"Uh, the Noldor are a monarchy, we have a king and his children and grandchildren are princes and princesses and they are in charge of things. Prince Canafinwë is in charge of contact with the world you're from and Almarë works for him."

"Oh," says the twin.

Permalink

"The girl he's seeing is a red just like you! It was on the news."

Permalink

"...seriously?" asks Kenyo.

Permalink

"Yeah. Uh, from Tapa? Not wherever you're from - her name's Peka and she's really pretty though it's really not very professional of him to be leaving shifts early -"

Permalink

"A prince is dating a red girl? - and is letting people find out -?"

Permalink

"Oh he kissed her downtown in the middle of the street, he could hardly have been more public about it if he'd gone on the evening news. - it's not - I'm sure it's not - he wouldn't take advantage of someone -"

Permalink

"No when people do that they don't tell anyone. You should absolutely make sure all the red refugees know about that."

Permalink

Blink. "Uh, okay. It'll make you worry less -"

Permalink

Nod.

Permalink

"I'll let people know." She frowns as though concentrating. "Okay. Do you, uh, want to see pictures -"

Permalink

"There are pictures?"

Permalink

"When you are Prince Canafinwë and you teleport into a major avenue downtown and lift a girl above your head and kiss her and sing her songs people will take pictures."

Permalink

"Pictures pictures!" exclaim the twins.

Permalink

She searches for them. There are lots. She sends them to the big screen in the living room. 

Permalink

"Wowwwwww," say twins.

"Definitely make sure people know that," says Kenyo.

Permalink

"Yes, I told all of the other people doing refugee transition stuff. I suppose I can write him and ask him to come by and bring her, if you think it's a good idea."

Permalink

"We don't speak any Tapap. The pictures are good."

Permalink

"They'll give you all Allspeak and I bet he already got it for her - my translation thing. So you can speak any language. Makes the transition way easier." She shakes her head a bit despairingly at the screen. "He's so dramatic."

Permalink

"This is the best thing that has ever happened."

Permalink

"I'm - really glad."

Permalink

They're kind of all staring at the pictures. One of the twins has a similar shade of pink hair and is tugging on her pigtail.

Permalink

Awwwww. She orders delivery. 

 

Someone rings the doorbell twenty minutes later.

Permalink

Kenyo opens up.

"Hi! I've got two everything platters, one mild, one medium?"
