I'm in the middle of something.

Dear.

He'll understand.

His companions seem a little spooked, though.

They'll probably understand too. We can start at Curufinwë's if he doesn't mind doing last-minute guest prep.

I'll manage.

So Mirelótë tells the visitors that the local Fëanáro ("You'll need nicknames as though you were forks - you too, Rúmils -") suggested going first to one of his kids' houses on the grounds that he thinks a small him will get along with the corresponding grandchild.

"We don't really need company especially. Just a safe place to figure out where our spells went wrong."

"Well, his house is also a safe place. I don't think Tyelperinquar will take it very personally if you'd rather work on your spells, although he probably will want to know what you're doing."

"If he does them in public the Valar find out and then -"

"...even our Valar didn't do anything to natives - did they -?"

"I don't know because I was confined to my house with no paper and constant supervision and people screaming at me!"

"They didn't."

Bella hugs Fëanáro again.

"Well, you've also been invited to the other house with grandkids, who are less likely to demand tutoring but more likely to get in your way. Your - not fork, your... alt? - is in the middle of something though."

"Somewhere quiet where we can work is good."

So she tells the local Fëanáro that they don't want to socialize and seem likely to just colonize a room and work on stuff, his house it is.

And they look out the window at the weird curvy horizon.

He bounces it for Bella. 

I was in an airship on Materia once, sphere planets look like that from high up.

It's a change. Do you think we should stay?

She has a point that it would be a pity not to figure all this out but I'd like another place ready to go in case. Though we keep landing in places that were not what we had in mind and should probably try to reparameterize.

Definitely. And maybe only do one jump a day, so we can handle problems when we arrive.

Yeah. This one at least no one is obviously trying to kill us and the Valar aren't aware of us yet. We can come back to it if we land places we don't want to be.

Yes. Maybe get a teleport and go to Endorë.
