"It is, most assuredly." He nodded at that then smiled just a little at his brother. "But even then, do not forget that I will return to your side." Who else would care for his brother in his place?
Angling his head at the stranger, he watched him silently a moment brow furrowing just slightly. He wondered. A peculiar thought of whispers of the past as his brother mentioned their grandparents.
But the refusal to share a name caused him to frown further at the other individual. One hand moved to softly clasp his brother's wrist as he spoke quiet but firm. "Where there is power in a name, the fear of revealing it says much of the one that has much to hide."
Perhaps it is his protectiveness of Elladan, but he does not like this situation. "Do you have something to hide?" He asked in a curious tone, erring on the side of caution so he doesn't sound too much like one with their guard up. Not that his words did not give that away already.
