"We're not going back until we have both, right? I'll make my own necklace for mine."

Permalink

"We could go back with only one, but then one of us will be time-slid and I think we have had quite enough of that." She puts the necklace on.

Permalink

He starts working on his.

Permalink

And she gets to work on packing, since this won't take that long.

Permalink

It doesn't. He very swiftly has a necklace. He's pleased with it.

Permalink

"Tomorrow when my mana's all back we will go and not be time-slid at all."

Permalink

He spends the rest of his spells bouncing.

Permalink

So cute. "What are you gonna do when we get back?"

Permalink

"Finish the chemistry, write it up, send my letters and notes and questions to someone Ata knows who's studying under Vána in the subject, get better at pottery and embroidery, write more books, wait until Mahtan likes me enough to teach me metalworking."

Permalink

"Sounds like a plan."

Permalink

"What about you?"

Permalink

"See if anybody else wants a necklace, make as many as there's demand for. Put together another one of those lectures, probably, I've got enough material. Write down everything I can remember that I haven't already written down from my plane, because it's not going to feel fresh and recent forever. Invent more magic items."

Permalink

He nods. "To do anything in particular?"

Permalink

"I want a launderer. I'm tired of having to prestidigitate my clothes clean. And I want a crystal ball and a scriber although I'm sure that will take ages. I am told people will want to communicate with their loved ones who didn't come to Valinor, too, so I want something for long distance communication."

Permalink

"Those are good goals."

Permalink

"Thank you."

Permalink

And he starts writing again, necklace bouncing on his chest.

And in the morning they have breakfast and do last-minute packing and say goodbye to the permanent Tol Eressëa residents and say that if any of them want the bungalow it's theirs, and then she goes "oof" scooping up Fëanáro and both of their sets of belongings and away she flies.

"Eventually what I want to do is leave Valinor and build my own kingdom."

Permalink

"Gosh," she says. "How come?"

Permalink

"Because I don't like my parents and if I were leaving because of ambition that'd be more okay than if I were leaving because I wanted to avoid them."

Permalink


"Has it occurred to you that if you think your parents don't like you and that makes you sad, and you don't like them, you might be all three kind of stuck?"
Permalink

"Yeah. So I should found my own kingdom, and then they can have better kids."

Permalink

"...I guess that this makes the problem less relevant, if not less troubling. But it might be a while before you can go found your own kingdom."

Permalink

"Ages."
