"And if you're ever not happy you should definitely leave."

"I left my owner even when that meant walking into a magic," she points out.

"Yeah. That's good."

"And apparently Cathei will like having another one her age. I guess maybe the little Katin will also like having a larger Katin?"

"Probably. And there might be more babies because Amentans are crazy about that."

"It's cute how you have more kids."

"We're probably going to have lots. It was scary during the war but it's good now."

"Cute."

"Thanks." 

And he goes home to pet his Rebecca.

Mmmmm pets.

"I wish they'd - object more to being mistreated, then I could worry less."

"Are they being mistreated?"

"No, but if they were they might stay!"

"...is he going to start?"

"I don't know! Hopefully not."

"If he's not is it bad?"

"I'm not sure."

"I mean, you're not going to mistreat me, so it's a good thing that we're married forever, right?"

"Yeah, of course."

"So maybe it's fine that they wouldn't leave as long as they wouldn't have to."

"I guess maybe." Hug.

Hug. "I love you so much."

"Love you too!"

The next day Shasali comes back from talking to Ulmo.

"There are more Elves! And more Pekas! Their Elf world was even worse and they don't get along well with the new Elves. Get anywhere with Ulmo?"
