If they can't make it safe they might not let me teach anyone at all. But Aulë really wants people to be able to learn it, and they didn't seem to think there'd be a problem, just that it would take a while.

If he said a while I'll be grown by the time he gets around to it.

Sorry. I'll ask if there's anything I can do to help them go faster, but I have no idea if it works that way.

I just hate not knowing things and not knowing how I can fix that.

Hug. Does it help to keep in mind that not being able to learn this isn't your fault at all? 'Cause it really isn't.

No because if I were better I could learn it.

She frowns, and projects a little bit of her dissatisfaction along with her words. When Aulë and I decided to do it that way it didn't have anything to do with how good you are or aren't.

But you might have taught it to me before then if I seemed very careful and good.

I wouldn't've, though. I've seen people die, learning magic, I don't want to do that again at all.

How do they die? How do you even know Quendi'd die? We might not!

Every species in my world has the same problems with learning magic, there's no reason to think it'd be different here. And even if I wasn't sure I'd want to be careful.

How do you know? Have you seen them all learn it?

Not personally, but one of the other speakers knows a lot of lore from other places. And I'd still want to be careful if I didn't know that.

Yeah. 

He sighs.
