"No, somebody Matt summoned went to a linguist."

"Does this create any problems -"

"Not so far but they found Elves living on Earth, today, besides you."

"- wow. Who -"

"I'm pretty sure these are Earthly aliases, didn't publish original names if they found them."

"They might not like us much."

"Crossed my mind. Maybe avoid Chicago and Vienna."

Permalink

"I'll tell people."

"I'll keep an eye out for further Elf-related publications. They're gonna discover Valinor, haven't yet but won't take long."

"I would love for intrigued daeva to swarm Valinor."

"They will have a hard time getting there but maybe somebody will manage to negotiate for travel privileges and boat the twisty."

"Long as it doesn't get 'em killed or trapped or whatever."

"I can submit a warning to the publication and then someone who's willing to see what happens if Valar and dismissal get in a fight can try it."

"Sounds good to me."

So Cam does that.

Other Elves in Chicago and Vienna do not seem to have summoned, to everyone's disappointment, because the text corpus is really not large enough to get anywhere on some of these languages.

Cam is pestered with letters about how he knows enough to announce that asshole gods may be monitoring attempts to closely investigate certain Elf-Related Things. He declines to answer.

And he fetches their communications demon back and gives her orientation and training and shortly humans will also probably know about Elves, that might be a bigger problem.

If Mrindeh reads news publications that are aflutter about Elves she doesn't let on; must have been one of the others who went to the linguist. She starts looking up adoption lawyers and houses with big yards in Virginia.

Awwww. They do a pilot program letting people communicate with demons to arrange summonses and letting daeva inform them about missing friends.

Permalink

It is not that hard under this protocol to find demons who want to go to Broadway or the Moon, or shake hands with Nobel prizewinners or actresses, or get human attention on this project or that problem.

Which is all for the good until 'find Valinor' is a problem they want human help on. 

...he could just discreetly filter the mail. He writes home asking for thoughts on the merits of doing this.

Seems hard to do inconspicuously-to-employers.
