Well, they do, so now I may as well do things that let you move around.

I can probably get them to stop, and it'll be easier to do that if you stop doing rude things first. And, there's a reason rude things are considered rude - they only hurt people a little but they do still hurt them.

I don't think that's why.

Oh?

I think it's mostly to say 'you are thinking you are more important than you are'.

Ah.

It can mean that too, depending on what rude things you're doing. It is okay to do rude things sometimes - that's why they're just rude and not wrong - but only if not doing them is going to hurt things more than doing them would. So if you've been doing things that hurt other people more than they help you - or that seem to do that, I think the people you've been dealing with don't have a very good idea of how much you're hurting and how important it should be to do something about that - and then not acting like you see why that's bad, people might think you think that.

And then hate me.

Oh, kid. Hugs.

I'm going to be really upset with them if they do. They have done such a bad job of making sure you have what you need, they really don't get to complain when you try to get it yourself, no matter how many mistakes you've made with it.

He looks vaguely confused. I just don't want everyone to hate me.

And they shouldn't. She's pretty emphatic about this. And if I see that they do I'll do something about that.

He smiles. Thank you. 

I don't think they'd think it's rude. I'm definitely allowed to do it.

Rude to what, hate people?

No, to ask them to leave so you don't feel nervous.

Ah.

I'm pretty sure it is - I know I'd be pretty unhappy if someone demanded that of me. Maybe we can find a way to where you want to go without doing that?

Even if they told you the reason? "my friend is nervous, can you go somewhere else so she can walk down the street and not be afraid"?

I'd be less unhappy then, but it'd still be an inconvenience and I'd still be unhappy. And if there are enough people that we'd need to do that, then a lot of people will be inconvenienced, so it'd have to be something pretty important to be worth it.

Huh.

All the streets are crowded, it's what streets are for. We could climb on the roof.

She peers at the local architecture.

That's a good idea. I bet I can teleport us up.

Cool!

She grins and hugs him one more time, then unhugs and closes her eyes for a few seconds and then offers him her hand. We're going there first - she points to a two-story building, one of the lowest around, with a flat roof - and then you can point out where to go next.

Roof-hopping is so much fun and he is so, so happy. 

She is pleased to oblige, and does her best to keep them to low buildings with flat roofs.

A couple people see them and are startled at the teleporting.

She notices, and smiles down at them while Fëanáro works out their next destination.

They don't object, in any event.
