"Did you avoid boarding the ships deliberately?"

"Nope, overslept. If we'd avoided boarding the ships deliberately we'd have also refrained from crossing the Ice and dying there."

Permalink

 

"I - 

- yes, that makes sense."

Permalink

"Also, I'm guessing your wife would not be best described as 'despairingly pining' over you."

Permalink

"I certainly hope not. 

 

She could have been both pining and murderously angry, though."

"I mean, we do both have kinda complicated feelings about the rest of you, but Tyelcormo wasn't conscious to have been involved in burning the boats."

Permalink

"If he had been we'd have known you'd been left behind."

Permalink

"And then?"

Permalink

"We would obviously have gone back for you."

"Okay," she sighs, "that's probably enough to be getting on with. Although I should really not see your dad any time soon; if I do I'm going to yell at him and unless he's learned to handle that kind of thing any better in the past however long nobody wants that. Where's Tyelcormo?" She gets out her phone. "...Idaia'll probably be less, mm, calm, with you, she's...well, she bought every Elvis album because he reminded her of Macalaure, let's put it like that."

"I have no idea what you'd want to say to my father but you will not run across him by chance, and I am sure he'd be happy to make you immortal again without any interacting with you if you don't think you can treat him civilly. Tyelcormo's working in Zion National Park. I don't think he has a phone."

"I have a very, very large number of miscellaneous feelings about your dad, and the fact that I'm expected to be civil about them is at least one." She calls her sister. "Hi, Idaia."

Permalink

"Imliss! What's up?"

Permalink

"I have no idea how, but they're not dead."

Permalink

"Or, I don't know who exactly survived, but it's at least Curufinwe, Tyelcormo and Feanaro."

Permalink

"What?" she says hoarsely.

Permalink

"They're alive. And Curufinwe assures me they would've come back for us if they'd known we'd missed the boats, which, kudos to us, if your husband hadn't had a major head wound we'd have averted a tragedy by fucking up."

Permalink

"And Curufinwe is my TA, which is how I found out any of this stuff."

Permalink

"Why is Curufinwe Atarinke messing around as a TA?"

Permalink

"Didn't ask. Not the important bit. The important bit's that Tyelcormo's working at Zion National Park."

Permalink

"Where--no, I can look it up--get a plane ticket or something--Love you bye." She hangs up.

Permalink

"Love you too," she says to the dead line, amused.
