Harder to aim, too!

Try to avoid prodding him into inventing the first aerodynamic typewriter.

On the other hand... Might be fun. Enable very exciting academic debates.

Permalink

It would certainly drive demand.

Permalink

Or cause a larger controversy...

Though getting people to attack each other is not her goal this loop. Sadly.

Permalink

Just leave the possibility gently unstated.

Permalink

Might take a while to occur to people without help. 

Permalink

It's up to chance.

Permalink

Definitely won't be her fault if anything happens.

Permalink

Exactly. And she has a wife to vouch for the purity of her intentions.

Permalink

And Luthien is entirely above reproach.

Permalink

The most reliable of character witnesses.

Permalink

No biases whatsoever.

Permalink

Absolutely. (Kiss.)

Permalink

Heeeee.

...They should probably actually go talk to Feanor ever...

Permalink

Mmm yeah.

Permalink

Sigh.

"Should I do the talking?"

Permalink

"Would it be less confrontational if I did?"

Permalink

"...Hm. Unsure."

"Past experience says he often dislikes or refuses to talk to me, but also I usually approach things differently..."

Permalink

"I'll try first, and if it goes really bad, then we'll escalate to you."

Permalink

"A good order of things."

Permalink

Kiss.

"Shall we go, then?"

Permalink

Kiss!

"Alright. He's a bit of a walk away, but he's as much a recluse as me, so it's those nice forest trails..."

His estate is large, even by the standards of a people with a low population, no rush to be near services, and more space to spread out into than they can use. There's a sprawl of buildings, each beautifully and exactly designed to a different purpose, many of them dedicated workshops, a good number spaces apparently turned more toward his children's interests. Stables and pasture for horses take up a good bit of the actual open ground, and there are trees and hedges planted as sound baffles between some of the buildings. What grounds aren't given to horses are mostly carefully designed and maintained gardens with many plants Luthien has never seen before.

Finding him in this isn't trivial, though Mygwainor can get a sense of which building he's currently in - apparently a library, connected by a covered walkway to the main house.
