"The Elves have - I thought Elves don't die."

"Oh, let's see, do I have notes on the -" Rummage rummage. "They do if they keep yelling at the god of the dead for reembodying them."

"Ah."

"My mother didn't want to die."

"No one's saying she did, the Elf versions are obviously a lot of kinds of different -"

Look how unopinionated this demon is.

He goes back to his book.

"...the Elf version of Minor does outgrow the grudge, I hope?"

"Never actually discussed it with him, somehow."

"Right, I suppose you were all busy with far more important stuff."

"I had some downtime, mostly while flying to and fro, but Curufinwë was generally working on technical problems in a stationary sort of way."

"I really wanna meet him."

"Unfortunately even if I open the door for you traveling by lightleaper takes five days to get where he is."

"That's not that long. And I bet he could help us figure out the modernization stuff so we can get the Philosopher's Stone faster."

"Someone'd have to be holding the door, though."

"I'm sure at some point it'll be worth coming up with a rotation of door-holders and making the trip but when we have a more complete proposal in mind and know who to steal away, I think."

"I guess I don't wanna meet him while I still don't know anything and he'll think I'm stupid."

"We might end up wanting to kind of steal a bunch of people. Definitely worth waiting."

"...Do avoid mentioning to other demons that Quendi can be resurrected, it'd be a mess. But the same way that's doable, they could also be duplicated if they so desired."

"Be a - ohhhhhh. Yeah, noted, though at some point it'll be obvious there're two Earths. - I am not at all sure I was convincingly from 2179 -" and he recounts the conversation -

"...she will think you are weird and if she notices I wrote the song she may ask me about you but I don't expect her to be lastingly curious, let alone suspicious. Also I did not expect her to hit on you but I'm not sure a summoner's ever let her talk before so I didn't have great data on that."

"That is what she was doing? I was not sure if I was missing something important about pants - pants are confusing -"

"Nah that was pretty unambiguous. Not seriously, she would have been surprised if you'd run with it, but that is the structure of the thing she was doing."

"...okay."

"He's hopeless with girls."
