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.
I don't know. Snuggle. I can't imagine marrying someone who wanted me never to see you again.
Compared to orcs, I'm sure. There's probably some people out there who wouldn't mind.
Would you want that? Staying with me forever even when I start a family and so on?
...well she doesn't know what else she'd do, she can't just hare off on her own, she has to be locked up all the time.
She has no idea what she might have sworn (she avoids guessing) so maybe if they killed everybody who might tell her that'd be enough.
She likes him though.
I like you too. I'm happy with this - seems better than being married, really. I just - try not to make promises I might not feel the same way about in five thousand years.
Someday there'll be a place as rich as Valinor and as free as Beleriand, full of children with nothing to be afraid of. If we win.
It's lovely. He sings it.
He waits for the Enemy to do something.
The Enemy...still doesn't.
Elsewhere, a human looking girl in pajamas, holding a baby in one arm and a glowing rectangle in the other, appears. She does not know how to keep private thoughts and is super confused.
He checks on Beka. Beka is not wandering in pajamas.
No, I did not.
