"Oh, for fantasy purposes we can just assume that Erus aren't important for anything in particular."

"Was your 'tear Melkor apart by teeth' actual planning?

"Don't I wish," she sighs.

"I mean, maybe we'll figure out some Vala-killing substance and you can make it as part of your body because that makes it indestructible. But claws'd be likelier than teeth, if we go that route."

"Almost as good. Don't tempt me, love, you'll make me all disappointed if it doesn't happen."

"There are four hundred million of 'em, bet you can take one apart with claws if you want."

"Mmm. I look forward to it." She hugs him.

"Me too!"

She kisses him on the cheek. "So," she addresses her alt, "can you think of anyone off the top of your head we should be making the offer to, or should we just ask Imliss?"

"Um, a few--Daphne would know more than me, though."

"I think we're grabbing her pretty soon."

"I figured the offer was going to be made on the same trip, inasmuch as that's possible."

"Is it possible?"

"...Might or might not be. Problem is that we don't want the Milliways door open to Ozymandias for too long Ozymandias-time--there's no ongoing Morgothing to worry about but there's only so long we can control it uncontested..."

"Yeah, makes sense."

"So regardless of if we make a second trip specifically for recruitment, if there's anyone we can make the offer to on the first pass, it makes sense to do that rather than not."

"Sounds good."

So we should definitely talk to Imliss in the near future but we've talked to everyone we were going to.

Maybe it can wait a little longer.

All yours, for the moment.

Oh good.

Although we should probably go back to our own room before doing anything about it.

He leads the way.

And miscellaneous species features can be enjoyed.

Meanwhile Imliss comes down the stairs.
