"'s supposed to be nice. 's why fairies use it for debt, so much, it counts for a lot."

Nodnod. Snuggle.

" - did you want anything else?"

" - gosh. We can keep going if you'd like." Kiss.

She looks mildly confused. "Well - I thought you wanted to - "

"I wanted to have sex with you. I did and it was lovely and I will do it lots more. But I was going to take a nap right now, unless that'll leave you needing me."

" - wow. Okay. You can go to sleep, then."

"If something's wrong -"

Headshake. "You just - didn't do the thing I thought you wanted to do. But what you wanted was much nicer."

Kiss. "We can try more things later."

Snuggle. "Okay. But this made you happy?"

"Yes. Very happy."

"Oh good."

"I have everything I wanted."

Well that is not how she thought this was going to go, but he can't lie, so it must be true, and if it's true it's wonderful.

She's just going to snuggle him and maybe cry a little and be very very happy about everything.

"Love you."

"Love you. Very much."

Well.

She waits for like five minutes and doesn't hear anything and then decides that she should probably be doing something else with herself.

So I think I need to be able to take more than one hit if I'm gonna go around killing evil gods, she tells Alex.

Seems true.

I am not really sure how to accomplish this. Right now I can make anything that attacks me crumble to dust, but even if it works on gods I don't think I currently want to wait to be attacked. I need to do something that, like... indicates to the spellbook that I want to be able to defend myself against gods.

You could ask the Valar to attack you?

I think the problem is that with most things, including that, either this wouldn't be dangerous to me, in which case the spellbook will probably give me something that wasn't very useful for defending against actually dangerous attacks, or it would be dangerous, in which case I might, like, die.

Yeah. Hmmm. You could make a lot of clones of yourself and send them into situations where they die? This would probably suck but it might work.

I guess I could do that.

Sorry.
