Good idea. I'll set that up.

Thanks. And the scar removal thing is too simple to really teach me anything, but if anyone wants that while I'm casting on them anyway, it won't slow me down much, or any of the other simple cosmetic things.

Okay. People mostly don't have scars, but that's still good to know.

Nod.

Snuggle. Maitimo took a scar removal spell, by the way.

Oh, good.

Nod. They might not leave it active all the time, though; they seemed a little bit uncomfortable with the whole thing.

Well, he won't need it active once they're gone, right?

Nod. But I'm not sure how long they're going to take to get to that point.

Any way to guess in advance?

A few days wouldn't surprise me, I'm kind of expecting them to push themselves. But I suspect this kind of healing will feel weird to people who're used to having control over it, and I'm not sure how big of a deal that's going to be.

Why's that?

Uh, because of Angband. Sigh. I'm mostly just guessing, but it could be that it'll feel like that kind of... having something done to them. Hopefully not, but it's possible.

What does it feel like, exactly?

Nothing in particular, to me, but I'm pretty sure I don't feel as much of what's going on with my body as Quendi do of yours - regular healing doesn't feel like anything either, usually.

Hopefully it just feels like eating or something.

Hopefully. Or knowing they can make it stop might be enough to make it okay. We'll have to see.

I bet he'll be fine.

Mmhmm. Lean. Sigh.

If you want I could test out what it feels like, to be more sure, but I bet it's fine.

If you're curious, sure. I'm more frustrated that this kind of situation keeps coming up.

Hmm?

Where pretending they're okay means pushing themself to do something hard or uncomfortable.

Oh, that's just Maitimo. Even before he got hurt he was like that. Fëanorians.

Heh. All right. I still don't like it, but I'll try not to worry.

I appreciate your concern for him.
