"That would be nice if we had enough space."

"That's what Pelape said."

"It sounds like the magic will really help."

Nod. Cling.

Hug. "How old is Bella?" she wonders.

"She was eighteen which is the age humans are grown up when she arrived, and the Valar made her not age, and she was there for a year and a bit and then it's been almost a year since they made her leave."

"Are these all the same years?"

"No, the first eighteen are Materia years, which I think are shorter."

"How come you're adding them all up like they're the same, do you not remember how much shorter?"

"I don't think we were quite sure because of the timeslide messing with things. Maybe ten times shorter."

"Wow. Heck of a time slide."

"The Valar got mad at us for getting around it."

"Why?"

"They want Valinor to be peaceful and doing things really fast isn't peaceful."

"...uh-huh."

"Stupid. And evil."

"I'm getting the impression."

Someone returns with a green hat.

He tucks his braids under it and clings more to Pelape.

Snuggle. "I'm not very good at balancing and I'm worried if I try to carry you far I'll trip. Let me know when you're up for walking. We can hold hands if you like."

"I can walk." He hops down.

And she will hold his hand! And they can follow the government people.

Government people have a car waiting out in front of her building.

Sort of intimidating but okay.

Can you keep explaining things it's really helpful.
