I'm working on putting the pieces together. I won't make mistakes forever.

Yup. You'll get there. She grins fondly.

Thanks to you.

Yeah, that spell turned out pretty well for both of us, considering, she grins.

Do you have what you need, now?

She nods. I think so. Unless this mage thing goes wrong in an especially bad way or something, but I don't expect it to; aside from the tricky politics stuff it's just a matter of settling in, now.

Good.

Yeah.

I should head out, is there anything you need before I go?

Nothing comes to mind, but thank you.

No problem.

She takes a few minutes to put the cave in order, and then sets out; she arrives at the Ñolofinwëan camp with a herd's worth of venison and three giant turtles.

Which gets distributed. The scouts have updates and are ready to come back.

Oh, good, updates. She facilitates that.

We know enough by now to feel we're safer there than here.

Sounds good. Do you want to bring everyone there now? I'm planning on taking a day off tomorrow, but there should be enough time to get basic defenses put up tonight.

Yes, let's go.

Mmhmm.

Even with teleportation, it takes a while to move tens of thousands of people and their possessions, but once she's got teleportation zones set up it's mostly a matter of keeping everyone organized, and she can get to work on the new city site - pulling down trees, setting up temporary walls and enspelling them, redoing the portal tents, and so on.

There's still a steady stream of people arriving when she stops for dinner; she checks in with Findekáno and lets him know what she's gotten done before she goes.

Thanks! We can definitely build from here.

Good. And I'll probably be by for a while tomorrow anyway, if it turns out there's something you need right away. Hug!

I hope it's a relaxing day off.

She grins. Should be, I think. Hopefully things'll be settled enough for you to have one too, soon.

I had lots of them in Valinor. I don't miss it yet.

She gives an amused snort. Fair. All right, I should get back. See you soon.

I will! Thanks so much for everything!

No problem. One last hug, and she heads home.

He's asleep, but wakes. How are they doing?
