"Would you actually conjure all my possessions if you were suspicious I was concealing something I didn't want you to know existed?"

"I might, yeah."

"Huh!" Lissa doesn't seem especially bothered or offended, though. 

"I don't go around doing this all the time but it would be sort of concerning if you were trying to prevent me from discovering the existence of something you were smuggling into the Noldor base. Like, it's underwater, if it blows up it floods."

"I think this is quite a reasonable policy. Anyway, it is not in my interests to try to smuggle something in without your knowing, much less to sneak in something damaging." 

"I guess." 

"Anyway. Last minute, uh, anything -"

"Vanyel?" 

"What? Er, no, can't think of anything." 

"Okay. Is the plan to just grab select Elves while the Gate stands open and then bring them here to talk at our leisure, with Alassëo ready to hold the door if something goes wrong so we can lightleap back to the door's location?"

"If we expect them to be nearish the Gate, I think that is a reasonable plan. We would need a way of getting a message to Alassëo, though, or give him conditions under which he ought to assume something has gone wrong." 

"He can stand over there and watch us through the Gate."

"That works." 

"Someone who can reach them will be in earshot. How long should I say they have to ask questions and grab more people?"

"I am not sure exactly how tiring this type of Gate will prove to be, but - ten minutes? Perhaps longer but I would not count on it. It will be easier if I hang back and stay near the Gate, or perhaps do not cross it myself at all." 

"Okay, sounds like a plan."
