Sure. Poke.

"Oooh. Oooh - can you say things in different languages for a bit - what happens if we construct a language -"

Annie says some things in Noregrsk and other languages from home she's heard of - "I haven't tried making up a language, good question, but to be really clear if it worked I couldn't do it myself, could I?"

"I might ask Lírnith to try it for us, she learned a lot of human languages for her poetry and owes me."

"Okay."

Bounce bounce - "anyway, thank you and nice to meet you, I come find you if I'd rather be able to recognize people than speak all languages?"

"Right, adding and removing stuff is touch range only."

"Shame, you could un-oath Melkor's servants and I'd be extremely interested in what happened then."

"They've all got drawbacks, the faceblindness one is really mild."

"What's the unoathing drawback?"

"Uh, susceptibility to a severe psychological obsession, won't hit everybody who has it on for a moment but if it does it's potentially intractable. I really wanted to deoath some orcs but they could've wound up just as dangerous, depending."

"Orcs maybe, but I can't imagine that'd be a minus if you hit, like, Sauron."

"It would be worth trying on her if for some reason I was already in touch range. In the sense that at that point a lot of things would be worth trying."

...nod. "Well, I couldn't recommend to anyone that they try getting that close, not after having seen." Twitch. "We're probably safe here."

"Hope so."

And she leaves and settles in with Dwarves and gets to work and plays with the language thing.

And Annie reports that the prediction that they'd get along was correct.

"Oh, good."

"She was really excited about the language thing."

"Yeah, that - runs in the family. My mother invented writing, did I tell you that?"

"You didn't - wow."

"I know!!! I was about twenty."

"What's that in Elf years?"

"You mean, what human developmental stage is comparable to an Elf of twenty? Eight or nine."

"I would've hated growing up without knowing how to read. Well, I think I would, anyway, maybe if I didn't know what I was missing..."
