She's -

She's fine. She's alive. [But she doesn't trust him and she actually seems a little scared of him.] I'm giving her space.

That is a blessing.

I have some leftover carcasses, if you want to make her something from them? Or we could go search for something else? Kano and I did some exploring when we first were moved above ground, but I would not mind exploring further afield.

[Anakin responds well to Maedhros's kindness. He always has because their experiences are remarkably similar.]

I just - I think she might like flowers better. [Though the idea of bringing her a whole carcass is a little funny.] Could we? Explore, I mean.

{There's a grin in Maedhros' voice, and a little chuckle.}

We can search for flowers for her too. I will let Kano and the rest know, then meet you to the west of the city?

Works for me. [He falters before adding, softer:] Thank you.

[For...a lot of things.]

I will see you soon, my friend. {softly} You are welcome.

{He doesn't really have anyone he needs to inform about his absence, so he feeds the cats, makes sure they can get out if they need to and heads out. His cloak provides him some protection from the bright light, but he grimaces nonetheless. It's hard to be in a good mood when he feels so...lost. And hopeless.

A distraction is very much needed and he relaxes upon seeing Maedhros.]

Hey. How do you like our new home?

{Maedhros tells his family as promised then went to meet Anakin. First thing he does is reach out to pull the Man in for a hug, smiling down at him.}

It is good to see the sun again. Though I confess to hoping to see the stars at some point soon!

[He breathes a little easier, returning the embrace after a brief pause. Maedhros is a good friend and he feels like he can forgive himself a little in his presence.]

I would too. I miss the stars, though, technically, the sun is a star too.

{The Elf keeps an arm loosely around Anakin and gets them moving away from the city. He grins.}

The suns you are familiar with may be stars, but the one I know is a flower guided by one of the Maiar. As is the Moon, by another.

...flowers? Really? [He tries to imagine a flower that big - much less, two flowers that big!] Are you making up stories now?

{Maedhros laughs.}

I would not lie to you! Arien guides the Sun and Tilion the Moon, for the flowers are all that are left of the Trees who once lit my world, before they were destroyed.

The Trees? They must have been gigantic! [Somehow that word doesn't even seem to do them justice.] Did you see them? Who destroyed them?

They were magnificent! But they blocked out the stars. I think there is more balance in the sky with the Sun and Moon as they came to be, despite the destruction and suffering wrought in the process.

{The Elf nudges him companionably.} You know how there is a light about me and my kin? That is from us having been born while the Trees shone in Valinor. Elrond's light is lesser than ours, as he was born after their deaths.

And it was Morgoth's doing which destroyed them.

I'm sorry you lost them. [Morgoth sounds like he needs his ass handed to him. Several times over.] So that explains it. I thought it had something to do with your power.

[Technically, it does, he guesses. He grins at the nudge, reaching for Maedhros's prosthetic hand to check over it in return.]

You just let me know if this Morgoth ever shows up. I don't mind giving him a pounding.
