They will try building a house anyway; those sound like interesting things that could potentially go wrong! And if other people take up residence it would presumably be because they needed a place to live, so of course the Elves wouldn't begrudge them one! 

They thank the bar and head outside to do that.

Someone stops them quietly to let them know they should get Maitimo to Lórien before he grows up, just so they know.

He repeats this advice significantly less quietly - "is that so?"

"I promised I'd go, please don't worry!"

"That's the Vala who does - dreams? Is he having nightmares, there's potions."

"He also helps people with disordered attraction - wanting men, or small children, or animals, that kind of thing - and, well -"

...Tiny Maitimo is very tiny and probably was not personally kissing any boys. Ugh. Cam does not actually facepalm, but he looks like he wants to.

"People aren't supposed to want men? Nobody told me that, when I grow up and get married am I supposed to lie back and think of England?"

They blink confusedly. "No, no, you definitely shouldn't get married until you meet a man who you love!"

"Maybe I misunderstood what you said, my mum is very talkative but I am only thirteen, but it did sound like you said there was something the matter with wanting men? Is the problem if one wants several of them?"

"...I suppose that could be a problem but I do not think it comes up very much? It also might be harder for Lórien to help with, I'm not really quite sure, you could ask him - the one who isn't dead, I mean. There is something the matter with men wanting men, and Lórien can help them fix it."

"Fix what?"

"If someone isn't going to be able to fall in love and get married and live a happy life, and it is because of unwanted attraction, Lórien can change that so then they can fall in love and get married."

"It would be very inconvenient if someone were only interested in houseplants but I don't think that is the same thing, since men are still people and potentially lovable and stuff. And in Revelation they can get married too."

"- perhaps it is a species difference. Among Elves they definitely couldn't."

"Oh, they can't in our world either, because it is 1802, but in Revelation the laws are different."

"...I don't really see how that would help."

"Well, I don't see how Lórien would help, and I asked first."

"If there were a man who wanted to marry a man, or a child, or a houseplant, or an animal, he could go to Lórien and then Lórien could change it so that he wanted to marry women, which is preferable, ethics aside, since it would mean his desires are actually achievable. Given that Eru asks us to pursue love within marriage, it would be very unreasonable of him not to extend an avenue of assistance to people who aren't able to do that."

"I'm missing something. ...I think you are probably also missing something but I definitely am."

"It might be something you will understand when you are older. Or it might be that you weren't designed by Eru and so it doesn't apply to you? I'm not really sure."

"I don't think this is a very productive conversation. If Nelyafinwë wants to get married it is good he'll have the option, but it is many many years before it is appropriate even to think about it."

Bounce bounce.

"Let's go get started on the house, shall we."
