[Anakin is nursing a burned leg - thanks, fire - looking like his usual peppy, happy self.]

Eclipse, leave it alone. [He shows a curious cat sniffing said leg and coaxes it into his lap. Another cat, one that is smaller, with a face that is almost too adorable for words follows in Eclipse's dainty footsteps, laying over Anakin's leg. There. That's better, right?]

Thank you, Ravager. [No, really. This is the terrifying Darth Vader. With a pair of sweet cats.]

I swear this is the last I do for you, Hadriel. Unless there is a burning building filled with cats, you are on your own.

[Cats > People. Obviously.]

Hux? Are you alive? [That's a nice way of checking on someone, right?] Maedhros? Fingon? What about you?

Worrying is a sister's duty, Anakin. So you will have to pardon me for wanting to visit with you to ensure it's properly cleaned and bandaged.

[Because she knows how stubborn you are.]

No harm done beyond some singed clothing. My home was spared from the flames, and since it is low and smoke rises, I stayed in for much of the fire.

The door is open to you anyway. [If she can handle being inspected by cats!] I promise I won't let it get infected and fall off.

Good. [He grins.] You didn't charge into it like I did.

I will hold you to that promise, you know.

[She's fine with cats. She has two monster-kitties of her own. One looks like a cross between a cat and a miniature dragon, and the other is a cyclops kitty that sparkles, especially when it's happy. Anakin's cats will smell monster-cat and perfume on her.]

My talents are decidedly less useful for dealing with a raging wildfire than they are for dealing with monsters running amok.

Me too! It doesn't sound like a fun one to break.

[He's totally fine with monster-kitties! As long as they don't eat his normal kitties. Little Ravager especially would be in danger.]

Same. But I went out anyway. I thought I could move some of the rubble with the Force. It worked well enough until I caused a chain reaction.

No, and a peg leg would suit you even less than pink hair did.

[Her two are pretty chill, albeit demanding for attention and playful. They definitely won't attack his cats, but she keeps hers as indoor cats for the most part. She doesn't want to chance one of them running into the caverns.]

Perhaps we should have worked together to deal with the flames. I could have cut up enough of the earth to give you something to smother the flames with.

[Hindsight is truly 20/20.]

I looked handsome with the pink hair and you can't deny it.

[He needs to meet them. Why hasn't he? What has he been doing with his life besides descending into further despair and madness? Clearly he needs to hug the cyclops kitty.]

Too late to do it now. [But...] I don't mind that you stayed put. It kept you safe.

[elegant_and_proud]

I cannot? Truly?

[Her tone changes from teasing to something softer at the rest of his words.]

I am unaccustomed to people worrying about my safety...but I don't mind it, either.

[prophesiedone]

Nope. It's a rule now.

[He grins and the expression is almost charming.]

You shouldn't. I'm not worried about you handling yourself; it's just...

If you don't have to be in danger, why bother?

[elegant_and_proud]

And I am so very good at following rules.

[By which she means, she ignores any rules that she feels like.]

There were people who had taken such care in preparing for a potential fire. It seemed best to leave it to the experts.

[prophesiedone]

So am I!

[I'm just going to sum that up with LOL.]

Curufin and his brigade are a welcome addition. He was right in thinking fires would be devastating in a closed off cavern.
