Hee! This is very cute, though I'm sure very exasperating to poor Elrond. I've had experience with "helpful" cats in my time . . .

[sasha_honeypalm]

It's bad enough with keyboards, imagine writing with a feather quill!

[shirebound]

Bwahaha!!!! Such huge grins!!!

[sasha_honeypalm]

Thank you!

Very cute. There's nothing quite like a "helpful" kitten.

There isn't, is there? You can't stay mad at them, even when they're dropping random strings of numbers into your work.

Cats are cats are cats, doesn't matter where, doesn't matter when :D

Little-known fact: Tevildo's favorite dastardly torment was chewing on people's Important Letters when their backs were turned.

*falls over laughing* poor Elrond! :) "oh never mind" indeed...hee! Kittens have been making that kind of trouble for humans for literally Ages, I bet Elves (and Peredhil) are no different!

[sasha_honeypalm]

Elrohir thought he was being the responsible twin by not bringing home an orphaned bear cub. The bear, at least, never knocked over an inkwell on Elrond.

(Also I messed up the coding, and had the first letter repeated twice in place of the second letter, at least between the previous comment and this one. It's fixed, now).

This is great! Very creative.

[sasha_honeypalm]

Thank you! Though technically the credit goes to Pie, Helpful Kitten Extraordinaire.

[baileyboybee]

Pie is gorgeous!

[sasha_honeypalm]

Aw, thank you. (Yes, you're a good kitty, yes you are).

[lindahoyland]

I love it!Mine try to "help" me too.

[sasha_honeypalm]

Thank you!

I'm rather intrigued what inebriated Lindir got up to, with the spiders. And what the relevance of lime pie is!
But I guess thanks to that very helpful kitten we won't find out. Hopefully Thranduil will relent soon, anyway!

Please convey my appreciation to your feline co-author and co-artist!

I imagine it was similar to the Noodle Incident, but with lime pie instead of noodles. ;)
(From a Doyalist perspective, the relevance of lime pie is that every element of everything else I posted or am working on was a case of "find a prompt that fits what I'm already doing", I figured I should have at least one thing that was the right way around).

And Pie says "Chirrup", which I think means "You're welcome".

Thank you!
