"Well, we do vary and I don't know how picky it is, but perhaps."

"Not as a first resort, at least."

"Are all the people who seem to have Quendi versions here the same alignment? That might be a usable clue."

"Not all, no. Most of us are lawful neutral - Abadar's alignment - but my father is occasionally true neutral - that is, not lawful - and my brother Telcar was last I saw him chaotic good."

"Well, Tyelcormo lives on Endorë tromping around the wilderness rather than traditionally participating in society but I wouldn't expect him to steal a bicycle. ...I guess unless he really needed a bicycle? I could imagine him doing less due diligence than most Quendi about trying to legitimately borrow a bicycle."

This almost makes him smile. "I wouldn't expect Telcar to steal a bicycle either. I know him to have stolen some slaves, though."

" - and given them some money and let them go."

"Oh, I wasn't making that face about his behavior. Where is he finding them?"

"From slavers, whose caravans can be found on most of the major roads and in boats, or from individual slaveowners. There's also a slave market but we couldn't tolerate him stealing from there and he knows it."

"I'd like to go settle into my guest room now."

He gestures for someone to take her there.

She settles into her guest room and pulls her little note-taking device out of her pocket and she sings.

And someone brings the prisoner food and water and asks how he's doing.

"Sitting in a prison cell, and yourself?"

"Two people teleported into a facility we had assumed was impossible to teleport into today, so I'm going to miss my daughter's wedding. This is all safe for humans; I'm allowed to taste it if you want me to do that; if you have religious, personal or medical dietary restrictions we accommodate those."

"I don't."

"Well, here you go."

He kind of picks at it.

"Any questions I can answer for you?"

"Anybody shown up looking for me yet?"

"No."

"I would like to go home. I can tell them whatever you want me to tell them about your stringent behavioral standards for teleporting visitors, might be useful."

"Would you be willing to stay a few more hours? We are trying to figure out how this happened and whether it's going to keep happening."

"If you care a whole lot about whether I'm willing I feel like perhaps you would have done something other than stick me in an antimagic jail cell."
