"Oh! That's younger than me!"

"How old are you?"

Permalink

"Almost three hundred - I suppose our years mightn't be the same length, though -"

Permalink

"Hell mostly borrows Earth years. They're three hundred and sixty-five twenty-four hour days."

Permalink

"I think Earth years are like a tenth of ours, let me ask -" pause - "yep, nine and three-quarters."

Permalink

"Oh, so I guess I'm about twenty in Valinor years."

Blink blink blink. "If you were an Elf you'd be this big." Gesture.

Permalink

"I was never that little, I was this tall already when I appeared. Daeva aren't kids. Except very rarely some of the ones who used to be humans, if they die young."

Permalink

"Huh. Well. Elves take fifty of our years to be considered adults and a hundred to be actually done growing."

Permalink

"We take a year or two to learn our first language, so I guess that's sort of like being a kid."

Permalink

"Maybe. Do you miss having families?"

Permalink

"Some daeva want babies. I don't think I've heard of anybody wanting parents."

Permalink

"Parents are nice. But I guess different species need different things."

Permalink

"I guess. I just learned things from some people who were near where I appeared and felt like teaching me."

Permalink

"How did you decide you wanted to specialize in architecture?"

Permalink

"The place I appeared didn't have any buildings! Everybody there lived out in the open. When I was four I made myself a little hut, and I decorated it until it fell down, and then I made one that didn't fall down, and the people there told me that if I liked that sort of thing I should go to a city."

Permalink

"That makes sense. Hell sounds nice."

Permalink

"It is!"

Permalink

"Strange, but it's for a different kind of people so that's all right."

Permalink

Nod.

She talks to the King; the King is all right with a few more correspondence demons, and with demons being allowed to touch other demons if they're all right with it. Bindings are revised accordingly. Zota can have friends over.

 

The tentative judgment of the parties responsible for such decisions is that Elves should not marry daeva because the daeva are likely to eventually get bored and leave their Elf heartbroken. No personal advertisements allowed.

Zota is so glad she can have friends over. Nobody has to read the personal ads, the label is so they don't use one of the others.

Permalink

Makes sense. "So should I send you home so we can do a circle that lets you cuddle demons?"

Permalink

"Yes please."

Home and back! And she summons her some friends.
