Right now weather is kind of the least of our concerns. We are extremely lost indeed. What do you mean you haven't heard of a working?

I have not heard of a working. If a little bit of defensiveness comes through, it's because usually 'what do you mean you haven't heard of' means 'how is there a son of Feanor that stupid' and - No one has heard of a working. What is a working. 

A dreamworking? Like with the binoculars? ...So, uh, you know how if you're having really intense dreams sometimes stuff from the dreams affects your environment while you sleep?

I am pretty sure that doesn't happen, actually. 

Wait, what?

I have never had dreams that affected the environment around where I slept. I don't think dreams can do that, they're in your head. 

Well they work like that in Kilaiuossa. And if you train at it you can do stuff like that on purpose, while awake.

I've never heard of that happening. And you've never heard of it landing people in other worlds?

Other worlds?

This world's got Valinor and it's got Endore and Endore doesn't have your species and if you were from there the first thing you'd be commenting on was the light. 

It is weirdly bright. What's Endore?

The world outside Valinor. It's dark there because the Treelight doesn't reach it. 

...Treelight?

He gestures in the direction of Telperion. It's right there; they should be able to see it just fine. 

I don't see anything.

So he sends what he can see. 

...I can't see that well, she says after a stunned pause.

That's too bad. I don't think I have unusually good vision. Anyway, that's one of the Trees. The other one's gold, she'll wake up in a little while. You are like two hundred miles from civilization and you're lucky I was curious when I heard you or you could have wandered around for a sold few weeks without meeting anybody. 

Thanks for coming to investigate.

I wasn't, like, looking for gratitude, just adding more points on the 'you are really lost' thing. Wanna go to Tirion or to Taniquetil? Tirion's our main population center, Taniquetil's where the Valar live and they might be able to send you back. Or you can just chill out here, that's kinda what I'd do, but I have more company than most. 

There isn't really much to go back to, she shrugs. What do you mean about the company?

Oh, I can talk to animals. Most people here can't do that. So I travel farther and don't get lonely, because I can just say hey to them. He nods at the deer. Like, I told her not to run away, usually she'd see a horse and a dog and panic. But if you're friendly with her I won't shoot her, so I said, it's okay, just hang out here, we're just talking. 

I was petting her to check that she was real and not part of a really complicated working. I'm not especially attached. You can talk to animals? That's amazing.

Well, now that we've had a conversation I don't really want her for dinner, though if you do, can do. There's no hurry to get to Tirion, if you're not in a hurry to get put back.

I don't think either of us is particularly hungry right now. We're--disoriented, I think is the biggest thing. This place is so different from where we just were.
