They glance at each other. " - might alert the Enemy you're here -"

      "- might have already noticed -"

"Of what they're capable of, though -"

      "Worth it, I think -"

"Should I let you think about it another five minutes, demonstrate on nearer objects..."

"I don't think there's much gained by doing it today, let's learn all your capabilties and maybe there are things that'll let us defend ourselves better if the Enemy is by that demonstration provoked to escalate."

"Sure. Uh, in addition to generic stuff I can do some healing, Karen knows how to make wands - we're probably going to have a serious potion ingredient supply problem - uh, if you feel really strongly about us not having children that's a particular issue because we avoid that with potions - you saw the broomsticks -"

"Without the potions you just ...have children? Spontaneously?"

Permalink

 

"There is an intermediate step."

Permalink

"Having some familiarity with what happens if the Enemy captures a person, I think you ought to skip the intermediate step."

Permalink

"...it's not that I don't see the logic, I just think this norm was not designed for humans and we really ought to figure out the potion ingredients thing and maybe have an extended religious debate with Rebecca."

Permalink

"What potions ingredients do you need -"

Permalink

"The gardens have most of it, if we just make really sure none of that dies the things we might not be able to get are animal ingredients, I think including unicorn hair, do you have unicorns -"

Permalink

"There might be a substitution, Karen might know, just... problems."

Permalink

Nod. "What do you have for combat?"

Permalink

"Lots of dueling stuff, some lethal, all short to medium range though - we have defensive stuff too, when we were concerned about arrows through the face they went out with shield charms up -"

Permalink

"How many people can you cover with those? Can you see through illusions? Is Occlumency teachable -"

Permalink

"Depends on the spell but a big dome one could cover a few dozen if they were close together - not by default - yes and it's not even really magical -"

Permalink

"The orcs should all learn it - they'd be able to keep private thoughts but on the other hand the Enemy wouldn't be able to talk to them -"

Permalink

"If they held it as tight as I do. Timothy heard you."

Permalink

"But they could be taught to."

Permalink

"Yes, over a long enough period of time."

Permalink

"Enemy sometimes sends families of orcs. With babies. We have to kill them all - once we tried not doing that, and it just gave him leverage -"

Permalink

"We saved a couple of the kids, but we can't just keep adopting arbitrarily many orc babies, especially not when he talks to them in their heads as soon as they're old enough."

Permalink

"- and he can't just do the same thing to Elf kids because you're not having any -"
