Thank you. She gets in the car as well. 

Vroom. I am so glad you got swooped into my universe. My hospital room even, you could have landed in Siberia or something.

And then I'd probably just have wandered around for a month and then who knows. Maybe the snake sent me somewhere I was needed, since that's what I always wished for. 

Maybe. It's a little convenient. Although 'snake' seems a weird method of providence.

I'll grant you that.

Well, I'm glad to be here.

And I am absolutely thrilled to have you and it is not just because of the aftereffects of your singing!

Thanks. And thanks for the food. Is that Seattle?

Coming up, yep. We can find a hotel and corner Raine in the morning.

A hotel is a place to stay?

Yeah. We can get one room or two, depends on how confused you're gonna be by the plumbing and stuff. I guess you can probably telepath through walls.

I'd rather share, what if witches come or some- oh, I guess you'd know if that happened. Still.

Well, I do sleep.

Then I'll hang out in your room and modify these clothes to be more tightly fitted in the local fashion.

Sounds like a plan.

Bella finds a hotel, and parks, and gets them a two-bed room and asks at the desk for a sewing kit and receives one. Lúthien will be introduced in rapid succession to the concepts of automatic doors, elevators, and key cards.

Lúthien commends the creativity and talent of Seattle's artisans.

As far as I know none of these devices were invented in Seattle. I mean, I guess some of them might have been but it would be a coincidence, they're everywhere.

You should meet a Noldo and explain your world someday. My people would all go 'that sounds nice but we live in Doriath and want for nothing' but they'd be very excited by all these things.

The Noldor being that Doomed cultural group?

Those are the ones. There are some who didn't take part in the Kinslaying and some who don't rule any kingdoms and I assume some in the overlap who are quite nice.

Be a safe assumption in a human cultural group.

There's even one or two who tried to stop the massacre and I expect there are more who would have, only they were scared. Can hardly judge people for that, it's not as if I could have done anything if I'd been at the scene.

You don't think you could've sung them down?

Now I could. Two hundred years ago all I could have done was made everyone on both sides very happy. Maybe that's enough. I don't know. I can't really fathom the mindset in which you slaughter your way across a harbor full of unarmed people. They might have been happy already, for all I know.

I don't know enough about the psychology of the species to guess. Humans would probably not have been happy, at least not most of them. Not that humans don't commit atrocities, I just don't think happy is the word for how they usually feel about it.

Elves don't usually commit atrocities. It's the only one like it I've ever heard of. Maybe making everyone happy could have helped. I would have tried. They might also have had singers helping with the killing, perhaps I could have at least drowned out those.
