(I'm acting as if the infodump parts of the book version of the Council happened even though we didn't RP them, and yes, I am making some small assumptions here)

"I refuse to bear it. I admit I am frightened by the risks of doing so, and would not put such a terrible burden on anyone's shoulders unless they volunteered. I will thus not try to make anyone else do it, only make recommendations. It is a given that none of us with great magical powers should carry it, which would be Lords Elrond and Glorfindel, and our wizard friend. It would also be very unwise to give it to either of the Gondorians-"(Boromir and Eldacar look offended)"-though I am sure you are both men of quality, you both advocated using the ring as a weapon. It'd probably corrupt you easily in your direct possession. I am sure you can prove useful to Lord Aragorn here, if he decides to go south. In fact, I wouldn't mind the assistance of you three gentlemen, myself, along the way, until our paths diverged. There are only two persons I would actually recommend, and they are our Southron here, who has prior experience with these kinds of things and is wary of them, or the one who has already brought it this far. This is the advice I give the Council, and my sword serves whoever it is you choose. I myself shall rest my voice now."
