And you're sure your Moon and Sun aren't drawn through the sky by Maiar?

It is conceivably possible but then why have we never interacted with any kind of Ainu?

Yeah, good question.

And I don't think the other humans could dreamwork--not a single one had any dream stuff happen while we were there, that's statistically extraordinary for a group of people that size over that period of time when not a one is a trained dreamshaper, not if they have the ability, and none of the prophecies had any dreamwork in them--and no one in my original world could do music magic or create magic items the way you do it or the way the Dwarves do it or any way at all...

Okay, so that's not the explanation.

Maybe Orome told the others about me and they checked out my original world and saw that it was populated by humans and lit like so and decided that since this way of lighting things worked for humans they should copy it? ...Melkor's prophecies had a sun in them, but he only gave them after we'd been in Valinor a little while...

Maybe. That'd be more proactive than Valar usually are, but...

Yeah, I dunno.

Hug. "Maybe someday we'll ask them."

"Maybe." She doesn't sound terribly enthused by the prospect.

"By the time we've killed one Vala maybe the others'll be nicer."

"I will feel much better about the idea of being within anything range of any Vala once I'm magic enough to kill Melkor but, uh, I think if Valar understood incentives they'd behave--differently." Snuggle.

"Yeah." Snuggle. "We'll get Dad back from them somehow -"

"Him and Telvo and everyone who died on the Ice. Eventually."

"Yeah. Somehow."

He has a lap, right? She is going to turn back into a wolf and put her head in it and request ear scritches.

He can do ear scritches.

She loves him so.

Best husband ever.

If I were you wouldn't have died -

Mm, nope. Logically inconsistent. You are and I did so clearly the one not happening isn't a prerequisite for the other.

I love you.

I love you, and I'm here now, and you are an utter joy to come home to in wolf shape.

I'm so glad you're safe and okay - mostly -

Yeah. Hopefully safe and not a trap.

I'd rather have you as a trap than not at all.
