Fëanáro doesn't. "I really do need less sleep than you, I'm an Elda."

Permalink

"I know. Good night."

Permalink

In the morning he has some new magic insights and also a few chapters of the book.

Permalink

Ooh, chapters! She will read them over breakfast. And then back to work with insights.

Permalink

Fëanáro becomes visibly happier and more productive over the next several days.

Permalink

That is so good to see! At this rate they will probably have a spell prototype she feels confident enough to try casting in a week or two, although it might still be unreasonably draining and only last six hours or something.

He finishes the revised eaten-by-a-dragon book. He starts doing chemistry experiments. He helps a bit with magic.

Permalink

"What are you trying to find with the chemistry experiments?" she asks.

Permalink

"How the world works? I don't know. I don't have anything more specific."

Permalink

"Well, let me know when you have learned how the world works."

Permalink

"I will," he says.

Prototype: got.

"I'll fly over to test this," she says. "You'll be okay without me for a bit, right?"
Permalink

"Yeah of course."

Permalink
"Thought so."

And she casts it and over she goes, concentrating. She looks at her watch, when she lands, and thinks -

She comes back a bit later. "It works but it lasts half an hour."
Permalink

"Oh. Okay. We know some stuff about how to make spells last longer."

Permalink

"Yep! Let's see how many of them we can cram into this one."

Permalink

This project commands all of his attention. He doesn't even take bounce breaks.

Permalink

Wow, he must be really serious about it. Maybe they can get it lasting longer by the end of the day.

Permalink

If they can't, they can just not sleep. Not sleeping is Fëanáro's favorite solution to things.

Permalink

Bella can't do that! She'd be all groggy!

Permalink

He has perfect concentration right up until his eyes close and don't open. Perhaps this is why he likes staying up more than most people.

Permalink

Lucky him. Zzzzzz.

Permalink

The next morning he is still diligently working.

Permalink

"How far did you get?"

Permalink

"I think it might be better now -" and he shows her.
