Orome's a Vala, my favorite, and I'm going to check with him about whether you two are immortal now that you're here and whether you can get osanwe like we have. Your sister wants it. 

Oh. Of course she does.

Do you?

If the only two people here who can't right now are her and me, as long as she does I'm not sure it matters, she shrugs. And I don't harbor a periodic dissatisfaction with my ability to use language to communicate like she does. I wouldn't say no if it were offered casually but if two would be harder than one for some reason I won't ask for it.

If he'll do it at all he'll happily do it twice.

Well, it might be useful if we ever meet anyone who isn't an Elda again.

There's supposed to be Dwarves in the Outer Lands and my father has always wanted to visit.

Might as well, then.

I don't even know if he can and if he can I don't know if he will.

Okay. I'm not getting super attached to the idea or anything.

For sure. What do you want to do? Go somewhere and pick up a trade where the dream-conjuration advantages you? Travel forever?

I don't think I have enough information yet to make a solid decision but the former sounds more appealing at the moment.

Yeah, fair. The plan we were discussing was to take the scenic route to Orome and then to Tirion while you two learn to keep thoughts private, and then meet my folks and go from there.

Sounds like a plan to me.

And no complaints about the prospect of a lot of kissing along the way!

Well, Imliss will pointedly turn away and/or roll her eyes, but that's her sisterly prerogative.

Tyelcormo has brothers who would forcibly restrain him if they were here, so he can handle eye-rolling.

Good, because kissing him is great and if Imliss were actually being a deterrent Idaia would have to ask her to tone it down.

And they'll meander in Orome's general direction ahd he'll show them good combinations of tasty plants and shoot some birds if they want. 

Will you teach me how to do that? she asks, the first time she sees him shoot something. She doesn't expect to get as good as him on any kind of reasonable timeframe, but damn that was beautiful.

Yeah, definitely. Let me find a good tree to make you a bow out of, if you're new to it you won't be able to handle the draw weight on mine...

Draw weight being...the force it takes to pull the string back?

Yeah, sorry. Mine requires - about six times about as much force as it takes to lift a me-sized person. Can't think why you couldn't get there with practice but at the moment you wouldn't be able to move it.

Wow. Yeah. No. I cannot at this time do that.

So I'm on the lookout for a tree and I'll make you a starter bow from that.
