'Cause of evolution.

Eru creates life.

...whatever, she isn't gonna argue.

"What's evolution?"

She is not sure she can really explain it because she is not very educated.

Okay. 

Can she just sorta contemplate the concept and see if it gets read okay?

Sounds great.

Evolution!

"Huh. Eru did actually make Elves, and not like that, they just woke up. I have talked to some of them about it."

These aliens are weird.

No Eru and no Valar sounds amazing, you're so lucky.

Not really.

Thing you don't wanna talk about?

"Just we don't have space. And stuff."

I would offer to help but I have no idea how you got here.

Yeah she doesn't know either and she's never gonna see her parents or her brother and sister again.

"You've only got two?"

"Three's a larger than average number of kids."

- how many do you have, Beka -

"Sixteen."

So maybe I don't have all my brothers either.

"Well, I'm adopted."

"Why?"

"'Cause my dad was dead probably and my mom was getting tortured all the time."
