"I don't actually remember what I've looked up lately. It's like really easy, you just load up an entire article on the history of Shi Alassei if you forget the name of its capital, so..."

"Teach me to read?"

"Sure!" And she teaches him the alphabet.

Then they can pick through things in her pocket everything's history!

She has in fact looked through the history of Shi Alassei and also has cached the articles on several musical instruments, searched for some Voan recipes, gone comparison shopping for sheets, consulted some parenting sites, checked fan trivia on the film Twilight Band, read reviews of episodes of Garden of Song, downloaded the regulations for military reds in Tapa, acquired a basic Anitami field phrasebook, and queued up Twilight Band 2, which is on the everything in its entirety along with her music collection.

Once he's read through for anything that might be relevant for manufacturing and warfare he will feel no guilt at all about music and Anitami phrasebooking with the rest of the battery!

I'm gonna miss having recorded music.

I'm going to be working on it, it'd be amazingly useful.

That'll be nice but I mean like - going on the internet and just loading up on whatever.

That we won't have for a long time, sorry.

Especially if by 'whatever' she means 'desert-edge synth ballad concept albums'."

You could maybe try to give Macalaurë the gist and see what he comes up with.

Maybe, yeah. It's nice here and everything and she does appreciate the lack of infanticide.

It's not something I'd really thought to appreciate, but yes.

She snuggles Katin. Katin will not know her grandparents or uncle or aunt or world but she will grow up even if the war ends.

"What a thing to have a war over."

Guy probably meant well.

Terrible people often do.

Yes, well, he meant well towards reds probably, which is unheard of.

"I guess it's something."

The pocket everything has a little more charge left, what should it be for?

He can't think of anything. Macalaure should try to invent a song that charges it but that'll take a long time if it's even possible.

Wow that would be cool.

She puts on a song. Sings along.

He comes in to listen to the magic music thing!

It is not a magic music thing! It is a Makel Alasi song to which she has composed her own harmony.
