Rueful laughter. Yeah, no starving people to see if their standards for prettiness change. The Valar wouldn't approve.

Quite.

(She keeps her opinion of the relevance of what the Valar think firmly in the private side of her thoughts)

And the prettier printing press progresses.

~Printing press!~

It's a week before they have a version they deem satisfactorily pretty itself and producing sufficiently pretty letters.

Imliss literally cannot spend all that time helpfully consulting; she will also get started on her books.

Reading in Quenya is still slow, but they're well-written and useful at least.

Well the way to get faster at reading is to read, obviously.

...Oh and she answers her letters, too. Kilaiuossari script for Feanaro.

He's delighted. He writes back very rapidly whenever she writes to him.

It's impressive how much of the adorableness of Feanaro learning languages comes through in his letters.

A few days into the week, the letter is hand-delivered! With bonus sisterly hugs!

"How're you finding Tirion, Imliss?"

"The lectures were really fun and I'm helping a bunch of engineers reverse-engineer the printing press!" Also, uh, someone made a rude remark and Idaia had a witty comeback but your brother didn't want to talk about it?

Yeah, he wouldn't. Tirion: remains socially conservative. Idaia: remains perfect. He kisses her.

She dramatically shields her eyes. So...

Oh, he's apparently bisexual, someone was a dick about the fact that he's had non-heterosexual sex, I asked them if they wanted me to take my top off to prove I was female.

Sporfle.

To be fair I should've told her, it would have mattered to a lot of people and I didn't know Idaia wasn't one of them except by 'she's perfect therefore she won't care' logic which isn't really logic.

Why? I mean, it's not like you're going to cheat on her with anyone, so what does it matter who exactly you're refraining from cheating with?

Most people'd consider it a really really big deal. Most people are terrible, but still, I'd be doing something wrong if I courted one of them without telling her something that I knew would change her mind.

The part where you shouldn't lie to your prospective spouse makes sense. The part where it's a big deal that you're bisexual doesn't.

You can get arrested. Nelyo wouldn't, it'd make the family look bad, but you can.

What?

It is against the law to have same-gender sexual relations, or to engage in behaviors suggestive of such relations. 

I don't think it's illogical to think Idaia's too good to believe in that kind of thing.
