We should get the animals out.

...uh. Letting them see me is an awful idea and I'd rather they not know the teleportation exists at all, it'll make a lot of things dangerous later if they do. Do you have any ideas that don't involve those?

...I could walk in and offer to trade for them?

I have no idea how they'd react to that. Probably not well - osanwë isn't the kind of thing this world's magic can do at all, for starters.

Okay, learn the language then do that.

Still not sure they won't attack you, but you can try it if you want. I'll need to be closer to get the location so I can make a portal.

Let's go in close enough for that.

They do that. It turns out to be quicker just to get half a mile away from the village than to wait for her to find it with the mage-sense from further out.

All right, got it. Let's go home, I can get somebody else to come get spell forms with me.

Why risk another trip if we can get them now?

It's going to be at least a couple hours of waiting to get all the forms they have, probably more than that, are you sure you want to be here that long?

Yeah, definitely. 

All right.

The mages continue to do magic; after an hour or so they switch from light and telekinesis spells to fire- and water-generating ones. The village continues to be a village full of people with no private thoughts; it's mostly uninteresting, though he may notice the group of people discussing what if anything they should be doing about the recent spate of baffling giant animal deaths, or the elf who starts working her way through the animal population, feeding all of them and spending extra time calming the unhappy ones.

He does notice that. He's glad there is at least one elf who is not a waste of space. They have noticed the giant animals you're hunting.

Good to know. Have they guessed it's magic?

Considered it, but don't think it's likely - they're thinking it's more likely the tigerfolk -

Okay, that shouldn't be too bad. Tigerfolk tribes come through all the time, it wouldn't be surprising for there to be a weird one, I don't think they'll do anything unless I keep it up.

Yeah, probably just be cautious.

Mmhmm. I can go hunt in the jungle, anyway.

The mages keep casting fire and water spells. That one elf finishes her trip through the pastures and makes her way to the stables, where most of the animals are pleased to see her; she gears up a big cat - her big cat, and the cat is very protective of her - for riding, and they head out away from the village.

Your cats must be different than ours, too, can't ride ours.

Huh. Elves ride all kinds of animals - she sends memories on elves on giant raccoons and bears and eagles. Kobolds don't, though.

Some of those aren't tamable in Valinor and some just don't have the skeletal structure so you could ride them. Eagles we do.

Huh, weird.

The mages discuss their plans for working in the gardens in the afternoon - they have some kind of plant-growth-affecting magic - and disperse for lunch.

We should try and get that too, we could really use it.

Yeah. I have the location here, we can go home and get me lunch and  come back?

Okay.
