Today I can rightfully consider myself as the happiest man in Arda. I have been waiting for you for so many years, and now I hold you in my arms. Is this not a wonder? You are so beautiful, ion-nin.
I caress your ear and your nose, and as I look up I see your beautiful mother smile at us. Just like her. Suddenly a wave of protection washes over me and I never want to let you go again.
“He is…”
“Just like you, Estel. But there is someone else who craves for your attention, Ada.”
At my look of surprise she begins to laugh wholeheartedly.
Well, a boy and a girl! I join in her laughter. This is not unheard of in this family.
