And Finwë races off.

Permalink

Bella follows at a dead run; she can do that now with her improved boots.

Permalink
Pressure, static - "Fëanáro went to the Outer Lands," Finwë says, throwing himself at Lórien's feet, and the world holds still for half a second, and then -

"Well," Lórien says, "we'll go get him."
Permalink

- she followed because she thought there might need to be a spell about it or at least technical consultation but maybe not. She just kneels there awkwardly.

Permalink

"Do you know where he is, Bella," Lórien says.

Permalink

"No. I can - if I can siphon some mana I can - do the summoning spell, though."

Permalink

"By all means go ahead."

Permalink

"I know this works on Maiar this seems like a bad time to experiment on a Vala in case I explode or something -"

Permalink

Lórien flickers and then Olórin steps out from behind him.

Permalink

And Bella siphons from Olórin and casts.

Permalink

And there is a Fëanáro.

Permalink

Bella doesn't quite collapse in relief, but she does slump and tear up.

Permalink

Finwë collapses in relief. Lórien nearly does too. Fëanáro scowls at them.

Permalink
"What were you thinking?"

"I told you. I wanted to grow up faster."
Permalink

Bella rubs at one of her eyes. "And you didn't think we'd call you right back?"

Permalink

"I can do it again. As soon as I have enough mana."

Permalink

If you keep doing this it is going to occur to somebody to siphon off your supply whenever you have any to stop you, Bella says, sharply, privately.

Permalink
He flinches. "But I won't."

"Thank you," says his father. "I have never been so frightened in my life."

"You're frightened of shadows."

"And you are no longer permitted to leave the palace."
Permalink

Bella flinches.

Permalink

Finwë carries his son back off to the tree, after thanking Lórien and Olórin and Bella.

Permalink

Bella shuffles along after and holds out the leaf.

Permalink

And they are back in the courtyard and now other people are also yelling at Fëanáro.

Permalink

Bella is thanked, by half a dozen different people, and then Fëanáro personal-space-bubbles everyone away from him and the courtyard is getting quite crowded.
