Annie will go out and camp with Rirosseth and Lírnith during this interval.

As soon as Annie comes back she gets hugged. I'm so glad you're safe.

I hope you're safe too, I hope they'll leave you alone when you don't give them the fight over the Silmarils they're expecting...

I'm so sick of them. It seems so - calculated, not giving them back, like they couldn't decide what to do with us so they decided to force us to let them kill us -

It's fucked up. And the idea that it would be challenging to get me someplace I could de-oath orcs - like, even if Mandos can only do reembodiments in Valinor it is not actually that it would challenge them to let me be there -

Unless he picked up that you wouldn't want to go without me - you should, if they'll let you, you'll age slower in Valinor and we'll come surrender once we have a cure to death -

You didn't come up at all - how would Eonwë notice -?

I don't think he could or I'd have said, but if we were married he could see that, I don't know if this magic does any soul things...

But if we were married Elves could see that too, right?

Yes. So probably can't tell.

Nod.

I know it makes sense to go without you if they invite me to Valinor but I will hate it so much.

I know. Me too. But having you for all eternity is more important.

Sigh. Lean.

Hug. 

And there is news about the twins getting to decide whether to be Elves or humans and their disagreement on that to go over too.

"Oh no."

"Yeah."

"Because I want to die -"

"I didn't have the impression it was just you influencing her."

"But it contributed."

...well, yeah, but Annie is not going to say that.

"Maybe if we figure out a way for humans to live forever she'll take that."

"Maybe. It sounds like she'll still have a long time, won't be all the way human lifespanwise."

"That's good, I'm sure they're going to get it eventually."

"I really hope so."
