"Cool."

"Some friends of mine who live far south of here are visiting Tirion, I'll probably take them to the music halls. If you're interested in attending a show."

Permalink

"I am," she says, "but I think I can probably sit around listening to music for... a maximum of four hours, I don't know if it's polite to go for just part of it?"

Permalink

"Oh, it's perfectly all right, we'll go to the sort of show that has mostly young people ducking out to stare adoringly at each other -" he frowns - "or something like that."

Permalink

Giggle.

Permalink

"Does three days from now work for you? My friends were planning to stay another week. Come to think of it, I wonder if they'd like necklaces."

Permalink

She checks her schedule. "Yeah, I'm free then. I'll enchant necklaces for anybody who wants them, but I can't churn them out that fast, I'm still mana-limited."

Permalink

"Understood. Does Fëanáro know enough to help you? Do I?"

Permalink

"He did help with the first ones, although he's even more mana-limited than I am and still working on not using it all up on leaping around. I could get you up to speed."

Permalink

"I would appreciate that. Most people probably won't mind waiting," his face twitches, "for the necklaces. But my friends wanted to make their visit to Tirion brief."

Permalink

"Sure. Now?"

Permalink

"Now seems like a great time."

Permalink

So she digs up another necklace out of her heap of gifts she has not had an opportunity to re-gift, and while he's got a detection on she slowly enchants it, explaining as she goes.

Permalink

"Lovely. Can I try it? Will anything happen if I get it wrong?"

Permalink

She gets another necklace. "Go for it. We'll be able to see with detections if it doesn't match and then we can figure out how to disenchant it; you'd have to do something really weird for it to backfire at us outright."

Permalink

He does not do anything really weird, though it takes him longer than it took her, and the detections confirm a success.

Permalink

"And here are two necklaces to give your friends."

Permalink

"Thank you very much. We'd be delighted to have you by for a meal before the show."

Permalink

"Sounds good."

Permalink

When she comes by, Rúmil's friends - two tall men with long hair worn looser than is conventional in Tirion - thank her in earnest for the necklaces and insist that in exchange she visit them sometime. There are giant lizards much taller than men in the south, it's a bit of an adventure, but everyone needs a bit of adventure in their life.

Permalink

She's not sure she needs giant lizard themed adventure. Maybe when demand for necklaces has tapered off and she would feel less weird about keeping her mana in reserve to fly away from giant lizards?

Permalink

This is fair enough.

Permalink

What else does the south have besides giant lizards?

Permalink

The city is built into the side of a great canyon. It's beautiful. Much smaller and quieter than Tirion.

Permalink

Whoa, a vertical city, cool. Do they just have a lot of ladders?
