefully sorted his thoughts. Elrohir wanted more than anything to just talk to his father about this, but knew that it was not that simple. What would his father think of the thoughts he now entertained and longed to follow after?
Would he accept his son's wishes or forbid them? Elrohir refused to see his father in a negative light, but he knew he could not stand the other being disappointed either. "Did you happen upon me, or did you seek me out?" His voice came soft and happy, a light touching his eyes at the thought that Elrond would seek him out just to check on him even if it was a near elfling notion.
