That gets a grin, if not a very enthusiastic one. I hope I didn't worry them too much.

I found other people who could do most of the things they wanted and I promised you weren't offended with them or anything.

Her grin is more genuine this time. Thank you.

You are welcome.

Hug. Anything else I need to know before I go?

I don't think so. Nothing else like that has come up, at least.

Nod. Good. And off the kobolds go.

The Dwarves are the same as they were a few days ago, full of cheerful magic requests.

That's a little bit weird? But not in a bad way.

Tirinquo isn't quite sure what to make of the Dwarves. Rána keeps an eye on them, but for the most part they're content just to watch everything, and don't slow her down much.

The Dwarves are no more startled by two kobolds than one. Some people do address Tirinquo but when they don't get answers they just assume a language barrier.

And they're dealing with all different Dwarves, not just the same few, so there's not much point in explaining unless someone asks.

Rána doesn't push herself, but still gets a good amount done before lunch, which she decides to eat in the city.

The Dwarves are happy to provide!

Uh.

She was going to portal in something from the Quendi city, but okay?

...she can do that too if she'd rather, they won't be offended.

...at some point if she's going to be here a lot she really should figure out a better way to deal with that part of their culture than 'be alarmed at anything even resembling it'. But maybe not today. Portal: lunch.

And then more magic requests!

Tirinquo is increasingly grumpy about being told not to touch stuff; eventually Rána sends them home, and the magic requests are fulfilled without further distraction.

They are appreciative and thank her.

No problem, really.

...also she has a question, sort of? If there's anyone who was affected by the trouble with the Doriath Quendi and would feel better with defensive spells or a way to teleport home or something, she'd like to make sure that's available to them, what's a good way to do that?

This city of Dwarves wasn't affected, it was mostly a different tribe. They could ask when they next see them, but it isn't very often.

Okay. Somebody's getting portals set up anyway, she can wait.

It's nice of her to think of that.

Something similar happened to her tribe when she was younger, it's kind of a big deal to her.

It's kind of objectively a big deal. They hope her tribe's okay now.

That too, yeah. Her tribe made it through okay, it was bad but it was brief and they were able to get away from it.
