It's hours later when Loki and Cam bring Bella, Elspeth, and Jake to Vanda Nossëo and make it known to whom it may concern that they're here, news is available about the newest Arda and its adjacent world-with-a-Bell-in-it, and someone needs to relay Elspeth the spell symbols because Golden can't let mind-affecting powers including osanwë through her shield unless she trusts whoever is using them. And Elspeth wants to know if the non-evil Maitimo who was so upset is okay now.
"Yeah. Sure." Sigh.
She pops off to Evil Arda to see if Mandos requires much convincing to cough him up.
"I think he'll get along with his alts well enough, and they get along with the rest of us well enough."
"Crime rate is not the only thing I'd worry about, but - yeah. Something is wrong with that world."
"...possible. It is the only place we have to hop through on the way to Aurum... and it doesn't seem to have done Elspeth any harm, at least not harm of that nature... but it doesn't have much to recommend it as a tourist destination, to be sure."
"I'm genuinely impressed, I don't think I could have been sure off an hour's acquaintance. Well, not an hour's distracted acquaintance. Anyway, if his world even has the same people in it, I'll be curious if I'm right that they're not all evil, and if not that it's off personality somehow."
"Maybe Findekáno - I asked him to pick a nickname, he asked what I liked - will have a lovely time deciding if we should intervene in Shaagar's civil war and then I'll be in a good enough mood to talk to my alt about it."
"He doesn't seem to actually have impaired judgment except for preferring to interact with people more powerful than him as if they secretly want his very demonstrative submission. It's very confusing."
