Caranthir is going to the nearest space with a view of the sky which will be unobstructed if he throws himself on the ground, throwing himself on the ground, and singing. He doesn't especially care if he's followed.

Then he will be followed but they will not bother him.

He does that for ten minutes. 

He gets up.

He goes back. "I'm sorry," he says. "That's straightened out now. Thank you for mentioning it."

"- what's straightened out?"

"My burning desire to just take every person on this planet prisoner and take you back to Valinor and govern you properly."

...blink.

"It would be kind of ethically dubious and it's not remotely respectful of your autonomy and you might be psychologically different from us in ways that would make it inferior to getting resources here and working from what you've got and building better institutions off the ones already present. It's not a good idea. But my fucking god, approximately every half-hour of conversation produces new completely horrifying things, that suggests there are lots of them, and it's very hard to be incrementalist when everything is on fire."

"- I see."

"It seems like it might be useful at this point to outline where we're coming from."

"Maybe. I'm - are you sure you don't want to be introduced to some people who will definitely be around next week."

"If, after having been made aware that we have the means to handle this planet exactly how we'd like and that we don't like the, ah, 'death penalty', there is still significant ambiguity about whether you'll be around next week then I do not anticipate a productive future of cooperation with your government."

"I might also be assassinated," Savo points out.

"Your species has really terrible sensory acuity, as long as I'm here it's not very likely."

"Uh, if you say so. You're going to just sort of... follow me?"

"Given that every hour of conversation turns up a new atrocity and that we have at least some capacity to discourage atrocities even before Yavanna gets here, it was obviously a substantial failure on our part not to have a lot more conversations a lot sooner. If you're concerned for your safety maybe you can sleep in our ship or something, at least for a couple days." Sigh. "I should tell my family that the other country is probably doing the murder thing too and should be told to stop it." He bites his lip, explains the whole thing to Maitimo over osanwë -

What the fuck. Thank you. I'll bring it up right away. 

"And everywhere else, I guess, but we'll be spread pretty thin - Maitimo'll handle it. Eru."

"Uh, I can't risk taking off in anything the Tapai may shoot down. I'd show up if summoned to the Rainbow Tower but being killed by enemy action is another thing entirely."

"The ship doesn't need to go anywhere. And unless they've been very much underselling their weapons so far they can't shoot us down, either, they're not made for warfare but they are made for space debris hit at nearly lightspeed and that's a fair bit scarier."

"Uh, okay."

"I know it's stupid and inefficient to solve problems just because they're in front of you without doing any math but -"

"That's not really the source of my confusion but I'm not sure how to explain it."

"I can promise not to take offense?"

"What do you, um, normally do with people who attempt a social program and instead start a pseudo-famine and a war."

"There's more oversight, it wouldn't get that far, but probably there'd be a hearing dissecting what had gone wrong to let that happen and then they'd be asked to resign."
