Well she had to blame someone and the poor horse just would not have understood, so Elladan it was!

As you say different people handle grief different ways, Elrond was probably working on the premise that he had one child back with him, one child he would not see until the Remaking and one waiting on the sidelines as it were, who would be returned in time and Elves have all the time they need and then some! A bit cynical I know, but such is life.

Must go and reread Jay's story.
