There are some questions, but not very specific ones. This is clearly not an area they have preexisting assumptions or knowledge in.

Permalink

Loki tries to ground everything she's saying in concepts they'll be acquainted with.

Permalink

By the end a few more people are hanging around, intrigued.

Permalink

"Questions?"

Permalink

None are volunteered. Someone is muttering the contents of the lecture to herself under her breath.

Permalink

"If anybody wants copies of the diagrams attached to pieces of paper I can provide. The paper's not very good and will break down, and if it tears the illusions will stay where they were, but it'd make a reference."

Permalink

Three people take her up on this.

Permalink

She passes out inferior paper with diagrams stuck to it.

Permalink

And they fairly rapidly disperse into the increasingly crowded city streets.

Permalink

Loki pokes her head back into the house. "Thank you very much for hosting me."

Permalink

"My pleasure," she says. "Feel free to return any time!"

Permalink

And Loki waves to the kids, and turns into a bird, and collects a bag of lobsters, and flies away to Doriath.

Permalink

She hears Lúthien as she's getting close. Loki, Loki, Mother's better!

Permalink

Oh good! ...Could you tell when I was approaching or have you just been saying that every now and then since she woke?

Permalink

You heard me!!!!! I've been saying it ever since she woke. It seems like we can't reach all of Beleriand yet. Perhaps as we get to know each other better.

Permalink

I didn't hear a peep until just now. I've come from Brithombar. With a bag of lobsters. She alights at the border and follows her flowers in.

Permalink

Oh, yum. What'd they say about the orcs? Círdan's wise, isn't he?

Permalink

He is! He says the island's available as far as he's concerned if the orcs don't mind it being available for strategic fallback from the city; and he says if Ulmo objects to orcs the orcs can have Arviernen.

Permalink

There's no one in Arviernen? It's beautiful, we used to go there for summers, but populated.

Permalink

Apparently no longer.

Permalink

I didn't get details. But I brought greetings from a couple of Brithombar people... These she relays as she has them written.

Permalink

Happiness, recognition, familiarity. Brithombar is a good place. They didn't used to live in the city, they were spread out across half the continent, but when the war came they reacted very quickly. They didn't have Melian so they built walls.

Permalink

They have lots of lobster but are looking forward to Valinor crops the Fëanorians anticipate sending them. They're going to ask Ulmo's permission to have a fish farm and not bother to ask anyone permission about having chickens for eggs, I think.

Permalink

Oh good. A fish farm. I expect Ulmo won't mind, Yavanna approves of land farming.
