"If they're obvious, I don't exactly think of them."

"Fair enough, but if they come to mind in a sufficiently sayable fashion at least don't assume they go without saying."

Permalink

"Yeah, okay."

Permalink

"That looks really complicated," she remarks of the loom design.

Permalink

"It's a hard problem. Do you want me to explain?"

Permalink

"I'm not sure I can wrap my head around it but I'll try."

So he sets himself only-a-bit-impatiently to explaining what looms do, what a mechanical one would need to do, why he tried and dismissed some simpler designs, where the tricky bits are, and so forth.

She tries to follow, but he really has a leg up on her on this subject.

Permalink

He seems to find this a bit satisfying. Eventually he even remembers to be polite. "How was your day?"

Permalink

"I met a reembodied person. She was nice."

Permalink

"That's good! Did you see Rúmil? He's down there all the time, he remembers some of them."

Permalink

"Yeah, he introduced us."

Permalink

"Are they coming home soon? It'll be good to have everyone settled. The Valar can start the weather."

Permalink

"I don't know about most of them, but the one I talked to will probably come to Tirion soonish, she said."

Permalink

"Someone could take house plans out to them. So they had a place when they arrived."

Permalink

"I don't know anything about their tastes, I'm not sure I'd get the right plans for them."

Permalink

"It should probably be a house designer," he says. "Once we have crystal balls they can design their houses remotely, right?"

Permalink

"Sure."

Permalink

And he goes back to loom planning.

Permalink

She leaves him the necklace and goes off to work on crystal balls and long distance messaging.

Permalink

Finwë thanks her, the next time he sees her, for encouraging Fëanáro to apologize.

Permalink

"You're welcome."

Permalink

"How is Valinor treating you?"

Permalink

"Mostly pretty good."

Permalink

"I am glad to hear it."
