Sure.

"'mm sorry."

Permalink

"You have nothing to be sorry for," Mirelótë says.

Permalink

"Do too. There are people who are sad and I haven't fixed it yet, I don't want to not be sorry about that."

Permalink

"You should probably get out of the habit. There's a lot of people, and wouldn't it be tedious to be sorry all of the time?"

Permalink

"Well, it's ultimately up to you, but do consider it."

Permalink

"What did your me end up doing?"

Permalink

"You should probably ask him that."

Permalink

Hey, what did you do about the thing where if anyone anywhere is sad it's our personal responsibility?

Permalink

Some people don't want you to be responsible for them, it feels too - intimate. If someone takes their problem to you, then it's yours, and you want to be everywhere and be known for being good at problems so people will take them to you. But until they do, it's not yours and it's not okay to take things that aren't yours.

He droops.

"Okay. Sorry, Kib."

Permalink

Sigh.

Permalink

He scoots off the couch. He flops on the floor with his car.

Permalink

"Do you want to open the door for me so I can ask Lórien a question?"

Permalink

"Okay!"

 

Door.

Permalink

And she leans in and asks her Lórien if he or failing that his alt can restore memories removed by a flat Melkor, because a new Bell has come in out of Angband.

Permalink

Oh no, I'm so sorry. I don't know how to do that, don't know if I could learn, I will ask the local one -

 

And a minute later - yes, he can, but your alt would need to come here, does that work?

Permalink

How far in? He's not very participatory at the moment.

Permalink

To Lórien, ideally, he has most of his power - set up there? We could come and get him if that helps...

Permalink

Cam could give him a little shuttle, maybe, how far in what direction from the door -?

Permalink

And directions are given.

Permalink

And eventually Kib is sent on a shuttle to the garden, muttering to himself about bewildering rigmarole.

Permalink

And there are two of Lórien, one not doing the staticky I-am-a-god thing at all and the other one only doing it a little bit, definitely less than Kib remembers from Valar.

Hello, says little-bit-staticky. You want memories that were removed or tampered with restored?

Permalink

"Yeah."
