Luthien – and the end of the Feanorions in Nargothrond. I know Huan is a dog and likely cannot write a journal, but let's just suppose he does.
Luthien
Year 465
Huan
Happy things: My beautiful boy, pretty Maia-lady, my boy's brother-son, my boy's chewy boots, stinky things from kitchen, games of tag, hunting trips, swimming in river
Hateful things: Baths, cats, wolves (poor excuses for good hounds), werewolves (worse), rabies, my boy's catty brother, who is likely half-rabid and comes up with really bad ideas. Oh, did I forget orcs and minions of Shadow?
Celegorm
Never met such a vision of beauty… Makes me almost dizzy looking at her. Snotty Thingol's daughter… Not sure being his law-son will be a good thing though. Wish Curufin will just stop his yapping about marriage alliances and using other big words. He's right about keeping her out of Orodreth's sight. I can just imagine that moron regent drooling over her like Huan over a fresh rabbit. Where can I get flowers in this season? Will she like flowery poetry instead?
Beautiful maiden
Alabaster snow skin…
Who am I kidding, I never had a head for poetry… That's Maglor's thing. Maybe I should hop over to the kitchen to fetch her some victuals.
Curufin
My elder brother is drooling over our guest like some pimply Mannish whelp. Seriously? Hand-peeled grapes, Turko? You never even bothered to help Tyelpe land his first trout. Fish almost took my lad out to sea on his line.
I have big plans for Thingol's little princess. If she was interested in Beren, she might go for the muscular, scruffy types - my elder brother happens to fit that bill. She's fair enough, but I sure don't want a Maia as my law-mother. Wouldn't want Orodreth and the Council crashing our party. At least not until Turko is wed to the princess. Then Orodreth can go fly a kite.
Celebrimbor
Just ran into Uncle coming out of the kitchens with a bottle of wine, a platter of fancy cheeses, and peeled grapes. Seriously? The only thing missing are the candles and roses. Not sure if I even want to know which maiden has captured my Uncle's fey heart.
Seeing my Ada slinking about outside their shared rooms earlier does not inspire confidence either. Not since Huan could be heard whining behind the door. Ada normally puts Huan out if Uncle is out of the rooms. He does hate dog hair all over his clothes. I asked Ada if I could borrow the fancy measuring tape he keeps in his room, he told me 'no' and shoos me off to the forge. Did I just smell ladies' perfume coming from their room? I think I will hang out with Gwindor for a bit until my Ada and Uncle stop acting so weird.
Has anyone seen Huan? He's not at his usual place in the hall…
Author's Notes:
Regent Orodreth has no idea what the Feanorions are up to. Tyelpe suspects something's up but doesn't want anything to do with it.
