Maitimo wouldn't be comfortable with it but will agree to it anyway if he thinks he ought to. That can be good or bad. Don't suggest modifying his memories, the Enemy did that. 

Okay. Not a first line for most things unless requested anyway.

I have to admit to being unclear on what exactly it is therapists do. 

Well, I'm not sure what the ones who aren't subtle artists do, because on Materia you pretty much cannot break into the field if you don't have some ability to perceive and interact with the mind. And I can't get all that specific about things I have in fact done or may in fact do without violating patient confidentiality but you could give me a hypothetical.

Hypothetically, we have a whole lot of people who worked themselves to the edge of exhaustion for twenty-five years watching their friends die and knowing they might be called upon to die, and woke up from being frozen in time to witness having their marriages dissolved and oaths dissolved and souls altered against our will. And now we've built ourselves a nice pretty city and composed a lot of songs and are over it. We think. 

I do not think that is hypothetical enough for me to get very specific.

Sorry. 

We have lots of interesting things to do, so I really do think it's mostly fine. 

One of the best coping mechanisms.

Especially for the Noldor. Double-especially for this family. 

Well. If more people want therapy and want it from me in particular, I think that's probably a reasonable use of at least some of my time in a force multiplier sense.

I'll make it known it's available. I can't think of anything I'd personally want it for. The dead are back alive; my brothers are mostly okay and happy. 

Nod.

By the time they finish running through Loki's spell it's in fact a little past when she'd originally thought they should interrupt little Fëanáro with dinner.

Whoops. Better scurry over with edibles.

Time to meet the younger Fëanáro!

The younger Fëanáro is not done with the library but not due to lack of trying. He barely looks up but accepts the food. 

"Whatcha reading?"

"All of my older self's linguistics books, and then everything I can find on Arda's artifact magic."

"Cool. I can heal without expending mana now."

"Wow. How? Can you teach me?"

"Yes, but you need an eidetic memory necklace and to sit around not doing much for a few hours. Your alternate universe son here sang for me while he was teaching me, it was very nice of him."

"You're another one of my children? Are you sad all the time?"

"Yes," Macalaure says, "and no, respectively. Maitimo's not sad. You should have seen him before the war ended; he was sad then. Now he's just not as whole as he liked to tell himself he instantly would be. It's not the same thing."

Hm.

"Seemed pretty sad."

"Perhaps he didn't know what signs of happiness you were looking for," Macalaure says. "And he was talking about the war. It's a triumph but not a happy story."

"Yeah, okay. I don't want to sit still for several hours but I want healing."

"I know," he says, "I was very frustrated by the slowness of it. I can't imagine how bad it was for Loki, who had to invent them all."

"Maybe it's more interesting for her somehow."

"Inventing things is more fun than watching someone do it, definitely."

"And I think the symbols make sense to her," Macalaure says. "But it's still a very tedious process."
