Um, I don't know what you tend to have - red, long-skirted, warm?

That's definitely doable. He's singing the water into little rainbow eddies, now.

Ooooh.

Do you want to learn? It's a pretty straightforward song!

Sure!

He sings the melody a couple times over, slowly and clearly. The rainbow eddies form more slowly.

She hums along a bit. I'm not sure I can pronounce all those sounds.

There are rules for substitutions - you might get different colors but the whole would still work - but I don't know them, I'd have to track down Prince Canafinwë. He could probably come up with a version in your language, just like that. He sighs regretfully and smiles at her. You carry a tune well!

Aw, thank you!

Did you say you draw?

Yeah, lots of mages pick that up outside of magic.

I like drawing. Apparently it'll be a couple hours before they're out of work, want to go up a tower and do sketches?

Sure, why not. She wrings out her hair.

He dries himself off. They get dressed. Mind if I sing something else? It's supposed to make you light as a feather, though actually that's really inconvenient so most people don't do it at full strength.

Oh, I've had enough of being too light, it's nice to be on a planet with a good planet-amount of gravity again.

It had gotten that bad? Yikes. How long do you think you have -

Math people think if everyone goes cold turkey on using points on our planet we have months, even a couple years, before we can't breathe there any more. Of course that whole time cities will be disappearing and so on, it's not a reason to stick around that long.

Yeah. I talked to the settlement person, he says they'd recommend refugees land on the south continent, which is empty and not having a war, but you might have to figure out how to feed yourselves. 

There's shortages of random specific things - I haven't had garlic in months - but we're not starving, we could bring seeds.

Then it's all yours. Not guaranteed safe in the war but way safer. We really can't have magic here, though, no one has any idea how thick the world is and it might be really thin.

Cor's letter said. I must have really bad timing if he's going to be hours. Has she got the red dress she ordered?

She has!! Super pretty. 

He's been working on the evil god spell in a hurry, I think he's mostly taking breaks for meals.

He's really dedicated.

He seems nice. The Prince Curufinwë likes him. More than he likes anyone who'll teach him new languages, I mean.

Oh good, I sometimes wonder why he doesn't have more friends - I guess I don't really wonder, I know, so introverted, so picky, he likes me though -
