So she helps Fëanáro label things until he crashes again.

When he does, and it's not until midafternoon, Finwë picks him up to take back home. Thank you, Isabella. I think he really enjoys your company.

I enjoy his company too.

He is a brilliant kid.

So brilliant! And passionate and very - emotionally lucid, I think is how I want to put it, and he's just generally so adorable.

I am glad that this arrangement has worked so well for both of you.

So am I. Thank you.

Every person who finds a home in Valinor is a great joy to me.

It's really great that you orchestrated the Eldar's move here, it's such a wonderful place to be.

It took a great deal of courage and creativity on the parts of all of us.

I would have had a really hard time if I'd landed before that.

Living in constant fear is damaging to a person in a lot of different ways.

Yeah.

Fëanáro said that the labels project was only partially to convince everyone to adopt his writing system and partially to teach you Quenya.

I find it easier to pick things up when I have written references, so since I was getting along fine by telepathy I put off learning until the alphabet was finalized.

You've been here for less than two months, dear, you have absolutely no obligation to apologize for being slow to learn anything. Not that you'd have such an obligation if it'd been a century, but really.

I have different habits about considering things delayed.

It took me several hundred years to talk everyone into coming here. I wish they'd have decided faster, but we have so many thousands of years out in front of us that what really matters is that they decided at all.

Yeah, I was never expecting to live that long. Eighty, ninety years and I would have thought I was pretty lucky.

I can imagine that would change one's perspective almost as intensely as living in fear of the Enemy does. And it sounds as if you had a bit of both.

Yeah, there was a mix.

He smiles at her. I'm going to go tuck Fëanáro in. God's blessings, Isabella.

Thank you.

And off he goes. It's still the afternoon. Rúmil, who is wearing a name tag finds her a few minutes later.

Hi!
