She grins as he watches him go. Then she turns to her sister and the two of them catch up.

It isn't long after Ahyadacil leaves that Marille goes to see Maitimo.

"Hi! How're you doing?"

"Mostly well. 

My sister came to see me at your father's house yesterday and met Tyelcormo."

"They didn't have some kind of stupid fight?"

"She dumped glitter on him and he swore revenge. I think they were flirting."

"And you want a read on whether my brother is likely to break her heart?"

"I want a read on how likely this is to end with them running off to get married in the woods."

"I'm sure he'd be tempted, but I think he'd take - family - more seriously than that."

"Good, because out of everyone I've ever met those two have far and away the least regard for what's socially acceptable."

"That can lend advantages. New perspectives."

"Sure. Ahyadacil is the person I love most in all of Arda. I'm just...concerned...when she essentially declares a flirtatious vengeance war on Tyelcormo."

"Understandably. Would it be a bad choice for her if they ran off and got married?"

"Probably not."

"I will keep that in mind."

"Okay.

I hope things don't escalate too badly."

"That seem likely?"

"Sort of depends on how the vengeance thing goes."

"I can attempt to talk him down if you're terribly worried."

"I don't know as much about his as hers."

"What's she likely to do?"

"Take everything in his room and glue it to the ceiling in the exact same position it was relative to everything else before she got there?"

"Should be an entertaining few months but nothing I'd be inclined to intervene in."

"Alright then."

"Do you need anything?"
