Where they can throw themselves once again into fountain design. They attract a fascinated audience.

The kobold for the most part ignores the audience, though she doesn't seem to mind their presence and occasionally looks over the group in a friendly-acknowledgement sort of way.

Fëanáro ignores them too. This is going to be the prettiest fountain.

Yup! (...hmmmmm, how many distinct streams can she get the water to split into while staying close enough together that it looks like it's all coming from the same place....)

Fëanáro will not tire of this all day.

The kobold does lose a little bit of enthusiasm as the afternoon wears on, but not much.

Eventually, it's dinnertime. I'm getting hungry, should I bring you something from the kitchen?

Yeah, he says distractedly.

Poof.

She returns some minutes later with a plate for herself and a selection of bite-sized things on a skewer for Fëanáro, with a bit of wood serving as a makeshift guard on the pointy end.

This is a brilliant idea and he even remembers to thank her, sort of, while grabbing it and returning to work. It will be such a pretty fountain.

She chuckles and goes to sit in the shade with her meal.

It really is a very pretty fountain.

When she's done eating she returns her plate to the kitchen and goes back to helping Fëanáro, and after a few more hours she starts yawning.

He misses the cue the first few times but notices it eventually.I don't like sleeping

I don't have very much choice about it, especially if I want to feel okay tomorrow.

I feel more okay when I've done lots of things.

Yeah, I can tell.

How often do people usually want you to sleep?

Every night. Grownup Quendi don't sleep that often but kids are supposed to.

Hmm.

Kobolds sleep every night, but we don't all go to sleep at the same time - mostly kids and elderly people go to sleep first, and older adults go to bed later and young adults stay up very late and sleep through the morning, but that's only mostly, some people like to sleep on different schedules than that. Maybe going to bed at a different time would work better for you?

I like to work until I fall asleep, and that's sometimes after a day and a half. 

Nod. Well, you don't have to sleep every night just because I do, (yawn) but we should probably find someone who knows more about it and ask them if there's a reason you shouldn't do that first.

You can ask, he says indifferently, no one makes me go to bed so I'm not going to.

She chuckles. Okay. Do you want me to change any of the spells around before I go?

He does in fact have a barrage of last minute requests.

She fulfills them, casts a couple spells that they suggest he might end up wanting later, and then gives him a hug and heads to bed.

He is too distracted to wish her good night.

Somehow, this isn't surprising; she doesn't mind.

Has he gone to bed by the time she wakes up?

Nope! He is satisfied with the fountain, though, and is planning another one.
