"I guess they will but at least they'd notice that was happening and that it was their pen pal and not me delaying it and they could try writing to someone else. That's a long time, why would it take that long?"

" - that's not a long time. Humans just die ridiculously fast and so they're always in a hurry."

Permalink

"I'm not a human and it still seems like a long time to write a letter."

Permalink

"Well, I guess if people get mad over not getting letters more often and try to visit Valinor then we can stop doing the letters experiment."

Permalink

"...that doesn't seem like it would help."

Permalink

"Humans also have really short attention spans, they'd forget all about us."

Permalink

"I don't think so. Besides, even if they decided they didn't care about you any more they really want to go to the Dwarf planet, and you're in the way."

Permalink

"How are we in the way of another planet?"

Permalink

"I think it's in space from here, but not from Earth."

Permalink

"We don't care if humans meet Dwarves, I don't think."

Permalink

"But they'd have to come through here to do that."

Permalink

"Well, maybe we can set up a way that doesn't mean coming through here."

Permalink

"They would probably like that a lot especially if it didn't take a long time. Then the Dwarves could distract them from you."

Permalink

"That'd be good."

"I think that sort of thing is why Revelation wanted there to be a demon here so much. He wrote to me a lot about it. He forgot to mention the hair thing though. Maybe it was just that we didn't have any languages he knew really well in common then. I think he knows Quenya."

"Revelation?"

Permalink

"He's the person who told all the humans that there were demons, and angels and fairies. So now humans don't starve to death or anything any more, because they can summon us and we can make them food, things like that."

Permalink

Nod. "Well, I don't think any Elves have met him so probably he didn't know about the hair."

Permalink

"No, he knows some Elves. There are a few of them on Earth. That's how he knows Quenya. I think he probably just didn't know how to say about the hair in any languages I knew at the time."

Permalink

"The Elves on Earth don't speak Quenya, I don't think. Quenya's a Valian language."

Permalink

"He knows Sindarin too."

Permalink

"Maybe he knows Sindarin and Silvan, or one of the Avarin languages? That'd make more sense."

Permalink

"Well, I didn't know it was Quenya when he sent me a list of what he spoke but now I have Quenya so I'm pretty sure it was that."

Permalink

"Hmmm - oh, maybe he knows the Fëanorians. They might not have mentioned the hair thing because of being the Fëanorians."

Permalink

"I guess I could write him and ask, if it matters."
