[He is like a caged beast, moving restlessly indoors while the wind howls at his doors and windows. Anakin has never done well alone, but he's afraid to live with anyone.]

How can anyone stand this planet? [Gripping his mechno-hand into a tight fist, he breathes deeply, trying to calm the anger he feels almost constantly.] What needs to be done? I'm strong; I'm powerful - I can help.

[Anything is better than being stuck with his memories.]

I'm Anakin Skywalker, by the way, and I think I've been here before.

I've made droids, repaired droids, worked on ships... All of that includes a lot of metal. [He looks cautious, but curious.] He won't mind? Or is he one of the ones missing?

That was my understanding, yes.

[The details of any of it, alas, are lost on him. Go not to the Nolofinweans for counsel on matters of metal, all they can tell you is how well such things work as sharp pointy objects.

Fingon shakes his head.]

Curufin has departed, and I do not think he will return. And I doubt he would deny you if he was here to ask.

Thank you. [He doesn't fully understand Fingon's kindness towards him.] You've done a lot for me. I don't know why, but I am grateful.

I am strong; if you need help, you can call for me.

You're welcome, but it is truly no trouble. I could do very little with the place by myself, after all.

[And it's easier to be kind than not, as well.

Suddenly his brow furrows slightly as an idea occurs to him. Switching over the channel to private, he continues]

Although if you would enjoy helping with an afternoon's project, I could use the assistance of someone more gifted with metal than I.

Sure. What do you have in mind? [He can't help leaning in closer, conspiratorially.] Are you making a weapon?

Not quite. I'm attempting to recreate a set of defenses. The wards I use now are made from the Music- but they will fade in time, without more singers to maintain them. And I cannot afford to keep them as they are on my own- there are others I need to keep safe.

[He'll buttress the ones on Sansa's home and the ones on Margaery's shop- but if he's living alone he's the last priority.]

I'm good at that - you're in luck. [Music, though. His brow furrows in confusion, but he doesn't ask.] You'll have the safest home in Hadriel.

Then you have my thanks, Anakin.

[This is how everyone else feels about the Force, Anakin.]

Hmm- I would prefer not to need that much, all things considered. But if the Null ever return, I would prefer to have preparations in place than not.
