"Uh. You know how - planets go suns -"

"Planets go around suns - uh, once a year, but years might be different for different planets -"

"Then I don't know how say. Years for Ennor planet, this many." She counts up to twenty-five on her fingers.

"Planets turn around, once a day, how many days?"

...she starts counting on her fingers, but with an expression communicating that this will be quite a chore.

"Uh," he holds up all his fingers, "ten. Ten tens a hundred, ten hundreds a thousand..."

"We go by ten-one-one... three tens times a ten-one-one days in a year."

"Thirty times... twelve... uh..." He's retrieved his pocket everything and does the calculation on it. "Three hundred sixty. About a season."

She is curiously observing the pocket everything. "Yes. Twenty-five of those to go to Valinor. As long to see Valinor, they go as fast as seeing."

"...then how do you get there?"

"Valinor has big ships that fast. We do not know how to ships that sail the stars but Ulmo knows, other Valar know, Elves in Valinor maybe know by now also because Valinor has many things, they learn fast."

"But how do you - spend twenty five seasons on a ship - that's more than six Amentan years - how long do Elves live?"

"The ships are so so big, it's okay."

"I guess that would help."

"But still not very many people ever go."

"How did people know that it would be safe to go live on the other planet if it's so far away?"

"The Valar said it would be safe and people thought 'maybe they are not good' but three people said they would go and try and they went and saw and when they came back they said 'yes it is good' and then many others went. Some were still too scared, or did not like the Valar, and stayed here."

"Oh."

"It sounds nice but here is nice too and I do not want to spend a long time on a ship. And they speak a different language. The translation is pretty good but still."

"You're very fast at Anitami."

"Some people spent the week you were gone looking at the things you said and adding examples for a - word list. I am adding more when we talk."

"A dictionary."

"Yes. When you say a thing I add it to the dictionary."

"How? I don't see you doing it."

"- the way I gave money for the kabobs."
