{Upon hearing that the Elven King is present, Aragorn wonders how long it will be until they speak. Clearly he doesn't have to wait long. His eyes widen and he inclines his head respectfully, waiting for Thranduil to have his say. One does not interrupt a King - even if one happens to be a King (in the making) themselves.}

If my absence is not noted, I shall let myself be calm. {His voice is soft but steady. Should he choose to speak louder, it is likely clear to Elvish ears that he has the ability - capability, rather - to command and put strength into the hearts of Men who quake in fear.}

I shall follow Legolas wherever he leads. He has been too long without the companionship of Gimli and myself.
