Yes.

That's good.

My version of you does not remember Utumno so I do not have much practice with dealing with that if that's why you're distressed.

How is that?

We're a different sort of Elf and the Utumno prisoners were generally kept disembodied and duplicated many times. Those versions have been paused and reembodiments were done of versions prior to capture.

That's interesting. I could have asked to forget everything.

There is only one of you and your Melkor could do less manipulation of subjective time.

And the Valar are not very good at their jobs.

Mine are better at it. They're teaching yours now.

Then I suppose perhaps I'd feel more confident in asking them for healing.

Okay.

I'm sorry to have alarmed you.

It's not a problem. I'm glad everything is working out.

"Thank you, Mingling."

Everything okay?

He remembers Utumno and I think he's nervous about... implausible things.

Ah.

Not sure how to address that.

It seems designed to be extraordinarily difficult to address. 

Yes. Obviously can't ask Kib.

I think the me is farther along in the healing process than Kib.

One hopes.

The not snarking isn't evidence of that; that's just differences in temperament. But he came to the house looking when he got the mysterious flying note.

That's true.

And I've read through - what he does with his life. He's okay eventually. Less happy than me, but then, he doesn't have you.

I'd suggest getting one for him but I'm not sure any of them would suit.
