"As ironic as it is for me to say my presence in Imladris would endanger your brother..." whilst he was deep within Elros's city, "...that is the truth. I wonder if I could see it from afar?"
His eyes had not failed him...yet. One of his ears was nearly cut in half (a gift from Morgoth) and at times he found it less capable than his other and then, of course, there were his hands (or lack thereof in the case of the right). His body was failing under the strain he had put it under and he knew he needed to slow down.
The broth went down well. His stomach didn't writhe and try to be rid of it, at least.
"How many?" his voice was breathless with barely concealed joy. His Elros had children! And a wife! He shifted and murmured:
"I fear my hair is a lost cause. Will you cut it short for me? I think I can bathe before I see them."

No, no. The babies would not be kept from him.
