We'll find out. Once there's less to lose if anything goes wrong.

Yeah.

They watch cartoons. They're not that scary compared to reality. She kind of curls up anyway.

Bella goes on translating them for her.

And eventually they should probably get some sleep.

Yup. Zzzzz.

She'll sleep a bit too, why not. Only an hour or so. Then she'll watch Bella and sing over osanwe directed only at people who aren't in this world and try to stay calm.

If the TV's not going to be on it's a little more obvious that Bella talks in her sleep. In English, so it's not necessarily obvious how intelligible it is.

She doesn't understand any words but she remembers them to ask about.

Yaaaaaawn. "G'morning."

Morning! What were you saying while you were sleeping? Uh, you said - and she stumblingly tries to list them aloud.

I didn't know I talked in my sleep and those are pretty random things to say. Uh, 'blanket', 'envelope', 'motorcycle', 'pig', 'lava lamp', 'cardstock', 'number two pencil'...

I've never heard of most of those things!

So Bella explains envelopes and motorcycles and lava lamps and cardstocks and the cultural significance of the number two pencil!

I kind of want you to come to our world and make the Noldor stop feeling so sophisticated for having invented books and lenses and polearms.

Well, go back a few hundred years and that was our cutting edge too.

That's worrying. Do you think they'll have your world's weapons in a couple hundred years?

Maybe. Warfare spurs invention, at least for humans.

And if it won the war it might even be worth it. Ugh.

What I'd worry more about would be the Enemy developing things.

He's billions of years old and orc armies still fight with axes, I don't think he thinks the right way. He could copy things once he got the idea, probably.

That wouldn't be good either.

No, it wouldn't. 

One world at a time. 

Yeah.

And they eat weird human food and eventually it is time for Bella to go talk to Raine.
