It had been raining nonstop for the past three days, and the twins were eager to finally be able to go out and play. Cooped up inside, the twins were now restless which was never a good thing as Maglor and Maedhros always ended up bearing the brunt end of it.

"Maglor! It has stopped raining, can Elros and me go out and play?" Elrond excitedly said as he came running over to his foster father who was trying to string his lyre.

Maglor sighed.

"You mean can Elros, and I go out and play?"

Maedhros chuckled, oh how it bothered his little brother when the twins did not use proper language.

Elrond sighed and sagged his shoulders. "Okay, can Elros and I go out and play? Please. We promise to be good."

The two brothers glanced at each other before Maedhros finally spoke. "Yes, penneth, you and your brother may play outside but be careful and stay where we can see and hear you two."

With a squeal, Elrond ran to tell his brother the good news and the two of them were outside a few minutes later allowing Maglor and Maedhros some much needed time alone. Being cooped up was bad enough with just one child but two of them and twins none the less?

While the two older brothers were inside resting, they could hear the two younger brothers outside laughing and squealing. "I wonder what they are up to out there? They sound like they are having too much fun," Maglor said not daring to go out for fear of what he would discover.

"Oh, little brother, they are children, let them have some fun. They have been inside for three days!" Maedhros responded as he laid back reading a book.

Maglor glared at his brother. "Very well, but know this, whatever mess they have gotten themselves into, you will be responsible for."

Maedhros just chuckled.

A few hours later, two small children came in laughing covered head to toe in mud, which just started to crust in their hair. Maedhros began to protest when he was interrupted by a laughing Maglor.

"Now, now brother, remember they are just children, and they were just having fun! Well, now you can have some fun bathing them." With that, Maglor got up and left the room before Maedhros could argue.
