My plan assumed they might shut down interdimensional transit as soon as someone left deliberately, that's why it was taking so long - had to have somewhere to get you to -

It makes sense, I understand.

Oh, I wasn't worried you'd be upset, if you were alive at all, but it is frustrating to know someone's in a bad situation while it continues being unwise to go and get them. And of course then Fëanáro did it.

Yep. Thank goodness for that interplanar bar.

That's just bizarre. I still can't quite wrap my mind around it.

It doesn't seem that weird by Materian standards in basic concept, just in allowing somebody to leave the anti-science planar neighborhood.

Well, maybe it was designed in some place like Materia but not anti-science, those worlds must be fantastically sophisticated.

Oh wow, yeah, just lousy with all kinds of ways to get things done.

Don't know if we can safely or wisely target for that, but yes.

I'm not sure it'd necessarily be nice - Materia's not-nice in other ways besides the science thing - but it would be, I want to say rich.

So perhaps rather than visiting we steal a library somehow.

Ooh, interplanar book piracy.

I think it should be workable! I've been thinking about it!

Yeah, I bet it can be done, summoning's a thing!

If you can fetch Fëanáro back from the Outer Lands you can fetch a library across dimensions!

...not very law-abiding, probably...

Not very. We should also find a way to leave them something nice in exchange for their library. And have Fëanáro learn to write their language and send them an apology.

That's a solution. If Tirion's budding library vanished but we got an extra-dimensional apology note promising to use it only for good I think we'd live.

I wasn't imagining we'd steal an entire world's only library, either.

Yes, most advanced worlds probably have really easy book-copying.

Yep. How's the library in Tirion doing these days, anyway?

Everyone's writing a book, it's fashionable.

...That's really cute.

I know! It's so Noldorin and it delights me. 

I don't think I remembered to ask how long it took to invent writing without outside inspiration.

Oh, good idea, we can ask them when we get back in.
