Some paper and some definitely not paper appears! Tiny Maitimo gets a white beverage in a mug!

They blink at it.

" - I guess you're not even ahead of us, yet - Cam, when do they get electricity - wow, my alt's life must have been fascinating - uh, those are computers, my father will tell you the things you need to know to make sense of computers from a not-yet-at-electricity standpoint -"

Looking... "Looks like 1310?"

"That's eighty-five Years from now - what's electricity -"

"I think I like Elves better when they're on even ground with us! Though wow this is so weird - wait, how do you have the chips and not know what electricity is -"

"Chips?"

"Non-cyborgness would explain the different mindreading, they might not have chips."

"- do you, like, die -"

"Very rarely."

"The Valar can reshape a body for a soul which has been dispossessed of one but they are not yet very good at it and not all prefer to return."

Cam checks - "No chips. So we've got cyborg Elves and soul Elves."

"And just like wizards and daeva weirdly fail to change much about history up through 1800 -"

"- dear, can you read these?"

" - I can - guess in most places..."

"...uh, maybe written Quenya is different, name me something written from your world and I'll have a look -"

He blinks at him. "I mean - my...notes?"

Cam conjures up the latest pageful. "...no this is totally legible without the bar translating it into my native language for me, and I only know cyborg-Quenya, is it a vocabulary problem -?"

"It's mostly a vocabulary problem -"

"And I'm just not very good with the letters yet, haven't had much time to practice since the baby was born..."

...blink. "Uh..."

"My fault," he says a little defensively of her, "I kept changing them around."

"...changing... them... around?"

" - the letters? I wanted to get it right but it made it hard for anyone else to learn - I wanted to have made up my mind before I tried teaching Nelyafinwë -"

"Are you saying you invented the alphabet."
