Oh it will be tedious alright - it isn't a punishment if there is not some element of drudgery, and writing letters to all the staff who helped clean, plus Maedhros will certainly be that.

"Even so - Maedhros keeps those cupboards locked for a reason, Elros. I am sure once he calms down he will appreciate the care you took, but next time, perhaps leave locked cupboards locked, hm?" Because he is sure there will be a next time. This is Elros and Elrond after all.

"Now. I believe you are both hungry hm? Call your brother, and tonight you will help me with dinner."
