(Housework is rather boring, but it needs to be done. Celebrimbor is setting the rather chaotic mostly-Fëanorian house to rights, frowning faintly at the odd bits and ends he comes across. There really is no explaining his father and uncles, but he loves them dearly.)

Man cerig?

(Of course the shoe in the bathroom has no answer for him. Tutting, he picks it up and tries to determine which of his family members it belongs to. And, more importantly, why there is only one of them.

Quite the mystery! What? Not every day can be filled with sorrow and wonder and madness! Though Celebrimbor's day is about to become a little more complicated based on the playful chitter that follows.)

Elbereth above! What are you? (No, he has never seen a raccoon and this one is rather...large. And animated! But who can blame her - definitely a her - when Celebrimbor spies two little faces peeking out of a cabinet.)

...ah... I think I might need assistance.

(Celebrimbor does his best to not look utterly shocked in her presence. He does have some pride.

Somewhere.)

Any mother is dangerous if she feels her babes are being threatened.

There are babies in there?

[She didn't know a lot about wild animals after a lifetime in a palace. She peered at the cabinet, stepping slightly in the room just a little.]

Two by my count and newly born. (He steps between Anne and the mother just in case there is any misunderstanding. Inside the cabinet, two little pink raccoon pups are snuffling and yawning.)

Is there anything they need? [She wanted to come closer but was a little wary. She didn't want to startle the mother or the babies.]

There is some bread in the kitchen, would that do?

Food... Water... A new place to call their own. I can build one. (Close to the house, he thinks. That way they feel the same protection.)

Bread would be a good start, yes.

(He speaks soft Elvish as he opens the cabinet a little more, smiling.)

You did well, little lady. (The mother quickly climbs into the space to nestle her young.)

I think we have a box somewhere,if I get some blankets that may work? [She left to go into the kitchen to gather food, filling up a bowl with water before coming back in carefully so she didn't spill it.]

here, the bread should be fresh.

Temporarily. (He smiles after her, giving her a kiss on her cheek when she returns.) I will build them a home. Until then, they can be our guests.

(He tears off a piece of the bread, ensuring it's not too hot before offering it to the mother.)

[She blushed brightly, watching him feed the babies.]

I will help as much as I can. They are too cute to be on their own.

(He is gentle and patient, leaning down to be face to face with the mother and her pups. See? No danger. Just yummy bread and friendship.)

I like them. Uncle says they are common on Arda amongst the Hobbits.
