"Okay." Kib writes down what she said. "Any potentially useful details...?"

Permalink

"It's dark."

"And you're somewhere normally Treelit?"
Permalink

"I am not sure where we are. We're on a coast. It's probably Alqualondë since most of the relevantly dead people live there and I can't see them all leaving. Alqualondë is definitely Treelit."

Permalink

Write write. "And it comes with the information that it's Fëanáro's fault but not how at all?"

Permalink

"Not how, or I'd presumably be able to do something about it."

Permalink

And apparently she's not the sort to just march up to him and stab him over a prophetic dream, good to know. "Arguing with who, about what...?"

Permalink

"I express a desire to stop him. Someone thinks it's unwise. There are - mutual accusations of not caring about the dead."

Permalink

"...Don't have more details or don't want me to have them? Second thing is fine but if it's that and I hear another prophecy that maybe links up with this one if I can come back to you with that -"

Permalink

"I can give you my best translation? It's mostly just angry words, there's nothing I'd think would connect with anything."

Permalink

"It might or might not, but it seems like these are deliberately patchy in such a way that small bits could turn out to be important to anyone who didn't happen to get those exact bits."

She bounces the dream. It's unhelpful; it's dark, she is smeared with blood, there are bodies strewn on the ground. "I'm going to kill him," she says, "I am going to follow him to the ends of the earth and make him pay-"

"Artanis-"

"You can talk me down tomorrow I am going to kill him I am going to kill him-" and she breaks down sobbing, and there's a hand on her arm -

"We need them."

"Fuck that."

"They already -"

"How are you okay? Why are you okay with this? Do you even give a -"

"I am not okay I am terrified you need to stop saying things like that."

"Oh."

And then, over osanwë. He is going to do it again.

Are you sure?

As sure as I knew he'd do this. And if you'd trusted me -

Kib writes very fast. His handwriting is unElvishly scratchy. "Thank you."

Permalink

"If there were anything I could do about it I wouldn't know about it. It's awful."

Permalink

"I will do what I can."

Permalink
"Yeah."

She leaves.
Permalink

Sigh. No obvious connection between any of the bits yet, but he organizes the notes into something more indexed and goes back to work.

Permalink

The Valar are going to set up the two portals about three miles outside Tirion, just in case there are problems. There's gong to be a festival to open them. Maitimo comes back from his break from work and starts planning shipping logistics.

Permalink

Well, with the grace ring a three mile hike is not such an imposition. He likes his grace ring. At some point I still want to give you a hug, he informs Maitimo.

Permalink

You are always welcome to come stay the night, he says.

Permalink
Will do.

Climbing in the window: also much easier with the ring.
Permalink

Maitimo, despite saying that, looks vaguely surprised to see him. How goes it?

Permalink

Waiting, mostly. Artanis bounced me a dream but it's not useful in isolation. Hug. He is not as strong as an Elf but he can try.

Permalink

Hug. Oh, is that why she cannot stand me.

Permalink

No, it's about something else, earlier I think, you don't feature. She didn't mention you, either.
