"We don't remarry, no. There was one exception in all of history and it went very badly and that is part of why we don't remarry."

"...well, humans do so more often."

"Huh. Okay. Well, if Thingol's all right with it then there'll even be a safe place to raise children and it'll all work out well, if not we'll have to come up with something else safe."

"Still don't have a way to move the house. Who is this person?"

"Runs the kingdom of Doriath. His wife is a Maia and Doriath is as safe against the Enemy as anything this side of the sea. We get attacked every few months."

"Maybe some of us, then."

"Might be worth it." And he has questions about their world and about house-elves and then they should check if Quendi can ride broomsticks.

"Awwww. Nice to meet you. How old are you?"

       "Nice to meet you. Uh, four hundred seventy of your years."

" - wow."

"I am told that your mom is not me."

"No, she's not. It's nice to meet you, though. The King says you're great and great for Minor."

"It's nice to meet you too! Should I expect to run into my opposite number -?"

"Uh, she didn't want to fight Melkor. Thought we'd lose. So - no -"

"...oh."

Awkward shuffle. "I really like whoever came up with the idea for voltaic piles, though, I think you could use that to turn a mill - or if we'd come up with it when it was still dark, light an area - maybe even for the forges -"

"Regrettably Alessandro Volta did not accompany us."

"I hear the departure wasn't exactly planned."

"Nope. Twins are still in school - hopefully they're all right -"
