She giggles. Gods keep you, Loki.

Thank you for the sentiment.

It's been a very long day.

Yeah. She pushes on till she gets to the Fëanorians; she wants to crash someplace secure with guards. Zoom, song, zoom. Does it work better if she runs two at once?

It seems like the two are interfering with each other; sometimes she goes twice as fast and sometimes they cancel out.

Maybe she'll ask Macalaurë about that. She dismisses the extra, makes do with one. Eventually lurches into the camp dead on her feet, not having gotten desperate enough to try two sleep skippers in a row in uncontrolled conditions. Her guest room still open?

It is. No one bursts into cheers at her arrival, but then no one had been told what she'd set out to do.

In the morning all the Elves are singing. The same song they were singing earlier, or a variant.

She can also not brag, since they're occupied. Where are birds to change back?

They are all waiting outside, on the fence, or in one case on Huan's head.

Taptaptap Sorry for not stopping to do this last night, I was just shy of exhausted enough to try two sleep-skippers in a row.

"We figured," Tyelcormo says. He has immediately started cuddling Huan again. "Thank you for everything. Seriously."

"You're welcome. And thank you, all of you."

"For watching? The disadvantage to the unnoticeability was that we couldn't do much else unless you wanted us to, but it was hard to watch."

"For being available," she says.

"Huan says you were amazing."

"Thank you, Huan."

Huan is definitely still not done licking every inch of himself and Tyelcormo, but he does flash her what looks like an approving nod.

"I tried using two zoom songs at once insulated from each other and I got erratic results, sometimes one worked and sometimes neither did," she tells Macalaurë.

"Area-effect spells should work less well with two at once than person-affecting ones," he says.

"Yeah. I might not even bring it up if it hadn't intermittently doubled the effect; makes me wonder if they could be tweaked to stack somehow. Do you want two loops at different speeds to line up various ways and investigate?"

"I'd be delighted. Oh, and I imagine you'd want to know- we've now had someone in the enhanced-perception room for nearly three weeks with no ill effects yet."

"Ooh. I'll be less conservative with my dosage." She makes him two off-sync zoom song loops and a box for them. "Copy permissions on the oomph song?"

"Let's keep that one close to home for now? I'm alarmed by how much information the Enemy already knew."
