(Someone is finally peeking out of his cabin, looking like he has been through hell. Greetings, world!)

What food do you recommend after feeling ill? (He is the color of snow except for his fiery red hair and his one blue eye. The grey eye, filled with shadow, only makes him look worse.)

Father? Mother? Brothers? Is all well? I am sorry for my absence.

Finno, what of you? You will not escape my concern, cousin.

(This is what you get when you are tortured extensively by Morgoth. There are times Maedhros's strength simply fails him and he can't find the energy to leave his bed.)

Maedhros isn't expecting the visitor and he opens the door, blinking uncertainly. He is a tall Elf - very tall by the standards of Men - but right now he is hunched, too weak to keep proper posture. The offering the Man bears leaves him speechless.

It is very kind.

"You didn't need to -" however he stretches out his hands, the natural one and the hand Fëanor and Tony had engineered, to take the tray, "Thank you."

"I'm on kitchen duty this month," Bucky replies, offering a small smile. "You didn't look well, so I thought I'd bring some down," so he didn't have to go trudging down most of the length of the train. Whoever decided that food needed to be so far away from sleeping quarters had probably never been sick a day in their lives. "If you need anything else, you can call up to the kitchen car. I spend most of the day there right now."

"I think this goes beyond kitchen duty and I am grateful." Maedhros sits down with the tray on his legs, drinking thirstily for a moment. When he has his spells, he doesn't like moving; he doesn't like being. His body needs to make up for the loss.

"What is your name? I'm Maedhros Fëanorian, which means son of Fëanor." he bows his bright head, "Nerdanel is my mother, Maglor and Curufin are my brothers and Fingon is my cousin."

He lifts both brows at the introduction, and offers a warm smile. "James Barnes, but everyone calls me Bucky," he replies warmly. "And I suppose you can consider this returning a favor. Nerdanel helped me get some much-needed sleep, not so long ago," and he hadn't yet worked out a way to properly thank her.

"Bucky." he sounds a bit funny saying such a short name, but he likes it, "She is good at lulling others to sleep. She had to do so with seven sons."

Can you imagine the chaos? Mama Elf knows how to rule the roost.
