[namo]

There is a dazed, much out-of-it Vala in the bar.

Seated in a booth, nursing a glass of Atlantean, he is staring off into nothing. Not brooding. Not pensive. Just... a bit off.

He would not mind distraction and company, though.

Elrond nods, thoughtfully.

"And is it working? Will you be staying here among us?"

[namo]

He thinks about Gorlim and Lee, about Nerdanel and the child... Random and Ramon... Asar-Suti... and he smiles.

"Yes. I am adapting, and I have no intention of leaving Milliways for quite some time. At least, not permanently. I return to Aman for brief visits, but I do not remain long."

[elrond-healer.livejournal.com]

He nods.

"Good. It is odd to see you here but it is also good I think. I hope that you will find this place grows easier for you. I find I still miss my family, but if it were not for that, this place might be a home to me.""

[namo]

"I have made a family here from those I have met. I am not afforded such things in Aman. Family is often taken for granted by the Elves and Men -- something they believe they are owed or find so easy to create. While this place cannot be a home to me, it can be something very near to it."

[elrond-healer.livejournal.com]

Elrond nods.

"I hope it may indeed be so then. Family is precious, and something to treasure. I hope that yours always endures."

[namo]

He smiles.

"I am dedicated to making certain it endures. I find myself much changed, and I like who and what I have become. So, I will take any measure necessary to keep what I have found."

[elrond-healer.livejournal.com]

"As would I, in your place. Such is part of being in a family. Or so I have found it. If I may, I will take my leave of you now, my Lord. I am invited to a gifting gathering and must prepare.

[namo]

Námo nods.

"I hope you have a lovely evening, Elrond."

And he returns his gaze to his barely touched glass of Atlantean.
