"Minor is busy and doesn't want to volunteer. Do you trust Amriac with it?"

"I mean, yes, but we'd have to peel her off Michael."

"True. We could maybe talk her into it."

"Someone other than me should write her a letter, I've been too busy bristling on your behalf to have any rapport."

"For similar reasons I'm a poor choice..."

"Bristling on his behalf?"

"It's not that I don't have one it's that I am insufficiently incentivized to employ it."

"Okay. I can have my Macalaurë write and ask to meet Michael."

"He's kinda insecure about Elf alts but go for it."

"Are we biologically better singers or is it just that he's young -"

"I'm not sure. His Singularity alt thought it might be biological."

"He'll live."

"I don't think he'd mind that badly."

"Wonder if the nice Valar are done being contagious since we've been out here."

"We can head in and check."

In they go!
