Beka is not sure what she was expecting as a result of walking into a snake monster but an Elf city would have been very low on a list of possibilities if someone had jumbled a lot of random words together into place-phrases and had her rank them. "Elf city" would probably have been under "spider void" and above "grape juice ocean". And yet here she is.

You're restrained in case you try to kill us, which is something that we are wary of because you appeared in a fortress in the middle of a war. We took your clothes in case they were magical or concealing weapons but we can get you new ones if you're cold or something.
touchme
She puts on clothes to the extent she can while chained to a wall. Is there some reason they don't just have, like, cells.
touchme
...but chains, those they have? She is imprisoned by badly written telepathic aliens one of whom looks like Grey Her and one of whom looks like Makel Alasi photoshopped weird.
goldweaver
We interrogate orcs sometimes. We didn't ask for you to randomly appear in our city, you know.
touchme
She can't, she was away too much when the baby was born, had to join the army to make money for the credit. She supposes telepathic aliens probably do not report directly to Tapai population control.
goldweaver
Many of those words did not make any sense and osanwë usually suffices to bridge vocabulary gaps. Uh. I'm very sorry that you can't.
touchme
Well they probably haven't heard of Tapa any more than she's heard of Beleriand. Not sure what else would be confusing.
touchme
Credit so she's allowed to have the baby. The baby was not planned and she had to buy aftermarket, marked up hideously, still not paid off. Population control so they don't have too many people.
goldweaver
Huh. We don't do that here. Angband doesn't do that, Valinor doesn't do that, Doriath doesn't do that.
touchme
...cause otherwise there will be too many people, and they will have to kill each other to have enough space and food and stuff.
goldweaver
Huh. You can explain it to the King and maybe after the war is over he'll look into it. Humans can't help having children, though, it just happens randomly.
