And Rúmil has a very broad-purpose ice spell, so she can also now pick up ice skating if she pleases.

Permalink

Also wheeeeeeee~!

Permalink

Elves get really into competitive figure skating, actually. It becomes Tirion's major sport. The King and Queen perform in it.

Permalink

Bella's not going to be a competitive figure skater, but with sufficiently souped up boots she'll try a lot of the maneuvers when she's taking a couple hours to glide around.

Mahtan tells Fëanáro he's heard good things about his teaching of magic and would be happy to teach him metalworking. Fëanáro bounces all over Tirion.

Permalink

Bella applauds him.

Permalink

She also sees him first thing every morning dashing off to metalworking lessons.

Permalink

And how are those going?

Permalink

He's a prodigy. No one is very surprised.

Permalink

And no friction from having the wrong kind of curiosity or anything?

Permalink

Perhaps he's grown up a little, or perhaps Mahtan has expanded his teaching style, because they seem to get along fine.

Permalink

Great!

Permalink

After much debate a new code of therapeutic ethics is settled on despite the lack of any subtle artists who aren't Bella.

Permalink


Um, what is it?
Permalink

It mostly follows the ones she discussed from home, except with very very strong language against encouraging people into oaths and exceptions for orcs and others under mind-altering oaths already.

Permalink

That seems pretty reasonable except that it does mean anybody under a mind-altering oath will presumably avoid therapists.

Permalink

Right. This is awkward and seems really hard to fix.

Permalink

Well, if there were more subtle artists she'd suggest having two kinds of therapist so if someone wanted help but couldn't allow oath tampering they could get as much help as they could accept rather than having to try to conceal the existence of the oath. But it's just her.

Permalink

She could state what kind of subtle artist she intends to be?

Permalink

She's kind of had a limited and not completely anonymous patient pool, which means there's an information problem.

Permalink

What kind she prefers to be from now on, then?

Permalink


If someone picks up the skillset of therapy without the subtle arts part (due to a demand/supply mismatch) they would have an advantage compared to her in doing non-oath-tampering therapy, or rather a disadvantage in the opposite direction, so she will be the oath-tampering kind. If she ever meets any orcs those oaths are getting tampered with.
Permalink

This satisfies everyone. Mandos is working on the problem of orcs.

Permalink

That's... good of him.

Permalink

It is. It's quite a challenge.
