She gave him a short kiss and left to find Elrond. She found him arguing with Mithrandir about who should go on the quest.
"Ah, my lady," Elrond said, "Come in."
"My lord, I have no opinion in this. I will not counsel either way, for I do not want to see Glorfindel, or any others of this house, leave, nor do I want harm to befall the two youngest halflings. I do need to speak with you about my own business. It is quite urgent." Cimorene said, and she excused herself from the room.
After about ten minutes, Elrond came out of the room. "What did you need to talk to me about?"
"Elrond, Linhir is back."
"I know I talked to him a while ago. Isn't that grand? Both of my best healers are back."
"No, it's not grand. I want him gone, banished from Imladris."
"I will not send him away. I need all of my healers, especially you two."
"If you will not send him away, then I will take Tyrian and leave. I love Glorfindel, but whether he comes with me, or stays here, does not matter. I will be gone by nightfall."
