They've left him alone in his cell.
He can't really be said to be lucid but he has very acute instincts for when there's someone and when he's alone - it's the last of his senses to depart him - and he's alone.
And then suddenly he isn't.
Yep, that's the idea.
The morning proceeds basically as usual - she goes to collect eggs for the Ñolofinwëans, and takes a peacock as well to have for lunch, and then heads to the Fëanorean camp.
I think we were expecting you to drop by? But nothing happened or anything, just eager to get those rooms for Maitimo.
Yeah, I was expecting to too, something came up. I can just work on rooms today if you don't have anything more urgent for me to do - and put in a portal someplace for you to talk to them through, too, if you want one.
I'm going to do Maitimo's side first, I'd rather not startle them. Should only be a minute. And she pops back to the cave.
Hi! It's Tyelkormo today, no surprise at all that they want a portal. Not that it'd be for any of them, but Tyelkormo misses you a lot. You ready?
All right. And there's a portal. I'll go do the other side - and now she's visible through it and trancing, and after a moment she opens her eyes. There you go, she tells Tyelkormo.
He's had all this practice; he conceals the flinch. "Hi! I'm coming home soon, looks like! And doing all the magic is a lot of pressure on the kobold so we're going to start training a mage of our own."
And they talk for a while. Nelyo's entirely normal, it's a little worrying because obviously it's not true but at least he can expect Nelyo's sufficiently in control of the situation to be projecting how he wants to be responded to.
And eventually she'll want lunch; he's hardly moving.
She was kind of expecting him to ask someone else to take her to do things, but this is fine too. When she starts to get hungry she disappears; fifteen minutes later she reappears in the cave and starts working on some soup for Maitimo.
I mean, you could go today, if you really want to and they have a place for you - tomorrow if you insist on the paths being set up, but if you can't walk yet I don't think it's that dangerous.
