From the Sea, not saying he's washed up or anything of the sort: Addy Chubb Took

[adamantachubb]

isengar_took, my twelfth-born, my youngest, my little baby, has returned from the sea at long, long last.

Thank goodness he's been keeping up with his laundry. I can't imagine how big a laundry bag he'd need otherwise.

Sennie, my darling lad, welcome home to Great Smials. We have missed you so.

Tis good to be back on land. The sea calls, but it also tips and pitches and drenches; I don't think I spent more than an hour or two dry or able to keep food down.

Hmm. Food. The sea has no mushrooms. I don't suppose you have any?

[adamantachubb]

Oh dear! My poor boy! You do look so thin!

All the kinds you could wish! And I'm going to run down to the market and get more because we are going to have a party at Great Smials to welcome you home! How's tonight? Or is that too soon?

*hugs mother*

Oh, Mother! I've missed you! And the rest of the family - I can't wait to see them. I think I'll write a haiku for the occassion, if you think that would be all right.

((Ahaha!))

*hugs back*

Why, darling boy! *pats his cheek* When is there not a good time to write haiku? *smiles at him fondly* Your father would be so proud!

Well, there was this one time in .... but we don't have to talk about that now.

Do you really think he would? *beams*

*smiles at him obliviously*

Oh, of course.

Well, we're just going to have to have a party tonight so everyone can greet you properly!

And look! *takes him by the hand and drags leads him down the hallway* There's your little room, just how you left it! See? We always knew you were coming home! And guess who gets to finally clean it after all these years! You!!! :D

Who's coming? It's been so long, I bet no one will recognize me .... maybe I should get a nametag.

*stares at room* Well, at least it's stable and larger than the one on the ship. I wonder if my hamster is still there. Mom, what did you do with my hamster?

And did you know there's Jello about?

I don't know, but Mousie, for one better come. And hopefully she'll bring Bingo and whoever else is at Undertowers. And hopefully your niece Esmerelda. But I've sent out invitations, so we'll see.

Hamster? Why, I don't remember a hamster, dear. Perhaps one of the little Tooks has it.

Is there? And just in time for our party too. How convenient! Someone must have been expecting you!
