"As long as they make it their business to shower and not my business to not touch things that's fine by me."

"I was clear about that. They initially wanted to ask that you not-touch enough things they can have food but I think the house-elves have that covered now and you can touch whatever you please."

"Good. I've gotten all used to it."

Her fiancé kisses her. 

Magic Elves are so delighted about the music hall and relevant ones are very pleased to attend a wedding.

And Peka and her living flower cape held at the end off the ground for her by her bouncing child can get married!!!

To her husband who adores her so so so much!!

"The Amentans asked how you two met!!"

The Amentans gather around to listen. 

"Oh, I was walking through the city - in Tapa, after we'd been there a few weeks - and I heard her muttering rude things about Elves from a truck across the way -" Kiss. "And I think she thought I couldn't hear her, because Elves have much better than Amentan hearing, but then I stopped singing and turned to stare and then she had more, louder rude things to say about Elves -" Kiss.

"Wow, what did you say -"

"Uh, I was in the army for the money for Katin's child credit -" Space Peka looks at Grownup Katin - "Wow that's surreal mine's been slowed down by Valinor lookit you all grown up - uh, and the Elves were trying to end the war and I was worried about money, but I don't remember exactly what I said -"

"- oh all that and they have super hearing! Of course they do! Yeah I'm talking to you, Elf, fuck you and the ships you rode in on, flailing around like it doesn't matter where you step -"

"Wow," says Grey Peka.

"I know, right, I knew better, but it worked out! He paid off the credit and took us home."

"I didn't realize it was - a big deal - in your country," he says to Aitim, "presumably people do not get beaten to death in the street for being rude to visitors -"

" - I mean," Aitim says, "I wouldn't, personally, call the police in if a red said that to me, but -"

"But -"

"I would in fact kind of assume they were suicidal." He shakes his head. 

"Ah huh."

"And if there were alien visitors with FTL who some red offended -"

"The thing that offends me is the way you all treat reds!"

"Well, we don't even have any of them anymore."

"Uh why not," says Pink Peka.

"Oh it's nothing bad," says Grey Peka, "in Anitam anyway, there's a decontamination thing, they all got to pick new castes."

"Even blue," says Shasali, "we're the only country that allowed that even when others picked up the decontamination protocol."

"My mother came up with it. Cleaned and integrated them all, it went pretty smoothly - we're honestly pretty progressive for our society," he says to Macalaurë -

"Am I supposed to be impressed. 'I wouldn't personally have someone beaten to death for being rude to me' - but you know, you would hardly judge someone for being less progressive on that front -"

"I got beat up," says Tiko, "after I switched castes, though, and I wasn't yelling at anyone - anyway the judge went easy on her and Aitim leaned on her about it."
