The Bells do not sing but Elspeth does! She knows some of the music!

She's good at singing.

It's such a lovely wedding. Gem is so lovely.

And Joy is so much better than her evil alt!

(...Elspeth is a slightly awkward wedding guest!)

"What's she like? Or should I instead distract you so we don't think about it in front of the Maedhros, I should probably do that..."

Elspeth doesn't think thinking about Joy's evil alt will cause her to think especially much about Maedhros's evil alt but she can be distracted and answer this question later if that is preferable.

"I don't think he was even supposed to know about evil alts, so."

Well, she was invited to this wedding anyway but she can do the thought shieldy thing if necessary. Or just think about the pretty decorations, which are very pretty.

She is very invited to the wedding, that wasn't her point at all! But it's probably not a great time to talk about evil Lúthien, that shall have to wait. The decorations are pretty, aren't they.

(Gem's prettier. Gem is her wife.)

Joy is super biased but that is okay.

So biased!!! By Bella saving two worlds! What a biasing occurence!

Maedhros is asking Fingon about the evil Arda. Fingon is not answering and Maedhros is making correct inferences anyway.

Kib is concerned about that does Island think anything in particular should be done about this concerning thing?

Perhaps solutions to the 'hearing about evil Arda upsets Maitimos who've been through Angband' problem should be developed that aren't 'rely on peoples' abilities to keep secrets from Maitimos.'

Brilliant. So over the course of the next five minutes what are the implications of this strategy.

I tell my alt to drop it and not ruin the wedding party, he does that?

Okay. And after that?

After that we tell him that we just need to find a run of Ardas without Bells and the mes will be able to outvote the yous on what to do with him.

...his life is not actually a democracy...

Some people don't deserve to exist. The Enemy was one of them. So is he.

Sigh.

He tells his alt to drop it. His alt drops it.

Thanks.

Did Findekáno tell you how I lost it with him the night we - night we met Gem and Joy -

No?

He pops out of the meeting and goes home and cries. 

And after about an hour he knows his husband to be home, downstairs, and he is having something in between flashbacks and nightmares and he teleports something in front of the door and curls up in his bed and wishes the stupid emotional bond would - shut - down -

Findekáno doesn't come through the door, teleports in. Maitimo looks up at him and then teleports the eidetic memory off and into his own hands. He looks at it consideringly. 

...I was going to offer to leave, but...
