"How do you marry someone accidentally."

"It's a stupid soul feature that Flat Elves have! This one probably can't get married accidentally. The probably is because of the demigod part, the regular Space Elves definitely can't."

"Are you okay?"

"We're fine! Oh, hey, you might know this one - in Ardas where Elves have souls that are sort of like how Maiar work, they can get married by accident instead of with chip blessings, but I don't know how that interacts with your parents one of whom is chippy and one of whom is not?"

"Maiar can't really marry, not the way it's meant to work for Elves."

"I guess that's a way for that to be. Good to know."

"Why?"

"Filling in background information. When one has a more complete picture of how things are, even if they don't have obvious relevance, it makes it easier to learn more things and do stuff." Loki makes little brine icebergs to float on the water.

"What stuff do you need to do? Aside from fight the terrible god in this world?"

"I do spell development, I work on various things that require the use of my native universe's magic rock, every now and then I have to give a batch of orcs from a new Arda free will, I have some light ceremonial duties on Jötunheim, I'm one of the people cleared to make the highest level decisions associated with the multidimensional aid and logistics organization Vanda Nossëo..."

"Wow."

"Most of you hang out at home but there's the one who's empress of Mîr! She does stuff. She has a special magic power for finding new worlds and goes looking for ones that would be good protectorates for Mîr."

"Huh. I'd think my parents would worry."

"Oh, she's very safe! Although I don't think she's on great terms with her folks."

"That's too bad."

"Why? Your parents sound terrible."

"This sort of situation doesn't really play to their strengths."

"They run a very comfortable isolationist forest kingdom for the Elves who live there!"

"Yeah, and that's hard, with the war the way it is. But most strange things are bad things in our world."

"Yeah, makes sense, it's not like Melkor wouldn't fuck with you if he had an opening."

"But you're pretty sure this evil god won't?"

"You shouldn't let on you're from another world should you run into him. His thing is randomly killing half of everyone, and he doesn't know about your Arda."

"I don't think that'd help us."

"- don't think what'd help you, murdering half of you? Yeah, of course not."
