So close!

[tiny_elros]

Elros: *hears a noise outside at home and peeks out the door*

Noise: *further out in the dark*

Elros: *wanders off after it*

Noise: *is Dagnir yowling for lady cats*

Elros: *picks Dagnir up* hi!


Dagnir: !! *remembers his vow not to speak to anyone but his bosses anymore and sort of dangles in Elros' arms, more cat than Elros can carry easily*

Elros: *walks back home dragging Dagnir*

Maglor: *asleep; needs beauty rest*

Elros: *throws Dagnir onto Maglor and climbs up on top*

Dagnir: *why is this happening to me, but won't hurt a kid*

Maglor: *incoherent half curse* What the-- !?

Elros: I found a beast!

Dagnir: *trying to escape*

Elros: *grabs Dagnir tight*

Dagnir: o____o *legs sticking out all akimbo*

Maglor: *groans* Elros...

Elros: it sings!

Maglor: It does not...

Elros: it does! *imitates Dagnir's yowls*

Dagnir: *wince*

Maglor: *also winces* Shouldn't you be asleep, Elerossë?

Elros: I was just out following the noise. *drapes Dagnir over his shoulder like a stuffed toy*

Dagnir: *half-attempt to flee*

Elros: *GRIP*

Maglor: Mmm... Sleep now, baby.

Elros: I want to keep it!

Maglor: He belongs to someone already...

Elros: who!

Maglor: I don't know, but he has a collar.

Elros: *peers at it and sounds it out* Dagnir

Elros: he belongs to Dagnir?

Maglor: Prolly his name is that... *seriously considering nightcapping the kid*

Elros: your name is Killer! It should be Fluffy!

Dagnir: *feline sigh, turns a 'save me!' expression on Maglor*

Maglor: Okay, Elros, time to let the kitty go outside and find its owner...

Elros: *HUGE SAD EYES*

Dagnir: *wigglewiggl-GASP as Elros tightens his grip even more*

Maglor: *closes his eyes* His owner will be very sad to have lost him.

Elros: *sniffs, utterly heartbroken* but he loves me and he was all alone!

Dagnir: *was trying to get lucky, thank you*

Maglor: He was probably hunting...

Elros: but he would have scared everything away with his singing!

Maglor: We'll find you a new pet later...

Elros: but I want this one, Ada! *crying*

Dagnir: *help help help help*

Maglor: *sits up, rubbing his forehead* Oh Elros...

Elros: please! *tiny elf tantrum*

Maglor: No. He isn't stray.

Elros: you hate me!

Maglor: Enough, Elros. You know that is not true.

Elros: *glares and turns his head*

Dagnir: *manages to slip free, like a cat ninja and makes for the window*

Elros: FLUFFY!

Dagnir: *hops up and is gone in a puff of grey fluffy tail*

Elros: ;_;

Maglor: *motions for Elros to sit by him*

Elros: *refuses and cries*

Maglor: *coaxing tone* Elros...

Elros: *sniffs and turns to grab onto Maglor's shoulders*

Maglor: *cuddle*

Elros: can I get a pet?

Maglor: Perhaps sometime.

Elros: *sniffs and curls up against Maglor, then yawns hugely*

Maglor: *kisses his hair*

Elros: *asleep*

Maglor: *carries him back to his room and tucks in*

Elros: *hugs a stuffed toy in his sleep*

Maglor: *cute*
