I like the way you think. What do you want to get exiled from Tirion for?

Not sure what's on the menu. I'm thinking fun, highly scandalous, but not actually hurting anyone.

We could climb  the tower of my terrible relatives' house and make out in it or something? It overlooks the whole city.

Tempting. Feels kind of obvious, though, not very creative.

I'd suggest enlisting Maitimo but he will disapprove and refuse to help.

Maybe we could use him for damage control? Like, explain that we are totally doing the thing anyway, what are the predictable unintended consequences of this-or-that plan so we can patch them.

...might work.

Getting yelled at by your brother for going to be doing something like that would probably be better than getting yelled at justifiably by your brother for accidentally actually messing things up further than they were already messed up.

Yeah. And he's not actually likely to yell. He won't need to to get his point across..

Metaphorical yelling.

We shall be very metaphorically yelled at.

Probably shouldn't implement the plan until we're sure exile's going to happen pretty soon anyways, I think substantially shortening the timeline on that is likely to count as an unintended consequence.

I'm not sure it's going to happen at all, it's just a bloody stupid mess all around and that's what people are demanding.

Bleah. Drama. Still, as long as nobody ends up dead, not the worst thing ever.

Not even close. Want to go up to the palace and say hello?

Sure!

So they wind their way towards the palace. The city is spectacular.

It is! Idaia forms architecture opinions.

They're going to have a lovely house.

It's a lovely palace. The stone is too smooth and continuous and vaulted to be geologically plausible.

Wow, how does that even work?

Valar did it. We were new to Tirion and wanted it to look like that and they were like 'why not?'

Ha. That's kind of great.

I know. It's a bit ridiculous but it is a beautiful building.

Everything's so beautiful here.

It's really important to us as a people.
