Relocations!

I should make an Orc Planet, Odette muses.

Yeah, even de-oathed they're not all huge fans of Elves.

Probably won't be a fan of me either. I've killed kind of a lot of them.

So did I. They actually seem fairly philosophical about that on the whole.

You did it in melee, right, or at least conventional combat, the kind of thing they could see coming and at least imagine being able to beat?

Some of them. - But you saw my fight with Sauron.

Yeah, but I was a flying elf-eyed being who made them keel over of no apparent cause whatsoever. Kinda different on a psychological level.

If you think that's substantially different from somebody who turns invisible or into a bird or both and flings accelerated magic songs around like projectiles and shoots ice out of her hands...

Maybe it isn't. I dunno, if it was me I feel like it would make a difference that you could at least figure out who was going to die next from where your weapon was. Maybe the teleporting closes the gap.

And the invisibility. Or the orcs being blinded with illusion, I did that too.

I'll be optimistic then. Although given the oath and stuff I think the elf eyes are probably still a point against me.

Yeah, probably.

Maybe I can illusion 'em to look like my old ones while I'm talking to orcs.

If you want to sit around long enough to receive the illusion spell I'd be happy to let you have it.

I'll take it on the grounds that it's distributable magic that doesn't hurt but I can do illusions on my own.

It's longer than the teleport spell, incidentally. Way more moving parts.

I bet it'd be less of a hassle than letting Curufin or Feanor or someone reverse-engineer it.

Yes, that would take longer. But they'd have such fun.

I bet they'd prefer to have fun on things that couldn't have been done without them.

Yes, true. I think you'll like Fëanor.

Tyelcormo keeps saying that! I'm looking forward to it.

When I first met him he was literally dying and I showed up and I said I had healing powers and he wanted to know about my language. He heard a few sentences, started making the most absurd remixes of the vocabulary, eventually determined on the basis of about a paragraph's worth that I wasn't the Enemy because it wasn't the kind of language anyone from Arda would have designed...

I hope he's not too disappointed that I only speak five.

Five will hold him for a bit. Although it's pretty easy to pick up more with the necklace, if you want 'em!
