I'm not sure what parts of the situation are relevant.

Permalink

I work for Finwë as an advisor, write histories, and was when Bella arrived primarily the person who managed relations with the Vanyar, a position I stepped down from because I didn't want to be away as often as it would require. It is possible that in your world I didn't step down, and if there were diplomatic crises in progress that I was in Valmar; if it is unlikely that I'd have been needed more there, it might be relevant where Finwë was and what he was doing. I should probably just ask it of this Fëanáro.

Probably, yeah. I did meet Finwe.

Permalink

Tell us about Fëanáro's children.

Permalink

She tells them about Feanaro's children.

Permalink

They sound really great.

And Tyelcormo's headed here to direct us all north?

Permalink

Yeah, and I need to get back to acquiring a trailer.

Permalink

Okay. He raises an eyebrow at Bella. Ours probably won't have those kids.

Permalink

Probably not. ...I'm not even sure who their mom is, she hasn't come up.

Permalink

Imliss? Do these children have a mother or did he sculpt and animate them, I wouldn't exactly put it past him...

Permalink

I wouldn't put it past her. Her name's Nerdanel and she does the most amazing sculptures.

Permalink

Oh, we know her!!! Good for them! Is she here too?

Permalink

She, uh. Didn't come with us to Formenos, let alone out of Valinor.

Permalink

I'm sorry to hear that.

Permalink

I imagine it was hard on him?

Permalink

It really was.

Permalink

He nods and frowns and lets her get back to trailer-searching while continuing to shoot relieved glances at Bella.

Permalink

Bella is in one piece and smiles at him and sets about the project of catching up on her old notes so she doesn't have to re-reverse-engineer so much.

Permalink

She manages to acquire a trailer, conveniently enough.

And after a few hours, "okay, he taught me this world's science and I taught him the basics with magic, as much as I could without anything to show, and this world has science starships and he's trying to build one!"

Permalink

"Ooh, science starships, that sounds exciting! Are there specific stars he wants to be at?"

Permalink

"No, just Venus, but that's a planet, not a star. It turns out that the Noldor can't live forever outside Valinor, we start to fade, which means we interact with the world less and less. He's a little bit faded. He's scared for when he'll be too faded to write. He invented a thing that fixes it but people kept stealing them because they were mean and awful and now two of them are lost forever and one's on Venus and we're going to go get that one."

Permalink

"Okay. He can't just make more of the things?"
