She can think of several magical solutions but they're all terrible ideas and besides would require more attention than she wants to devote to not kissing right now so she will just have to alternate, she supposes.

Permalink

Well he's just going to hug her and adoringly repeat her name, if that's all right.

Permalink

That is way more than alright that is excellent--

She breaks off from kissing for a moment to say--"Tyelcormo" and resumes whilst delightedly sending, I can say your real name here it's so great.

Permalink

Guess you can. Eru, it's been - five hundred years - feels like a different person -

Permalink

--Should I say it more often? Not--not out loud, obviously, but--I don't want you to lose it--

Permalink

We have all the ages of Arda. If - if we win the war, I can teach my children Quenya someday, name them in it...

Permalink

Yeah.

Teaching me Quenya is another thing that theoretically ought to wait for the end of the war that no one's going to know if it happens in Milliways. Or starts, anyway, I'm not confident in learning a whole...language...in...

If the door's pausing time on the other side I could just stay here until I'm strong enough to kill Morgoth and then nobody else has to die.

Permalink

Oh.

Permalink

There's not as much stuff to do--but--even if all I have is makework, even if I'm subjectively slower--I could--

Permalink

Could bring everyone back today, no risk of Mandos getting nervous as your capabilities grow.

Permalink

Hadn't even thought of that, but you're right. Testing my thresholds is going to be harder--I wish I'd gone to Doriath and talked to Melian sooner--but--

If you stay in here you can teach me all the Quenya we want and if you leave you could see your dad within the hour.

Permalink

You have Huan for testing your thresholds.

Permalink

Then maybe you had better stay, since I can't talk to him.

Permalink

Of course I'm gonna stay, wouldn't you get lonely?

Permalink

...Oops, it looks like I was trying to be dramatically self-sacrificing so you could see your dad subjectively sooner.

Permalink

I don't want to see him sooner I want him to not be in Mandos for a minute longer. 

Permalink

Well. It seems I can do that.

pause.

Maybe not literally a minute. I have to figure out where to resurrect everybody and a Feanorian fortress is not a neutral location. Also just to be on the safe side I want your brother Maglor singing that one song that helped with the chasm if possible.

Permalink

I do think you should do it in our territory. Grandfather's going to obviate all of the succession tensions and we are guaranteed not to react badly to our enemies suddenly appearing in our territory but everyone else might.

Permalink

Fair enough. I still want your brother singing, if that's at all doable.

Permalink

Definitely. He'll be flattered.

 

Permalink

And then I kill Morgoth and it doesn't matter where you teach me Quenya.

Permalink

Yes.

 

He kisses her again.

Permalink

She kisses him back. This is lovely, he's lovely, she's going to be a goddess and fix everything magic can fix, she's not going to have to be patient because by the time they leave she'll wield ultimate cosmic power, he has such soft hair...

Permalink

He cannot think of any reasons this isn't the best idea that's ever crossed his mind and anyway she'll need distractions while ascending to godhood.

Permalink

Psychological health maintenance is very important.

After a few more minutes of this she says, So my magic totally does birth control and humans don't do the soul thing and anyway there are other options besides the thing that makes those things relevant and since I apparently don't need to squeeze as much kissing you into the next short period of time as possible to tide me over until Morgoth's dead we should probably either stop or the exact opposite of stop for the sake of my sanity.
