There is some time for introductory wizardry in there! Yay.

And Idaia can practice that between other things until she's out of mana for the day.

"Your mana capacity'll go up as you practice, and you recharge with sleep or with lounging around not doing much."

"Fortunately, I don't have Feanaro's sleep-avoidance problems."

"It really handicapped him."

"And he still got as good as he did. Because Feanaro."

"Well, he could still do theory when he was out of mana."

"True."

Sigh.

"I hope mine are--as okay as they can be, given the circumstances."

"Yeah, me too."

"And, of course, I don't even know all the circumstances."

Nod.

"I think they're probably not okay."

"Well. Fortunately in addition to being a wizard..."

"You're also a therapist, yeah. That's something."

"I can only do so much, but yeah."

"I know there's no point in worrying when I don't have any idea yet--but--"

"Of course you're worried. I am too."

"I want to go home and I know perfectly well that I never ever can," she says in a small voice.

Nod.

"Fucking Valar--fuck, fuck--"

"They made the place and still don't get what taking it from people means."

"It's not even Valinor that I miss so much, it's just--I was happy there but people were already trying to leave when I got there, I would have gone happily too if I could have just--made it there, still had my family whole and happy--"

Nod.
