"Suilaid! Glassen chen govaded". The appearance of a tall blond on a horse followed the spoken greeting. He dismounted the mighty white stead and approached the group, bowing slightly with a smile. "I am Glorfindel and you have entered the realm of Imladris. How may I assist you?"
Thank you! My companions and I are on a journey to the Withered Heath. We are bringing a gift to the great dragon Smaug.
The day grows late. I wonder if we might stay at Rivendell for this night. My husband Peregrin Took has told me many stories about the wonders of Imladris and of the legendary hospitality of the elves. I have so longed to see this lovely place! My companions have come from great lands, far away. iolaus_lj is a champion of goodness in his homeland, and a companion to gods. The other, trickster_loki, is likewise as great, or even greater still, for all that he only ever winks and smiles at me when I ask him to tell me of his history.
Glorfindel's eyebrows raised when he heard her explanation. "So, you are the lass that won Master Pippin, are you?" he said with a wry grin. "A very fun and mischevious hobbit he is. Of course, you may join us for the night and longer if that is your wish. I cannot fathom why you would wish to visit the dragon, but everyone had their own reasons for their quests." He looked at them and motioned with a toss of his golden head. "Follow me, if you please."
Glorfindel led them through a twisting path near the Bruinen and finally over the large stone bridge, nodding at the two sentries who stood guard.
As they approached the house, a tall, imposing figure stood in the entry waiting. Glorfindel looked up and smiled. "Look Erestor, we have visitors. This is the wife of Master Pippin, come to grace us with her lovely presence."
The group moved up the main stairs in the center of the house and past the belltower to the eastern wing of the house. Moving down one hall, Erestor stopped before closed doors. "I will put you three here in this wing together so that you may visit as you will. Each room has a bath fed by a hot spring system that provides a full tub of hot water at all times and there are linens and toiletries provided. Please feel free to use anything that you find there and ask for whatever you are lacking." Erestor directed Loki to the first door, Iolus to the second and Diamond to the third. He knelt before Diamond with a smile. "This was the room that Master Pippin used when he was here and I always make certain he has it each time. I thought perhaps it would comfort you to have it during your visit. There is both a large bed and a hobbit size one inside - please use whichever suits you best

"I do hope we will have the joy of your company at dinner," he said as Erestor turned to leave. Smiling, Glorfindel bowed to all three and left with Erestor.

Ever the charming diplomat...when it suited him, of course...Loki smiled to the elves and bowed slightly, "Diola lle, melloneamin. Your hospitality is greatly appreciated."
He proceeded to enter his rooms and make use of the amenities provided rather quickly so as to have more time to poke around Imladris before dinner.
