A/N: Okay! Sincere apologies for taking such a long time to
update the other fics and the last few chapters. Unfortunately, I've
learned that my source of elvish is not entirely acurate.
I'm
considering adding a little romance to this story... LothwingxElrohir
LothírielxElladan... But I'm not sure, so please review and
tell me if I should add that.There will be a little hinted romance,
but that's all.

Elrohir: Elven Bunny does not
own Endorenna. Hey, what is an Elven Bunny anyway? I've never seen
any rabbits that looked particularily elven, have you, 'Dan?
Elladan:
-smirks- No, I haven't. In one of the stories that she was writing
there was an elven kitty, though, remember?
Elrohir: Oh,
yes, that was the one that fetched us to get Lothwing and Lothíriel
out of the well, wasn't it?
Chapter Six
Part one of the Tyuru Canad set.
Elrohir sighed and started down the steps, his boots making soft taps on the stone. He quickly made his way to Elladan's room, and knocked on the door.
"Come in," his twin called. Elladan was sketching something, but Elrohir didn't see what it was.
"Elladan, do you know where Lothwing and Lothíriel are?"
Elladan set his sketch pad down and thought for a few seconds. "A while ago Lothíriel told me that she was going to the stables. Lothwing is probably with her."
"Thanks, and we have to set the table for tea-time."
"I'll go out there with you to check."
The twins dashed up the steps together and into the hallway. Elrohir kept going, but Elladan stopped and opened a window.
" 'Dan, what're you doing?" Elrohir asked, running back to him.
By means of explanation Elladan threw one leg over the sill and gave him a little wave. "This is quicker."
Elrohir grinned and rolled his eyes, then followed his example. The two landed on the ground with cat-like grace, then started on their way to the stables.
When they arrived there, Lothwing was standing in the shadow of the roof. She had two kittens cradled in her arms: one pale grey, the other dark brown. "Aren't they darling?" she greeted. "So cute, and tiny, and curious!"
Elrohir cautiously petted the grey one's fluffy forehead, and relaxed visibly.
"What was that all about?" Lothwing asked.
"Oh, nothing..." Elrohir looked slightly embarressed. "Well, actually, Ada said that the first cats came from Mordor. I mean, these little house cats wouldn't hurt... Well, these little house cats are 'good', so to speak, but the first ones were bad an' all..."
Lothíriel came out of the stable bearing two more kittens. One white, one orange.
"Suilaid, Lothíriel," greeted Elladan with a smile. "I see you've brought more kittens?"
"Hold that," said Lothíriel. She handed him the kittens and brushed off her breeches. "I like cats. They're good housepets."
"Pets?" asked Elladan, looking a little lost. He shifted his grip on one of the kittens, and it climbed up his shoulder to nestle under his ear. It started to purr, putting a goofy smile on Elladan's face.
"Pets," said Lothwing firmly. "They're clean, quiet (most of the time), sweet, and just listen to that purr!"
Elrohir's kittens had started to purr too, joining the quartet.
"I think we should keep them," Elladan said to Elrohir.
"So do I, but Ada wouldn't let us," Elladan replied, looking sad. Lothíriel hid a smile, and suggested, "Maybe you can think about it for a while."
"Oh!" said Elladan, and hit his head with his hand. "We were supposed to go set the table for tea-time!"
"We'll do that," said Lothwing quickly. "You two just try to think of a way to keep those kittens."
"That's right," agreed Lothíriel. The two sisters waved goodbye, and started to skip to the kitchens.
"Let's go to the gardens," suggested Elrohir. "I always do my best thinking there."
"Alright," Elladan agreed. He gave a little yelp as the grey kitten jumped onto his free shoulder.
Elrohir sighed as they started on the path to the gardens. "I wonder what we can do to convince Ada."
Elladan shrugged and almost lost a kitten.
The twins wandered into the garden, and ran smack dab into a tall, lithe, golden-haired form.
"Glorfy, catch them!" Elrohir yelled as he hit the stony
ground. The poor kittens flew into the air, where Glorfindel swiftly
caught them.
Elladan's kittens leaped onto his chest and dug in
their claws when he hit the ground, making mewling noises and
checking to see if he was alright.
"Oops," said Elrohir, taking his kittens back from the Balrog Slayer. "We weren't watching where we were going."
Elladan groaned and sat up. The kittens leaped back to his shoulders.
"Are you all right?" asked Glorfindel. He helped Elladan up. "What're the kittens about?"
"We want to keep them, but we can't because Ada doesn't like cats," Elrohir explained.
"You could keep them in your room," suggested Glorfindel. "Your father doesn't poke around in their very often, does he?"
"No, he doesn't," said Elladan, an expression of delight spreading across his face.
"Hold that," Elrohir said, gently setting his kittens into Glorfindel's grip. He then started to danced around in circles with Elladan.
"Wait- what do kittens eat anyway?" Elladan pondered. He let go of Elrohir's hands, and his twin crashed into a bush.
"You could try cheese," Glorfindel suggested.
"Perfect!" the twins shouted together. Elrohir pulled all of the twigs out of his unruly black hair, then retrieved his kittens. The twins bowed to Glorfindel, then started to skip to their rooms.
Glorfindel turned around and began on his way to the smithy's, an evil smile hovering on his face.
Elrohir paused outside of his room. "Whose room will we keep them in?" he asked.
Elladan shrugged. "Mine, I guess."
Elrohir turned around and walked to Elladan's room, which was right next to his. He tucked the kittens into one arm and opened the door.
Elladan set his kittens down on the bed, then said, "I wonder what we should do for a bed for them."
Elrohir shrugged. He put his kittens next to Elladan's, then dashed out into the hallway.
Elladan waited for a few seconds, then Elrohir came dashing back in.
"Here!" he exclaimed triumphantly.
Elladan set the piece of velvet in a corner, then arranged the flannel blanket around it. He scooped the kittens into their nest, then stood up. "Now for cheese," he announced grandly.
"Now for cheese!"
