He has children. He can't really think of anything to say.

Hug?

Permalink

Hug.

She nods. ("You're welcome" would be tonally inappropriate.)

The ring thinks that if she had mind control powers she could make him not be sad and that'd be good because he's sad and it sucks. And the mind control powers could also make the one who wants to be dead not want that.

Permalink

Can the ring read? She has all these handily written up arguments about how that's not the point. They're written for inappropriate festival-throwing but they apply.

Permalink

The ring can't read and now feels kinda embarrassed about that. It's not even sure it can learn. It's a ring.

Permalink

Well, it can see, right? That's the only prerequisite.

Permalink

It can sense. None of its senses are really very much like seeing. It used to be able to read minds which let it do osanwë. Maybe Varda'll let it do that again.

Permalink

Probably not. Anyway, if it can sense where ink or carving or whatever is that works too.

Permalink

Oh okay then.

She can teach it the tengwar. Her husband invented them. One reason not to want to mind control people is that it would make it harder for them to do delightful things like tengwar-inventing.

Permalink

You can mind control people in a way that still leaves their creative faculties intact!

But if he thought everything she did was perfect he would not have improved on her alphabet, which wasn't really pretty enough.

Permalink

 

Yeah, that makes sense. 

Permalink

Good. So these are tengwar and they correspond to sounds...

Ambela's ring learns to read.

And once the interviews get kind of samey she wants to make a trip back to look at magic.

Permalink

Magic everywhere! Magic jewelry looks like this (after a while she can distinguish types, guess what they do, tell how complicated it is) and the air around a magic song looks like this and the ambient magic of the Valar is like this -

Permalink

So nifty. She would definitely have been distracted by magic if there had been a her in a more magic Arda, gosh. Magic!!!

She should visit Celebrimbor if he's up for that.

Permalink

He's happy to see her.

Permalink

So she goes there. (She brought a little shuttle. She has nothing against her horse but it was not fast.) Knock knock.

Permalink

He answers the door. "Ambela. Thank you. For fixing everything, I mean."
