"I'm also really glad there's other worlds with things like oath-removing magic."

"Yeah, seriously."

"And daeva who can do things like tunnel through the Earth's crust and heal burns."

"That part is excellent!"

"I'm quite pleased with my alt! She's quite excellent even separate from her excellent powers."

"I am very eager to meet mine."

"Yeah. Their concerns about forking without being able to obtain consent are pretty reasonable, though."

"Yeah, definitely. Though they grabbed our cousin."

"I've been assuming there were extenuating circumstances possibly relating to whatever they're avoiding telling us probably about Mirror."

"The Mirror problem is that everyone's really fucked up, right? I can't think how anyone would go 'oh, you know what we need to sort that out, a copy of Fingon'..."

"I don't know either."

"Is there even someone to ask, everyone seems either busy or in the case of my alt-brother just mysteriously absent."

"...Mysteriously?"

"Oh, did he tell you where to find him?"

"I mean, I don't know his room number, but I think--wait, did you not get filled in that he's dating the not-Idaia's-alt demon, because that's a thing."

"I did not get filled in on that, no. Who has been filled in on that."

"...I think everyone not from Ozymandias? My alt mentioned it casually, she certainly didn't treat it like not-general-knowledge."

"Okay."

"I think it came up that Abbadon doesn't have our Valinor's homophobia thing, wasn't alternate-Tyelcormo talking about that when he dragged us all outside for popsicles."

"Yes but the inference that follows is that our Maitimo is attracted to men and while I'm sure he's noticed that his alternate is I wonder if he knows that it's public knowledge his alternate is."

"...Good question? I mean, he heard that Abbadon doesn't have that issue too, there really isn't a good reason for it not to be public knowledge."

"I suppose not."

"I'll mention it anyway when I go back in."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."
