She giggles. "I think Queen seems pretty fun by that definition."

"And you? Going to be a princess?"

Permalink

"Why not?"

Permalink

"I don't know. It's entirely up to you, that's rather the point."

Permalink

"Idiomatic way of saying yes, that sounds like fun," she clarifies. "Maybe I should design a crown too. Something simpler than hers. A circlet."

Permalink

"Oooh. I bet Celebrimbor could do it in the style of your armor, too, and have a stylized circlet built into your helm for when you're fully armored..."

Permalink

"That sounds like a great idea. I was thinking gold or platinum with a blue opal centerpiece, what do you think?"

Permalink

"Does your ability to create anything you want extend to 'looks like gold, holds like steel' or no?"

Permalink

"I have to make things that obey the laws of physics when I'm done with them. If there exists a substance that does that, I could do it, or I could do steel with a thin coating of gold, or I could just do steel, that sounds potentially aesthetic."

"You can make our kind of magic items, though. Huh. If there is something that does that, we don't know of it, but there could be."

Permalink

"At that point, it's your magic doing the heavy lifting. My magic doesn't really stick around without someone actively maintaining it."

Permalink

"Huh, makes sense. Too bad  our really complex magic takes so much power for you."

Permalink

"It would take less power if I understood it better and my magic was doing less of the information processing," she admits.

Permalink

"Oh, sorry, I should have suggested that for the list of things Celebrimbor could do for you."

Permalink

"I did think of it, but I don't think I really want to spend a lot of time learning that right now, and I suspect that my sister will want to learn how to do it and having her osanwe me the relevant information might well do as good as knowing it for the relevant purposes."

Permalink

"Well, she's always welcome to visit."

Permalink

"Maybe she can hang out here while I'm building her city."

Permalink

"Seems to defeat the purpose of letting you hang out with your sister, but yeah, sure."

Permalink

"If she's learning engineering magic from your brother and/or nephew I'm not going to get much more out of her from being in the same room than from being that far away."

Permalink

"Right, fair enough. How long will it take you to build her a city?"

Permalink

"I'm honestly not sure. I've never built a city before."

Permalink

"Then it's a good power-practice project! Can you build a wall with all the enchantments already in place? They're really simple, the ones we use for walls -"

Permalink

"Probably! What enchantments do you put on walls?"

Permalink

"Makes it harder for the Enemy to take them down." He sends a mental image.

Permalink

"Does the number of sigils improve the effectiveness? The size? I could carve hundreds of those per square foot, if I was willing to go slower."
