A cheap Elf?

Yeah, like Elrond only sending eight people to accompany Frodo to Mordor, and none of them from his household... or maybe like Thingol not wanting to pony up for the Nauglamir!

[Overtaxed]

Yeah...with all that loot the Elves have stockpiled over the years you'd think they'd pay their own way. :)

none of them from his household

Well the only one who was rumored to be going from Elrond's household was Arwen, and you remember how popular that idea was!!
