[Hey, at least for you two, it's only this conversation that's somewhat awkward. Maybe that's why Mufasa doesn't seem awkward at all; he's already gotten used to the looks he gets.]

It is an honor, Lord Celeborn.

[Although-- hm, does he not know of time stilling at home? ... nevertheless, it applies to him regardless, since he already knew he would not be returning home at all. It's with this in mind that he responds.]

Yes... I only hope that they may quickly recover.

[yeah no the hyenas are dicks, they couldn't be happier that he's gone]

Is it alright if I join you two, then? If only for a few moments.
