"I would rather have her that way than trying to kill my daughter," he whispered and looked to Ithilwen. "Nimmir will tell my father that I need to be excused for a few weeks, maybe months... we'll leave as soon as Nimmir can get you home cleared, along with affairs."

Ithilwen didn't respond. She was in a daze, still. Elrond shook his head. "Let her sleep," he said. "She'll be doing that a lot, now. Her body is weak. Oh, and as soon as she wakes up, cram as much food down her throat as she'll allow. And do that three times a day, until you can't count her ribs anymore." He shook his head again.

Glauron nodded. "Will she fear me, m'lord?" he asked softly, looking at his dazed wife. "It... hurt hurt that she was afraid of me, when she could fight back, but when she just clings and yields..." He shook his head and went over to Ithilwen and drew her in his arms.

Ithilwen gasped at the touch, but clung to him and buried herself in his embrace. "I hope not," Elrond said. "She shouldn't, but may for brief moments."

Elrond nodded. "You can leave as soon as it can be arranged," he said, looking at Ithilwen with pity. And great sadness. But mostly anger. He was remembering his wife, and wondering if Ithilwen would share her fate. "I'll try and speed up the progress, but it will probably take a month or so." He shook his head. "But I'll talk with your father, see what can be done."

"Thank you," he whispered and looked up at the Lord. He was nothing like he had thought of him for years. "I need to spend some time with her, if you wouldn't mind?"

He nodded. "Of course," he said, motioning for all to leave. They did, with one last look at Ithilwen.
"Take care of her, Glauron," one of the twins said, and then it was just Glauron and Ithilwen left in the room.

"I will," he whispered and kissed her. "Go to sleep," he told his wife, and sat her down on their bed. "You look tired."

She nodded. Silently, she curled up and did as she was told, almost instantly falling asleep.
