"Mithrandir" he cried, joining Elrond in greeting the wandering wizard. "How goes it with you? It has been long since we have met. We were just discussing how to request your presence here." His gaze darted down to Gandalf's hand. "And how," he said, in a quieter voice, "is Narya? My hand feels empty without its Ring. But it was well given, for I know much of what you have achieved with its power. Elrond is not alone in being far-sighted."
