Magic sounds excellent.

Any idea what kind you'll want?

I'm not certain what the options are.

Well, I could do something for you with magic or you could learn some or I could make you a magic item, in ascending order of how long these things will take.

I would definitely prefer to learn magic. I dislike--failing to be competent in an important area.

Tomorrow I expect to have some of the simpler spells in scroll form and you can learn those.

Wonderful. Daphne, are you driving or are we taking public transport, I can't fit both of you behind me on my motorcycle and I don't have a sidecar.

How do people get around in anti-science world?

Carriages mostly.

Pulled by horses or magic?

Magic. People sometimes ride horses but most people don't have their own or anything.

Okay. Wanna try Science Personal Transportation or Science Public Transportation first?

Personal.

Okay, then our next stop is student parking where my car is.

Okay.

Car! It's not an especially fancy car or anything but it's a car. It has enough room for all the relevant people in it.

Okay, Daphne says as she pulls out of the parking lot. Preferences? There's a lot of stores fairly close together but it's best to know where to start.

When I'm not wearing whatever people in Valinor thought would look nice on me I'm very jeans-and-T-shirts, I mostly don't care though.

Thrift store first, I think, I love those, they have such great stuff.

Are you one of those people who is amused by dressing others up?

No, but I'm coming along anyway, aren't I, and I do like dressing me up. And maybe you'll find something sentimentally significant! Idaia found this thing, once, red corset with a short skirt attached, buttons up the front with silver eight-pointed stars. Wears it with a long white skirt underneath and a white jacket on top.

Maybe. I had a lamp shaped like a tree in my apartment, I'm not immune to sentiment.

Did Feanaro already have the eight-pointed star and the red-and-silver when you knew him?

Nope.

Well, that's a thing.

Makes sense. I'm not sure there's a reason for him to have that when he's, you know, a child.
