You'd need more - variety, I think, for that.

Permalink

...and a better understanding of psychology.

Permalink

They're trying. Just too slowly.

Permalink

They haven't slowed this place down nearly enough to accommodate them. - I wonder if that's why they picked this, um, method...

Permalink

I think it was probably among their motivations, yes.

Permalink

There's fourteen of them and lots more of everybody else. Well, more Maiar. How many Maiar?

Permalink

Tens of thousands. As I understand it. Many of them very minor.

Permalink

Okay, so maybe it's a better tradeoff if you count the Maiar, but still.

Permalink

It also means that being able to do anything for which you can get a Maia's approval is quite the loophole.

Permalink

I guess that's true. For example, if I ever want to explode something...

Permalink

He laughs. What's Fëanáro working on?

Permalink

Translations, he wants to translate all my textbooks. He's also been thinking about how to get words Pax has and Quenya doesn't widely adopted. And he finished a draft of a water-spraying spell that's supposed to help him let off steam so he doesn't hit his head on things when he's upset.

Permalink

Oh, good. That gave his parents a lot to worry about.

Permalink

Yeah. It won't work if he's out of mana, but it should at least sometimes help. And I think I convinced him to apologize to his mother for something he said to her in his general freakout, haven't heard back on that yet.

Permalink

She has so much in common with him. She works extraordinarily quickly, you know, on her projects, she struck me as someone who'd appreciate a necklace...

Permalink

I'm sort of limited in my ability to tell him anything about her. Walks a very fine confidentiality line.

Permalink

Yeah. I'll try talking with him about her more.

Permalink

Might help. Especially if you can help him decipher her social signals, because they haven't been landing.

Permalink

Another way in which the two of them are alike. He sighs.

Permalink

Yeah. And I can't tell her what he means, either, because I can't talk to her. Except once a month.

Permalink

A fine mess. Still better than if you hadn't come, though.

Permalink

I hope so.

Permalink

The next day they return to Lórien together.

Permalink

Does she want to see me now or should I ask about the memory restoration thing first?
