Amras woke with a gasp and looked around as he took deep breaths. He swallowed hard and curled up more in bed. He looked up slightly as the door opened and Celegorm was standing on the other side.

"Are you alright? I heard a scream," Celegorm said as he came in. Amras just shook his head and buried his head into his knees. Celegorm sighed a little and went to sit down next to his brother.

"I figure you are tired of everyone asking you if you're fine or not. Yet, we care about you so...man I had an idea of what to say but I lost it. Mamil was far better at this stuff then any of us. Well, Kano and Nelyo are pretty good at it." Celegorm said. "Wait. Just nevermind and forget everything. Just know we care."

Amras gave a weak smile before it faded as he leaned a little against him. Celegorm just smiled and put an arm around him. "Hey. Tomorrow I am going to take on a small hunting trip. I will be dragging Curvo along as well so that would be fun. I guess Nelyo will have to stay here to make sure Atar and our step-uncle don't kill each other."

"Turko. I don't want to go out," Amras said horsley.

"You have to or at least you should try to," Celegorm replied as he looked at him with a look of concern. Amras just shook his head and pulled his legs closer to himself.

"Come on Amras, can you just try to come with us? Just one hour then we'll come back here." Said Celegorm.

"If...if I say yes, will you leave me alone after?" Amras asked looking up at him. His face was a bit empty of emotion.

"Very well," Celegorm said with a nod. Amras didn't reply as he curled back up and Celegorm sighed as he wrapped an arm around his little brother. It hurt to see him like this, it hurt everyone to see him like this. How could they make up what Amras had lost at the burning of the ships. He lost not only a brother but his twin, a piece of himself.

Celegorm looked up as the door opened a bit more and he smiled a bit when he saw Huan poke his head in. He smiled and singled him over and the white hound came over, gently jumping onto the bed and going to curl up in front of them. He nuzzled his head against Amras's arm and the younger elf looked up and grabbed the wolf hound in a tight hug.

The next morning Amras rode quietly after Celegorm, Curufin, Aredhel, as well as Glorfindel and Ecthelion. It was a larger group then Amras would have liked to be around but he didn't have much of a choice. He just followed after them and sighed softly as he rode. He wanted to leave and go away from them. He didn't look up as Celegorm dropped back to ride beside him.

"So. How's everything?" He asked.

Amras just shook his head and rode silently. Celegorm sighed and reached over and patted his back then contiued on silently. Amras looked up as there was a low crunching, he looked around and shouted. "ORCS!"
