Indeed. We could pretend that we think the leak is just "Maitimo has a gift for reading people", it is not obvious to me how we'd be caught out on that...

Permalink

Case in point, I'm not a hundred percent sure it isn't just that.

Permalink

That seems the wisest approach, then. We can even describe him for them so we can't be accused of withholding information that would make them not want to trust us.

Permalink

The reason I bring it up is, they're probably growing things if anyone is. Somehow. Anyone short of the Enemy.

We might be able to do the same thing I did at the Feanorians' forges.

Permalink

That would be tremendously valuable. Yes, let's try to find them.

Permalink

Maitimo suggested giving them magic. Probably because the more we spread it around the more likely some of it reaches him. I'd rather not take his advice, but if they have usable plant spirits and it comes to an explanation of what we're doing in exchange for permission to do it....

Permalink

Once we have a better sense of their character and priorities we'll be able to make a more informed assessment.

Permalink

Yeah. Once we know more than...more than nothing, considering the source.

Permalink

He would probably not tell any lies easily demonstrated to be so, Nolofinwe says drily.

Permalink

Oh, he didn't. If the king turns out to be otherwise than xenophobic but well intentioned, well, the secondhand anecdotes must have been wrong.

Permalink

Nolofinwe shakes his head. It's not a take on the king's character that serves any end of Maitimo's I can think of, but I agree that we should form our own assessment.

Permalink

It's the "conservative" part that helps Maitimo if true. But we probably don't need to worry about that kingdom at all until there isn't a visit to the Feanorians on the calendar. Just so they don't immediately find out too much everything.

Permalink

I agree. How's the Ice, looking passable?

Permalink

Very. Well, relatively speaking.

Walking across it still sounds hard, but more because walking a few hundred miles of anything is hard and not because this particular hundred miles is trying to kill anyone.

Permalink

We can definitely manage some walking.

Permalink

And we'll have Macalaure's song, too. I'm liking our chances a lot better now.

Permalink

As am I. Thank you. Have a restful few days until we leave.

Permalink

I'll certainly try.

 

And that sounded like a dismissal, so she takes it as one.

Permalink

The camp is still busy. Findekáno departs with her, though he's still speaking with his father. Anything else that ought to be done before we go?

Permalink

I don't think so, not on this end. Picking up the song from the Feanorians and trying for ghosts?

Permalink

I should not go. But yeah.

Permalink

Agreed. I can do it myself, or Irissë can come or we can ask if Lalwen wants to awaken early, we're for once not low on practitioners. 

Permalink

Think it was a mistake to go this time? I am not sure if he got the timeline for departure off me.

Permalink

I'm not sure how he could have gotten it from either of us. Not a mistake, just that you clearly at least want to want to stay away from there. And this time that's easier.

Permalink

Thanks.
