Eventually he hands her back the earpiece. "Thank you.."

"Thank you," Rumil says on the other end.

"You're welcome."

"I think he is all right. I'm not sure he should be, but - I'm glad."

"Interesting way to summarize it."

"What would you have said?"

"...I'm glad a me showed up?"

"All of Arda is deeply grateful for all instances of you."

"It sounds like other me got sort of close to wiping out the Valar and just decided not to, I'm not sure I'd assume it unanimous, but thank you."

"Pfft. Good for her."

Bella giggles. "For getting close or for deciding against?"

"For being in a position to decide, I think. I trust her judgment."

"For all we know she mostly just looks like me," Bella points out, "we're different species and stuff, it's a little different from the Fëanáros."

"Looks like you and apparently became powerful enough to fight the Valar and then decided not to. So at least some common personality."

"Yes, there is definitely that."

"Planning to ask her how she did it?"

"If I get to meet her, yes. She's not reachable right now; I'd give them the earwire to call her but it could be on purpose."

"She might be tired of Fëanáro's double, he seems a bit tiring."

"That is possible but probably not the whole reason?"

"How's our Fëanáro doing?"

"He has learned a lot of engineering and seems all set to learn some more."

Sigh. "And not any mass murder, I hope."

"Has not been part of the curriculum."

"Have fun."

"I will. We're going to meet his children, he has seven. Don't know yet who their mom wound up being."
