Macalaurës who have not yet seduced a Rebecca feel that they have been issued a challenge. They get to work on it.
He goes to Eclipse and does research. Eclipse makes him feel very uncomfortable.
"I'm glad! I don't know if you saw or not but there's a House that's a member state now..."
"- do you want us to move -"
" - no, of course not, you can stay forever - but if you wanted to, I wanted to make sure you knew."
"Maybe when the baby's going to spring." Lynt pats Vae's midsection.
He beams at them. "That'll be a long time, what with Valinor."
They giggle.
"Do you need anything?"
"Everyone's been so helpful. We have everything we need here."
"It's so nice. Thank you so much."
"Of course. Write me if you ever want to visit somewhere else, okay?"
"We might want to show the baby more places sometime. But there's a whole beautiful planet here. Thank you."
"Sure.
Uh, Yvalta's not letting people leave."
"- oh no. Even though there's a member House -?"
"The other Houses were less excited about it. Some people fled to that one, but lots got stopped, they executed people for breach of contract -"
Nod.
"Is there something we should be doing?"
"- like what?"
" - I don't really know. Taking more people home with us."
"Maybe."
"It worked for us."
He bites his lip and nods. "You could write a blog post about it or something? So people know they can ask."
"I don't have a blog..."
"I used to but I haven't updated in a season and a half."
"I could write my sister. I don't know what I'd say."
"You don't have to, just, maybe more people would talk to the Elves in Yvalta if they knew we'd help."
"I can update my blog."
"I'll write my sister."
"Thanks so much. I'm so happy for you both - take care -"
