Drabbles: Elves through the Ages

“You will find him changed; you might not even recognize him from my description,” Elrond cautioned his daughter.

Arwen glared at her father. As if she would not recognize her foster-brother… She might have not seen him very often, spending most of her time in Lothlórien. But not recognize him? Unthinkable.

“Don’t make such a fuss, ada,” she retorted. “Of course I will know him.”

When Aragorn stood in front of her, she did recognize him. She knew she would recognize him anywhere, anytime. And that was a change that made her catch her breath in a deep, surprised gasp.
