She did actually mention the concept of the printing press a while ago but they certainly haven't had it long enough for anybody to have a century of practice at it! Perhaps Men would also pick up electrical engineering decently, that is also new. What good and helpful Dwarves these are, Dwarves are great.

She just spends too much time around Elves, it lowers her standards.

That's probably it. Maybe she will visit Dwarves more often now she can teleport. When should she come back to find out if they want her popping around between Dwarf kingdoms? Also, how are the Men with babies she sent down doing?

The Men with babies are happy enough, and have been mostly too busy to work because of the babies but have had lots of projects suggested to them for when they're not so busy. They're eager to hear how everyone else is doing.

So Loki tells them how everyone is doing! She will be happy to come by every few days at least to leave and take letters for their friends.

Wow, that's a long time. And they don't have osanwë so she can't cut it down for anyone by selling flying lessons either, they wouldn't be able to get messages across once they arrived.

It's several thousand miles and for safety's sake they don't travel alone and Dwarves do not really ride horses.

...So if they get an affirmative they'll pay loads for teleported messages, right?

They certainly will.

Men scribes and printers sounds lovely, is the answer, though it sounds a bit insincere, and there are daily courses on electricity being taught in the lecture hall south of the palace and anyone who completes the course can get an apprenticeship no problem and Men are of course welcome to enroll.

Great. She goes and tells the Men the good news, insincerity be damned.

That is much more appealing than cleaning! The Men don't know enough Quenya yet to have a hope of following an electrical engineering lecture. Writings things they can do.

And the lectures will hopefully still be available after they've had a while to work on the language. She gives them an electricity-themed glossary.

They work with it. A few weeks later she gets a notice that one of the instructors is willing to teach the electrical engineering class in the Mannish language, and would be happy to also teach it at half the pace or something if that'll help them learn.

...she replies that she's glad to hear they're willing to tailor the course to the students as they go. Anybody more interested in electricity than Quenya, there you go, make her proud.

The course is really really hard, it assumes a fair bit of math knowledge, but the instructor does seem sincerely willing to backtrack and start where her students are. Even if her students can't solve an equation.

Good for the instructor. (Hey, printer Men, maybe it'd be good if there were a math textbook in circulation.)

This does not seem unreasonable. Loki thanks her for the help.

The Elves are also doing combat training. They're not as dreadful at it as Loki anticipated when she'd heard they'd never fought anything before, but they're far short of Asgardian standards.

She gives them a few pointers when she's between spellbits.

And the weeks pass. Stores start opening in the center of the city.

Oh yeah? What kind?
