Nod, snuggle. I couldn't've lived with myself if I hadn't. But you're welcome.

Do you think he'd give an honest answer if I asked to see him now?

...they'd agree and I'd back them on it if you wanted it vouched for, I think.

You mean, you think it'd be the right thing to do?

To let them make that decision, yeah. They aren't looking after themselves the way I want them to, but they are looking after themselves the way they want to, it's a choice they've made.

Okay. Then it's worth asking.

She nods. I'll see them tomorrow.

Thanks.

She nods, and snuggles for a little while, and then gets back to work.

There is both more and less to do, with all the new magic.

Yup. It won't take her too long to get all the most urgent stuff done, but for now, she works steadily, finds a couple friends to hang out with for dinner, works some more, and then heads to bed.

After breakfast, she looks for Maitimo.

He remains easy to find!

Good morning, she settles in a chair. I thought you'd want to know that the Ñolofinwëans are planning to send some people to my world, to get more spell forms from the city-building species there. They're working on learning the languages, right now, I'm not sure when they'll be ready to send anyone.

Can't do it the way we did it with the elves?

They might be able to get some that way, but I'm not sure they'll be able to hang around that close for that long without running into trouble. And they won't be able to get all of them in cities, and talking to people in cities is the best way I know of to find out where the others are.

That makes sense. Oh, well, the languages should only take a month or so to pick up. And things are going well with this world's humans.

Good. Anything interesting?

Not to speak of. They're basically completely new, they don't know anything, but they're perfectly bright and able to learn.

She nods. I might want to go meet them sometime when I'm less busy. Anyway, in the meantime I have one other piece of news - Findekáno would like to come see you.

Okay.

I can stay for it, there's plenty of work I can bring with me. When would you like them to come?

I imagine he's busier than I. Whenever's convenient.

All right. Probably within the next few days, then, I'll ask this afternoon and let you know.

Thank you.

She nods. No problem. Anything else?
