"Seems like a valid Valinor activity to at least sound them out on it but you do also have family there."

Permalink

"I did until recently. I don't know if any of them survived being murdered for their property."

Permalink

"Olwë's alive."

Permalink

"I'd love to meet him."

Permalink

"Well, what's the best way to ask your parents?"

Permalink

"...probably for me to run up to my father and say 'father, father, can I go to Valinor?'"

Permalink

"I don't have confirmation from Ulmo that I can bring people in and out, yet," Loki says.

Permalink

"He'll understand that."

Permalink

"All right then."

Permalink

Thingol does in fact understand that, and is willing to have Lúthien visit Alqualondë if Ulmo approves. If she will come straight back, which she all but swears to do.

Permalink
"I'll go ask Ulmo, then!"

...She has an eidetic memory, does she actually need Turgon or just the song?
Permalink

The song doesn't do anything. Turgon also doesn't do anything. "Sorry," he shrugs, "can only catch his attention if he's so inclined."

Permalink

"How often is he so inclined?"

Permalink

"Maybe half the times I've tried? Círdan can probably get him three times in four. To be fair to them, disinclined might mean 'currently in a really important debate up on Taniquetil', not 'off duty for the year'."

Permalink
"Fair enough. Thanks anyway."

She puts him back, reports delay to Lúthien and Maedhros.
Permalink

They are not bothered. Eight weeks from now is perfectly fine.

Permalink
Quendi.

She does other errands, popping things to and fro, taking orcs to visit their adoptive parents for a bit and then back, sees if anybody else wants to spar, flies -

- goes back in the hole.
Permalink

Fëanor does not ask any questions for which 'will you help your son hook up with his boyfriend' would be an appropriate answer. He does teach her the other dialects of Quenya, and recite a great deal of poetry in those too.

Permalink

It's nice. Makes the time less samey.

Permalink

And the ground does not shake and five weeks in there's a letter from Turgon saying that Ulmo approved the visit.

Permalink
Oh, nice. She didn't even ask Turgon to make a separate trip, she'll have to thank him.

She stays in for her full time, but when she pops out she brings this letter to Doriath.
Permalink

And Thingol worries rather obsessively and Lúthien smiles at him very pleadingly and it's Valinor so safety is not really mentioned.

Permalink

"How long do you think you'll want to stay?" Loki asks her.

Permalink

"Your schedule is the one it will be difficult to work around. I could stay a few days, or eight weeks, I don't think I'd feel comfortable going only for a few hours, it could be an inconvenient time for my uncle the King..."

Permalink

"I don't mind staying a few days, I could use a longer break in a new setting, and if you want to stay eight weeks I'm happy to pick you up."
