Then they can head off the grounds again and fly for Ireland!

He doesn't want to ask Cam for the list, so he lets the kid borrow his own computer. The kid can't read. He tries reading it to him and tracing letters as he goes but that doesn't work because they don't share a language. Maitimo is snuggled on his lap frowning at the computer when Cam comes in.

Cam comes down the stairs, observes tiny Maitimo, and turns right around.

...is he mad at me? he says to Timothy, wriggling farther into Timothy's robes.

"No."

How do I fix it?

"Uh. How about you write him a note, are you good enough at writing to do that yet?"

He shakes his head gravely.

"So maybe find someone who speaks Quenya and get them to teach you how to write well enough you can write him a note, and then you can say - whatever you'd want to say, if I coach you it won't help."

"Maybe when I'm done with all the names."

Permalink

"That's going to be a really long time."

Permalink

"Everyone keeps saying that."

"Amriac told this kid, who is me as an Elf again but tiny, that Cam killed fifty-five million people. He - wanted to get a feel for what a million was, so she made him a million grains of rice, and then he started naming them all so he'd know, and this freaked out Amriac pretty badly so she sent a message to Cam about it and now he's miserable and now Michael's taken Amriac out to go play with dragons and the kid, being a me, wants to know everyone who died and my other Elf alt, also being a me, does know and has a file of them."

"...well that's a mess."

Permalink

"Yep."

"Do dictation quills care what language you're speaking?"

Permalink

"I'm not sure - or how that'd interact with Milliways - guess we could try it -" He pulls one out. "Do you want to say something to Cam?"

Permalink

"...please don't be sad, I promise I will fix the bad thing and make everyone happy?"

The quill appears to have captured this in English, at least when Timothy's looking at it. "You," he says to Miranda, "are a genius."

Permalink

"I know."

Permalink

"We're debating whether to bring the new set of Valar through to fix the first Arda."

Permalink

"Does that invalidate the oath at all, if they stop being dead?"

Permalink

"Nope, it was phrased to cover that."
