"...That makes sense." Vanyel does not really have any other words to add. He's both appalled and relieved. 

"Why don't you talk to Stef about other precautions we might need."

"I'll tell Stef to think about it and then head to Velgarth. He wasn't intending to come, initially, but I suppose he could." It'll mess up the delicate logistics of the other thing which Fëanáro mustn't know about and which he's now worrying could end up in some sort of awkward pile-up if he isn't careful. Maybe Nerdanel will be safe to tell and can help finesse it somehow. 

"Thank you. I'll get in touch in a few days once Nerdanel is here."

"All right. Thank you." 

:Stef?: 

Hmm, what? Stef answer, as usual making his surface thoughts clear and legible to Vanyel's Thoughtsensing rather than actually Mindspeaking back. He feels worried and tense.   

Vanyel relays everything. :So I'd probably go now, and collect Fëanáro and Nerdanel in a couple of days. I'm not sure what makes sense for you and Jisa to do given that. Also I hope you don't mind that I volunteered you as chief spy in charge of preventing Maitimo from getting up to great evil in Valinor: 

No, of course not, just a moment. 

"...Findekáno? Vanyel is about to head to Velgarth, but not with Fëanáro, he wants Nerdanel to come too and that means waiting two days. I think you could go now? You wouldn't be able to take Maitimo home right away, or else Fëanáro will explode when he gets there and Maitimo is nowhere to be found. But it sounds like he would really rather have you there at all sooner rather than later. I'm sorry, I expected it to be less complicated." 

I'll go now. However, if Maitimo says that he'd like to leave, or if he won't answer questions about whether he'll be safe remaining two days, then he comes back with us even if this makes Fëanáro explode. Lots of things make Fëanáro explode. The letter 's' does it.

Stef nods. "I understand. Vanyel is coming and he's really mad at Telumë - and is also a way stronger mage, actually - so if having him loom at Telumë a bit while you make your demands would help he can probably do that." Helpless shrug. "I don't really know what's going to help here. We should go and see. I'll tell Jisa." 

"Thank you."

And since Fëanáro isn't coming on this round and there's no public Gate-terminus to use anyway, Jisa can Gate from one of the shielded Work Rooms that Vanyel uses in Vinyamar sometimes, directly back to the Work Room in Telumë's facility, and then shove the door open. 

:Telumë. I'm here with Vanyel and Findekáno, also Stef. Fëanáro and Nerdanel are both coming in a couple of days. Findekáno is furious and wants to talk to Maitimo right away with all the mind control off. Fëanáro is maybe less furious, interestingly, but I'm not sure how he'll react when he's actually talking to you directly: 

Pause for his answer. 

"Telumë is coming to meet us and walk over," she says. "He isn't surprised at your request and he's thought about it and is willing to have me take everything off." She starts moving. 

"How considerate," he says very curtly. 

And a very tired and miserable-looking and also kind of appallingly young teenager catches up with them just before reaching a door, which the teenager unlocks. He looks at the floor. "Jisa, go ahead, I think he is sleeping right now but it seems worth waking him for this, he sleeps a lot. I am not going in for obvious reasons. Findekáno–" his voice falters a little, "I am deeply sorry - about all of this - and also I know apologizing is not going to do anybody any good, now, it would be very understandable if you wanted to shout at me. Probably I have already thought of what you will say I did wrong, I have - done a great deal of thinking - but I doubt it would harm me to hear it again and you have the right anyway." 

"Did he know how long the plan was to keep him here crippled in this fashion."

"...No, since neither did we. In hindsight we should have had many more plans in place around this, but - I did not know there was a significant chance of rescuing him alive until shortly before he arrived here. And after I was - distracted, and not thinking ahead about it. That is on me." 

"His letter gave the impression that he expected to live out the next several years, maybe the next several centuries, under these conditions and was making a lot of decisions on the basis that he would not have any better capacity to make them at any point in the next several centuries."

"That was not my intent at all!" Telumë is visibly upset about this. "I wanted to send him back to Arda. It was very clearly terrible for him to be here like this. I just had not actually gotten as far as a plan, and everything ended up coinciding - the point when we had most of the information we could expect to, it was becoming clear that this was not emotionally tenable for him on the scale of weeks even, and - the other thing." 

"You had most of the information you could expect to, it was becoming clear that his circumstances were not emotionally tenable for him, you hadn't gotten as far as a plan, and under those circumstances you had sex with him and they coincided because you did that."

"I know! It was a very bad decision! I am starting to feel as though I have made nothing but bad decisions ever since I arrived back here." All of the reasons in his head why it seemed unclear rather than obviously bad are sounding very much like excuses, now. 

"Were you the person he would've expected to be making decisions about when the interrogation was done, whether he could have visitors, whether any of the restrictions could be eased -"

"Probably." 

"He told me in his letter you had sex twice, why does he think that? He can't remember anything."

"...He remembers the second time. We were - trying to figure out what to do, it was such a mess, I think Jisa asked if it would help if he remembered how he ended up married and he said obviously it would and she could undo the memory block for that period, so she did. He does not remember the first time but he asked me, when we talked about all of this, so I told him." 

"Are you in fact considering yourself - married to him."
