" - not that I know of."

She starts laughing, not unmanically.

 - well that's probably not a bad thing?

(These guards are actually real concerned.)

She calms down eventually. "Okay, before I get ahead of myself is there, like, a science book you could walk me through -?"

"You mean, like, philosophy of the natural world?"

     " - your grace -"

"Go away."

"- is something wrong? Uh, yes, I guess I mean that, anything recording experimental data."

"Oh, they're just professionally paranoid and you said you got kicked out of your last plane because the gods were scared of you and whatever the thing is apparently you can do it here too. They're like that. One of my sons snuck a pet scorpion in here once and it got murdered by four people with enough levels between them to handle a dragon."

"Oh. The gods just thought I invented things too fast and was a destabilizing influence on Fëanáro."

"The name you called me."

"Yes, the kid you psychically resemble."

"Inventing things is ...good...and they could ban you from the kid..."

"He ran away to another continent and stuff like that, he got impatient with the gods' continent."

" - by gods you mean, like, extremely expansive powerset, nearly indestructible, each individually able to take on an army..."

"That's them, yes, although I'm not sure armies have been invented in Arda. That's the plane."

" - is the kid also a god? A child god?"

"No, he's a Quendi. - they were concerned for, like, his safety and development, possibly because he's a prince and there are prophecies about him? I don't think they felt threatened, they could break all the magic we'd invented."

"You know what's not good for kids' development is gods."

"I think he would agree with you. Although the continent he ran away to was not exactly safe."

"So given that - people here are allowed to study things - is it in fact dangerous for him to come here?"

"Nope! But what I need to do is figure out a way to tell him to come here, in case he expects that the gods did in fact send me where I came from originally and tries to go there to look for me instead of coming up with a way to find me directly."

Nod.

"- unless being a science world and being a, hm, anti-hubris world are separate things? Do people who are too - ambitious or egotistical or anything - get in trouble here? Disproportionately, I mean, not 'do you get eaten if you charge a dragon and are not actually ready for that'."

" - I mean also if you swear oaths you can't live up to or go breaking laws?"

"I don't mean legal trouble, I mean do they have weirdly bad luck or attract negative divine attention."
