It takes her a little while. But - yours.

I feel silly for not saying anything - for years -

Nuzzle. It's okay. I cottoned on eventually. Alex is in for a bit of a talking-to, though.

You'd have wanted him to tell you?

No, I just feel the need to pretend that I would have while he does not pretend to believe me.

...okay, I can see doing that to my sisters.

Giggle.

My sisters who'd be horribly disappointed if they knew. Sigh.

Even Tyelcormë? wonders Isabella.

Nah she'd be fine. But is not the picture of discretion, so I'd better not tell her.

Yeah. I might mention to my dad - Renée would have a harder time keeping it secret -

Someday it won't be necessary.

Yeah. Nuzzle.

Someday the Valar will be entirely redundant and Eru will - well - go away, hopefully.

Here's hoping. Kiss.

Kiss. I think I might be able to convince the government inTurkey to deport everyone they're deporting to us if they prefer not to go where they're from, the Americans are being stubborn about the same thing but they have an election soon, that might change the calculus -

Ooh, Naked Politics Conversations, fun. If you wind up with a high human to Elf ratio and you're funneling from multiple countries at once then language barriers become more of a problem -

I might tell the Noldor picking up six or seven languages is a civic duty but that barely helps, they've got osanwë anyway - is there magery or psionics for it -

There's a handful of omniglots but it takes a long time - eidetic speeds it way up but not enough to make it trivial to pick up every language - there's language-independent psionic telepathy that can fill the same niche as osanwë but it takes a while too.

Can you hand out eidetic left and right, now, or are there limits?

Left and right but still one person at a time.

Could still get a hundred people a day without  wasting all your time on it, deputize them to translate -

Yeah. Heck, could charge them for it, I'm planning to sell the service next time I'm on Earth.

Oh, good, we can never be drowning in money too much - I should ask Laurië to come up with catchy songs that slip people Quenya vocabulary -
