She hugs him. This is less of a challenge than it was only a few minutes ago. ...Then she steps back. "Uh. If being around the Silmarils isn't safe, and you're glowing similarly..."

"Oh, good question, we should get a Geiger counter or something and see if I'm radioactive. Hug me later."

Permalink

"Yeah, good idea." She takes several steps back. "Wow."

Permalink

"It's right there but it's still sort of hard to believe we did it."

Permalink

"Yeah. Congratulations on finding it."

Permalink

"I'm so glad I didn't lose my magic in the course of reincarnating."

Permalink

"Would you have even known the rest was real?"

Permalink

"...I don't know. Maybe."

He shakes his head. "Anyway. Maybe you're not doomed. That'd be something."

Permalink

"Yeah. I'd almost forgotten what optimism felt like."

Permalink

Nod. Sigh.

Well. They'll get through this or they won't. Meanwhile Imliss can go hug someone less liable to be radioactive.

Permalink

She can do that!

There are lots of hugs.

"So do you have any idea why the Silmarils would make mortals age faster? Isn't that the exact opposite of the kind of thing they're supposed to do?"

Permalink

"My best guess is that they objected to Beren and Lúthien's custody and so - misbehaved. Or they tried to use them and failed and did something disastrous."

Permalink

"So they might or might not be dangerous to us and if they are you might or might not be able to make it stop."

Permalink

"Yep. Not being able to touch them, assuming that is still in place, might interfere with making them stop, too."

Imliss calls Varda some rude names under her breath in Bremik.

Permalink

Imliss gets hugs.

Permalink

Yay hugs. It's really marvelous having everyone in one place like this, even if it's only for a little while.

Permalink

They have the Silmaril back. Everything is okay.

Permalink

At least for now. Tomorrow can take care of itself.

And after a while they take the Silmaril Canada-ward. (Everyone checks. It still burns them.)
