"Yeah. It's like I said. I'm older than you are. In the Outer Lands I'd be grown up. And there's so many things I want to do."

"Does anyone know where you are?"

Permalink

"You do!"

Permalink

"Besides me. For example, is your father currently tearing apart Tirion trying to figure out where you are."

Permalink

"He probably asked a Maia and they probably told him."

Permalink

"So the Maiar know?"

Permalink

"They know most things, I expect they can find me."

Bella sighs. "What are you going to do if he comes right out to get you back again?"

Permalink

"We think faster than them, now, because we're out here! So I'll have invented invisibility."

Permalink

"It's a factor of ten. For you. Five for me because it's not treelit here and I'm going to sleep more."

Permalink

"That's a lot, though."

Permalink

"I'm not sure it gets you invisibility. Especially if you use up all your magic every time you wake up, right away. I am going to start work on putting up a house by magic."

Permalink

"I'm not going to use all my magic as soon as I wake up, that's something I did when I was nine. Now that I'm ten I know better."

Permalink

"Oh, I see, I should have guessed."

Permalink

"It's okay, I've never been ten before so you didn't have much to guess from."

Permalink

"Well. Do you want to help me figure out how to do a house, as long as you're here?"

Permalink

"Yes, definitely. I might have kind of already used all my spells today; I was still in the habit of being nine."

Permalink
"Then you can help me with theory."

And she lays out all her data and teekays it firmly in place against the wind and starts composing, full speed ahead.

He actually is a help, once he gets engrossed enough to stop wiggling.

She's glad to have him. She wouldn't have encouraged it, but she's glad to have him.

...So it turns out that the sudden mad rush to get a spell invented in time for his birthday is just kind of actually how long it takes to invent a spell as long as she has a decent pivot point and any practice freeforming in the gaps. They move along at a good clip. How long until a boat comes for the prince?

It's a week and a half.

By then she's got a cute little bungalow and she's working on flight. (She doesn't have any pivot points on mind-affecting magic; she's considering doing that entirely by subtle arts.)

Fëanáro's parents have both come. He has a screaming fight with them down by the shore.

Permalink

Oh dear. (Bella avoids Miriel.)

Fëanáro comes to find her in several giant building-hops. "They said we can stay for a few weeks, but they're worried Mum will try to bother you. I hate her! I wish she wouldn't do that! You're much better than her and I said so and now she's sad and now I don't know what to do."
