Good. They can read and scribe bits entitled things like "the concept of mixed feelings" and "leadup to the oath reform act" and "suspension of certain mental alterations pending review [review later found the suspension should be sustained]" and "time part III".

Third one provokes some murmurs.

Well, they can read the argument that swayed the Valar.

Permalink

" - but they still can't get married," someone says, frowning at the argument.

Permalink

"- they can in my world - but that's chip blessings so here may differ."

Permalink

" - here it's automatic. So it makes sense people'd want to get it changed, if they ever want to marry..."

Permalink

"I can add a footnote." She adds a footnote about the world difference.

Permalink

This reassures everyone. "Can you still see who's married?" someone asks her. "We can see you are -"

Permalink

"That's optional but most people install it."

Permalink

"Huh. And the marriage senses..."

Permalink

"Pick and mix."

Permalink

"That's more practical but not as romantic."

Permalink

"If you say so. I'm very practically inclined so I don't miss it."

Permalink

" - if you can't get married by accident I think some people might be tempted to - misbehave, too..." someone says uncertainly. "Like humans do."

Permalink

 

 

 

"Yes."

Permalink

Horrified stares. 

" - it wouldn't be as bad as humans because they wouldn't have children," someone else offers after a minute.

Permalink

"- it is definitely fucked up that humans can have children by accident."

Permalink

Nod.

Ambela aims a displeased look ceilingward.

"It's awful. They have children they can't afford to feed - they're still having children now in cities that'll fall to Sauron before the year is out -"

Permalink

Unhappy silence.

Permalink

Yep. She writes on.

Permalink

Humans are vaguely curious about her, introduce themselves. Their kingdom is called Gondor, and it's south of here. The one that might fall to Sauron in months.

Permalink

She is pleased to meet them and willing to answer their curiosities.
