"Fëanáro was enthralled by Pax too. They hadn't invented writing yet, when I landed, and he saw my textbooks, I'd landed with college textbooks, and he thought they were the most beautiful things he'd ever seen."

"What's the similarity exactly - do we just happen to have similar psychic signatures the way two people might have similar fingerprints by chance -"

"I mean, my going hypothesis is that you just happen to be really similar people in a way that is reflected in the signatures."

"Has that happened before?"

"Nope! I have never heard of it happening at all to anyone."

"My name is oddly close to Fëánaro."

"That's true... I don't suppose it means 'spirit of fire' or anything like it?"

"Sun-souled."

"Okay, that's weird. Uh. How are you related to the pharaoh?"

"The current pharaoh is my son. The last one was my father. 

- I'm really not very suited to it, see -"

"Fëanáro's very young, it... wasn't obvious if he was going to grow into it or not...

When I arrived in Valinor his mother Miriel was bedridden with postpartum depression?"

He goes very still. This is notable because he's normally a very move-y person.

"Sorry?"

"She died when I was a baby. Refused all resurrections. I don't know what it - was - it wasn't that she loved her afterlife, she ended up in the true neutral one which is very boring, working in the catacombs - I look in on her sometimes -"

- nod.

"We don't look alike?"

"Not really. I can see some resemblance if I squint but he's paler and a different species and a small child... though the gods did show me what he's prophesied to look like when he grows up one time -" Like so?

There's not zero resemblance but there's not a lot; the Quendi appear to have Taldoran features. 

"So yeah, never would have recognized you as - Fëanáro-like - based on the face."

"Did Fëanáro have siblings?"

"No."

"Huh."

"His mother wasn't really... oh, right, there's polygamy here, Quendi don't do that."

"Pharaoh's supposed to give Abadar as many choices as he can. - that's where almost all the selection power happens, they do commune with Abadar when they get appointed but they don't get half-overwritten with him."

"I might have skipped the class where that was explained? I've been here for like, a couple weeks."
