Celebrimbor: Cleansing

takes place in my Celebrimbor-lives AU, which I am at some point going to post to SWG, I promise

The water flowed.  Celebrimbor knelt at its side, staring down into the arid valley below.  Stinky twined around his knees, meowing loudly and excitedly.  It had taken the Dwarves nearly a year, and all the ingenuity of their hands and Celebrimbor’s, but the water flowed.

“There, you dratted monster,” Celebrimbor said, laying a hand on Stinky’s head.  “You are not so skilled at destruction as you thought, are you?”

Behind him, Lobelia snorted awake on her litter.  “You’re cosseting that cat again, aren’t you?” she creaked out in her most crotchety voice.  “Oh my, look at that river.”  She snorted.  “He’ll get wet.  He’ll hate that.”

Stinky meowed in indignation.
