He keeps singing.

Eventually she's done eating, and stares at her plate for a few minutes, then gets up and walks to Fëanáro. Can I hug you?

Yeah. Wing-hug.

Hug! Slightly clingy hug. Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm going to—I should lie down and sleep a little, I haven't slept since yesterday.

Okay. You can write me when you wake up and I'll come back.

Okay. I will. Thank you, she repeats before unhugging and sluggishly going elsewhere.

He sings. He goes outside after a while, keeps singing.

No one stops him or does anything. Some people stop on their tracks to listen, when he passes by them, but eventually move on.

After a while he takes to the air.

And after a while Eidolon joins him. Still as mind-silent as ever.

Hi.

Hello.

It's nice to meet you. Is there anyone you want me to sing for?

...no. All the people I failed to protect, maybe.

Okay. Someday we'll get them all back. Soon, if you can get a power that works with demon powers to do resurrection. They didn't sound sure anyone could but if anyone could it'd probably be you, I think.

Perhaps. I don't think my power could understand bringing people back as a need, in the relevant sense.

How does it decide, do you know?

What I need, always what I need, at the time. It has no foresight and no ability to tell me why I need whatever it is I need.

That's sort of cool, though. Like a puzzle.

I won't say I dislike my power, but it's somewhat difficult to enjoy the puzzle when I mostly need powers to use in situations where time is a scarce resource.

Like fighting Behemoth? Or are there other problems like that? Does it not give you powers for, like, world hunger?

Like fighting Behemoth or other threats, yes. It does not seem to think I need to solve world hunger.

That must be frustrating.
