"Oh good! And the earwires'll let us talk to our alts no problem."

"Yeah! And we can invent more stuff and be farther from the Valar."

"Far as need be."

"I just want to teach everyone magic and not be scared of what they'll do."

Nod. Hug.

"I'm picking up a couple orcish languages. They're cool."

"Are the orcs nice?"

"Yeah! Ugly, but perfectly nice. They have lots of kids."

"How many is lots?"

"Just...kids, running around everywhere. Two grownup orcs and then an almost grown orc kid and then orcs at every age between that and a tiny orc baby."

"Huh. I guess they like kids. ...They have the thing where they don't have accidental kids, right?"

"- I assume so..."

"Iiiiif they don't I can reinvent the ring of protection."

She makes a to-do list item about asking orcs personal questions.

"They all use currency? Do they use the chips for it?"

"Dunno."

"Did you see Dwarves, Fëanáro?"

"No but I wasn't especially looking."

"Well, I bet they trade with orcs. And Elves."

"It does seem like the kind of thing they'd do."

"Exactly."

"How's the teleport?"

"I think halfway done."
