He snuggles up beside her and goes to sleep.

Snuggle. Sleep. Feeding Jeremy four times in the night.

Dwarves will consider how much money they'd want for housing it-looks-like-around-twenty-thousand humans. It'll probably be a reasonable number! Getting humans caught up with modern technology will make them better trade partners. Doriath is thanked for offering their hospitality but the baby orc absolutely refuses to swear any oaths, quite sensibly of her really. The Noldor plan a dozen distractions and evacuations and responses for the aftermath of stealing back the Silmarils. 

"It might just not work," Timothy warns his alt.

"Yes, I realize that. I have seen what being underprepared costs; indulge me."

The Felix is almost done. It has not exploded, melted its cauldron, turned brown, displayed sluggish droplet leaping, or curdled.

Miranda lays out Cricket's unabridged phrasebook and gets herself a bunch of numbered tokens - "we keep talking about it like it's a person, if it might not be able to help me cast it might as well have a chance to say something -"

"Mrrrg."
