Well. What should they do, then.

She's not sure! Sauron at this point in the timeline has not previously come up. She doesn't seem to be getting any sourceless truth about it. They could make guesses about evil things he might be doing and check there first? Like, what would Melkor want done in his absence?

Breeding orcs, probably. And monsters.

Which would be all over on Beleriand and not where they're normally looking, yes?

Yep. They will go look!

And they shouldn't tip him off unless they are ready to arrest him right then!

Yup! Understood! They'll be sneaky!

...Valar can do sneaky? This is news to her.

They'll enlist a Maia who can, at least!

Okay, she assumes they know the resources at their disposal.

They do! Thank you for explaining incarnates, Elspeth.

They're welcome!

And Rúmil bounces back to Bella. "Vala asked how they could apologize, I suggested they give you limitless mana like the Maiar have. Can't do that, apparently, but can ask Olórin if he wants to be mana-pool-escort whenever you need him. If you want to suggest a more suitable apology I can convey that?"

"Oh boy. Uh, I haven't given any thought to non-verbal apology forms but if Olórin wants to be a mana pool escort that would be really nice? Pity they can't just use your idea but it'd be nice to have Olórin around."

"And Melkor's staying jailed."

"Good for Elspeth."

"Might ask them, once they've got Sauron dealt with, for portals like Stork and Shine have, that seems like a nice idea."

"It'd be great. And Fëanáro could visit his parents!"

"Exactly!" Hugs. "Were we going to try to get Vanda Nossëo's empire-scheming?"

Hug! "We were! T'Mir's going to bounce around on her own tour tomorrow to meet people and see places, and will not have a Fëanáro along to account for, so she says she'll park in Vanda Nossëo till whoever's best suited to handle that is free."

"Sounds reasonable! That does mean I should go home so I can make my appointment with the Materian Finweans."

"Yeah, we weren't gone long enough that she stepped in on that after all."

"It was a delightful trip and introduction. Even if it's suddenly infinitely harder to keep an eye on him."

"It kind of is, yeah. At least all the most interesting places have people who'll look out for him?"

"That they will. Your alts are all lovely."
