There are a lot of Amentan countries. Vanda Nossëo representatives are dispatched to all of them. These Elves (two with black hair, one with silver) take a shuttle down from the lightleaper to a country called Calado, and radio ahead to request permission to land at a elegant modern spaceport.
okay by comparison Voa and Tapa look like thriving modern democracies

If it's the done thing!
It is!!
Floatcar takes them through absurdly pretty countryside to an absurdly pretty valley of blooming flowers and singing birds. In Vána's domain it is always spring; to Elves this has no negative connotations.
Vána is dancing.
The oranges do not know the etiquette.
Elves do! They get her attention and bow.
Oranges bow too.
Vána does something weird to the air pressure when she gets close but she is so - flowers spring up around them - delighted to meet them and blesses them and their baby and wishes them eternal happiness in Valinor. ...do they want to stop aging, that will make the eternal happiness moreso.
Will that just mean they continue being pre-age-twenty amounts of babywanting and fertile forever?
Can they maybe be twenty later, if they ever somehow decide they have enough kids?
Okay. They would like to stop aging for now.
They are thankful!
The oranges don't sing very well and do not attempt to participate.
"Yes."
They are glad she is glad!
On Peka's pillow the day after the aliens arrive there is a note. The note says "I'd hoped they'd cut back their troops faster. I'm sorry. If by the end of the week they're still keeping you I'll arrange something so you can go home to your daughter."
With the note there is a little bead. When you squeeze it, it plays music. It is stunningly pretty music.
The third song makes it start snowing inside the tent.
Jumping like there's much less gravity, though she might not be able to test that too well in the tent.
