" - that is pretty worrying."

"Yeah."

"Maybe we can ask around and figure out what help she might need."

Nodnod.

"You shouldn't - marriage isn't about giving orders. Even if a lot of free Liars seem to think so."

"Yeah. I'm just - worried this might be a minority position."

"Maybe they will come around once their other problems are fixed."

"Yeah. Maybe."

"Maybe the free liars can live with Quendi. I think we're a better example."

"Yeah. I'm glad the Quendi exist. Both - because of how much you're helping us and because, like - otherwise I'd be kind of worried that free people just automatically create a bunch of other internal oppressive systems and it's only slaves who are able to be equals with each other."

Headshake. "Dwarves and orcs don't have slavery either."

"That's good."

"I think probably it's the scarcity. Scarcity isn't good for people."

"Yeah. Maybe so."

"And the free liars won't have to worry about it."

"Yeah. - depending on how badly we break everything, I guess."

"I think that it'll be very hard but that the liars will mostly be okay."

"I hope so. 

"I guess I can - go ask some people if they're aware that the fairy has a slave."

"Seems like something important someone can do but I can, if you're tired."

"Nah, I can do it. Thanks, though."

She heads back over to Fazil.

"Hey."

"Hi! Are you guys, uh, like, aware that the fairy has apparently enslaved the woman over there in the forest?"

Nod. "She was freed for a little while as a side effect of the whole misfortune nonsense but it made them unhappy and they asked Elizabeth to enable them to fix it. He says he'll marry her. I don't know what he's waiting on."

" - okay. Is, uh - does he understand marriage and slavery to be different states - "

"I think he mostly thinks of marriage as a human thing that will make her happy but I don't think he's less committed to it for that."
