- she could probably push longer, but she only spends a fairly short time adjusting and visiting, and she doesn't want to space out the visits too much. She pops out eight weeks later.

They have true seeing floating in the sky. Not enough of it, but the proof of concept is up, and they're working on getting more out.

Permalink

Shadowcatchers stay for now?

Permalink

Yep. Thanks.

Permalink

And how's Maedhros?

Permalink

Alone, for once, when she pops in.

Permalink

Whoa, you got them to leave you un-stared-at.

Permalink

It's something. How's it coming?

Permalink

I'm optimistic I'll hit the low end of my estimate.

Permalink

Congratulations. Can we visit Fingon today?

Permalink
Sure.

Pop.

This time he takes a little longer to join them. "You know, you could give me a time in advance."

"I don't know it," Maedhros says.

Permalink

"I'm settling out to a once-every-eight-weeks schedule but time of day is really pushing it," Loki shrugs.

Permalink
"And I can't take a day off that often." He sighs. "Thank you all the same." And then he is not paying her any attention at all.

"You look better."

"I think I am interested in trying not having four layers of blankets, if you are willing to hold very still and not be startling."

"How goes not assassinating Thingol?"

"He's a very nice person once you get to know him."

"Is he?"

"No."

Loki politely ignores them back. Ho hum notebooking notebooking. She can do this in the hole too but she mostly doesn't.

Permalink

Maedhros cheerfully accompanies her back. "You should probably have spent more time exploring the space of things you can do with your breaks, I"m sure there are things more refreshing than this."

Permalink

"I fit in other things; I can do a lot in a day. I usually fly a bit. Having recovered from the no-swordfighting portion of the adjustment period I may see if anybody wants to spar today, wouldn't want to go home all rusty."

Permalink

"You probably no longer have so embarrassing an advantage of us in that; they've been training extensively, even though at this point no one really expects it to come to hand-to-hand fighting."

Permalink

"So that'll make it fun and I won't have to see if four people want to spar."

Permalink

"Give them my best."

Permalink
"Will do. See you in eight weeks."

Pop.

Anybody want to swordfight? She can do no magic swordfights to be fair. She can even have her sword be one shape the whole time, although she's actually partial to polearms if she's not going to change it around.
Permalink

This is still not going to be anything resembling a fair fight. There are volunteers anyway.

Permalink

She'll take on a group if they like! She's in this for fun, not to make them look bad.

Permalink

"We're not really in the habit of getting angry at people for being more skilled than us," Celegorm says, "group might be more fun, though."

Permalink

"Whatever you like. Although if I'm fighting more than five people I do want to be allowed to reshape the thing, I base a lot of my strategy around it."
