Grin. You're welcome. Next round will be short, there's just a couple things that need to wait until everything else is settled.

Okay.

Yeah she's just going to go now. See you tomorrow, then.

Thank you.

'Welcome.

She's a little more snuggly than usual for the next couple days, but too busy - figuring out birth control for the humans involves lots of time spent observing them - for it to be very obvious.

Human health improves everyone's lives, but especially the Elves sent to look out for them.

Yup. She makes some progress on the language, too, so she doesn't have to ask them to translate for her all the time.

And a couple weeks later she shows up to finish up Maitimo's healing.

He is predictably still and anxious and thankful.

Well, this is quick, and it's the last of it.

Thank you.

No problem. And off she goes.

And he, healed, goes about his duties.

She continues to mostly avoid him.

A few weeks later she announces that she has a usable birth control spell for the humans; she'll need to check anyone who has it for side effects every so often, for now, but she's confident that it'll work and not cause any problems she can't solve and that it's completely reversible.

The Quendi throw a festival.

That's new. Not as surprising as it could be, though. Quendi.

After the third day of festivities she gets back to work - well, half days, anyway. She wants to get the humans enspelled before she starts working on immortality.

Everyone else takes the full three weeks off.

That's enough to get a good fraction of the humans enspelled. (Tirinquo comes with her and hangs out while she works.)

Some of the other mages are starting to get to the point where they can help.

Excellent. It's not a hard spell, exactly; the complicated bit was more in figuring out what to do than in doing it. She sets up a few demonstrations to get them started, and is snuggly and pleased when she stops in to see Findekáno that afternoon.

Got all the humans safe?

About half, the other mages can take care of the rest. I'm starting work on immortality next.

Oooh.

Yeah. I expect it'll be at least months, maybe a couple years, it's the same kind of complicated that the birth control is and more so, but I'm pretty sure I can do it.

That'll be good. You have lots of time, at least, even if these humans are like the ones in your world they'll live many more years -

Mmhmm. And I think Tirinquo's older than I am, but only by a few years, none of us are in urgent need. But it changes things, if I can be pretty sure I'll be around after the war.
