Elladan smiled, for Elrond to allow even a small party was some feat! He gazed around the group assembled, many men united. The Elf was pleased, so many people from so many places yet all seem together somehow. He placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, just to make sure that it was still there.
In his heart Elladan was pleased, the strengths of men, coupled with that of the Elves would be an unbeatable force, a purge to all who are unfortunate to stand in their path. He wandered away from his brother into the huddle of men gathered there.
He saw one man, looking as though his mind was elsewhere, deep in thought. Elladan recalled his name as being Eirian. He walked softly up to the ranger, then nodded in polite greeting, "A star shines on the hour of our meeting, well met my friend". He said half in Elvish and half in the the tongue of men.
