She helped test my temperature limits. It was helpful.

Towards what end? Ambitions of becoming a warrior?

I wouldn't describe it as an ambition, but it might be useful, especially if there's a way to expand my range.

You would need to extend it to several hundred miles. 

Why that figure in particular?

That's how far it is from here to Angband. 

Well, there are places I could be that are not here in particular.

They are not places where I'd expect you would be safe if the Enemy decided to retaliate or stop you. 

This is true.

It may be best that we all sit tight and wait for the Valar to do something. 

Daeron makes a demurring sort of noise. 

My impression is that it might be a prolonged wait.

Yes. But I don't think the Enemy will stay still for you to freeze him or burn him. 

It's not a complete solution, but taking steps towards it is time-consuming enough that it seems worth starting now without being confident in everything else.

That is reasonable and farsighted. 

Thank you.

And they talk about the music for the rest of the walk and then Luthien shows everyone to separate guest rooms. 

And Kiri and Aleko sit up for a bit while she fills him in on what he missed about the day's events and writes things down, and then they go to bed.

And in the morning someone brings breakfast and the closet has dresses in her size.  

...does breakfast person know how her measurements were obtained?

Oh, they have some talented seamstresses who can do it near-perfect just by looking, it's the centuries of practice, why, are they off?

Not as far as she knows, but seamstresses cannot do that by looking where she's from.

Well! Menegroth was a very peaceful place before the war and people took pride in all kinds of obscure skills. 

Anyway the dresses look lovely please convey Kiri's compliments to the seamstresses.

She will do so!

Good.

Kiri picks out a dress, changes, steps out to see what the day holds.
