And I've got a shield full of food and a brain full of English! And a tent, which will be handy, it does rain a lot around here.

Permalink

I can tell it not to.

Well, don't overdo it, might confuse the fluffs if they pay attention to the weather at all, but maybe it can just rain disproportionately at night for thirty days and not bother me when I'm awake. It is also cold this time of year; I compensate by not actually being my biology, what about you, you've seemed okay being outside but haven't actually been so for long periods of time...

Permalink

This temperature is fine for me but I can also sing warmth.

Permalink

Okay. It does get colder at times than the few days you've run through but if this is comfy and you have a warmth song we'll be okay. Do you have, like, a complete list of your repertoire?

Permalink

Happiness. Not needing sleep. Racing across tree branches gracefully and with the branches getting out of the way. Making water safe to drink. Making plants grow and be healthier. Healing. Warmth. Control of the weather.

Nice, comments Bella, writing all this down.

Permalink

Thank you. In the face of the Enemy it feels so useless.

Permalink

Some of it could matter a lot, you'd be a major logistical asset to an army - the sleep thing, the water thing, the weather. You're not a direct weapon, but you're a heck of an indirect one.

Permalink

We can't just march an army up to Angband, though.

Permalink

Yeah, I don't have a great picture of the strategic situation as it stands.

Permalink

It was still a nice thing to point out. Thank you.

Permalink

You're welcome. Bella disentangles herself from monitoring devices. If we just want to hare off into the woods I don't even have to steal the car, but I do have to stop time to avoid being followed.

Permalink

And carry me again?

Permalink

Right in one. Say when.

Permalink

Okay!

Permalink

And next thing she knows Bella is putting her down in some nice woods.

Permalink

Woods!!

Permalink

We can hike for a bit, be less accessible to search parties, Bella says, and when night falls I'll put my tent up.

Permalink

Won't your parents be really worried? Or have you just had to get inured to that.

Permalink

I've asked the both of them if they want me to take the time to leave them notes or something every time and they said no.

Permalink

Good for them.

Permalink

They're good parents.

Permalink

There's no way my parents' do that. They'd try to talk me out of doing anything dangerous, every time.

Permalink

...well, there's not really a non-dangerous way to be in a world that's ending. And I think my parents know they couldn't possibly talk me out of it even if I had a personally safe option, if I could save the world.
