It's the first day of Junior year and Idaia's feeling pretty good. She likes her classes so far, it's a beautiful day, and she just has an indescribable positive feeling. Her last class of the day has just let out and she has an entirely tolerable amount of homework.
Her phone rings.
"Hello?"
How long's it going to take? Might as well just use my dorm, still haven't dropped out.
She does it all the time anyway, if I explain the situation she'll smirk at me and congratulate me on getting laid and if she doesn't want to go have sex with someone she'll probably crash in Gloria and Klaudia's spare bed. I've done that plenty of times to give her privacy.
You should meet Gloria and Klaudia too! I showed Gloria my illusion of the Silmarils once and she's been tearing her hair out trying to paint 'em since.
Try telling her that, she's got an ego reminiscent of your dad's.
I don't think either of those things is going to make her give up! "He earned it by doing" is only going to make her more determined to earn it! I don't think you can get killed painting things!
Okay, how about "she doesn't have an evil god and a Doom fucking her over"?
Your dad's ego didn't get him in trouble until he started making swords instead of insanely genius things. Not that I'm criticizing the swords, but. Different categories of thing.
Seemed like that was more in the Oath than in the making of them.
No. Melkor killed my grandfather for them and the Valar tried to coerce my father into giving them up long before the oath.
True.
But--you needed them to exist outside of Valinor in the long term, right?
So I'm inclined to say it was worth it.
...How long is long term?
We're still mostly here. We go translucent if we don't concentrate enough on being fully present.
