Laume only offered a small grin before shifting her hero to look more normal. No scales no fins, just skin as normal and plain as an elf.”I tried to give myself gills as a child when I had little idea of how they worked, and needless to say I have not tried again. But its perhaps a possibility.” She grinned, making her hands look a bit like her father’s. “but I certainly won’t try again.”(daughterxftheseas)(off excuse my naive child)

….Of course you won’t, dearheart. 

Also what’s this I hear about you wanting to find out if I had working gills or not?(daughterxftheseas)

Oh, mere curiosity, pet! 

You’re quite unique, biologically speaking, and what sort of Aulendur would I be, if I did not maintain a scientific interest in the physiologically unique? Besides, with greater understanding comes better security and safeguards. Surely you’ve asked such questions yourself, about your own nature? 

…Do they work?  I presume not– or at least, not efficiently, based on your request for an underwater breathing apparatus.

That’s a lovely little sierpinski pyramid you’ve made, my dear. But even a fully fledged Maia would find it beyond them to make it infinitely replicating, even if the laws of matter permitted such a thing. 

…It will make a charming bauble for an earring, perhaps. 

Okay now I’m curious. You find Luthien interesting for her abilities and for the fact she’s the child of a Maia and an elf, but what of Laume? I mean technically yes her mother is an elf that’s how Ossë and Uinen had her but Uine was still a Maia at one time.

I think her conception is an interesting conundrum of metaphysics and biology. Interesting, certainly. Beyond that, I think she is the daughter of an old, contentious friend (or friendly enemy? It is hard to say). Only time will tell which parts of her nature win over. 

…I hope that was the full extent of your question, for my relationship with her bears no resemblance to that which I had with Luthien– hypothetically or otherwise. She is pretty as a bright shell on unsullied sand, as foam caught in the light of the setting sun; she is still a child, and I do not wish for any strife between us. 

So what you’re saying is: *Throat torn out, pretty lady that just iicked your ass halfway to mandos practically steps on you and commands you to do things* -> Oh no she’s hot

I’m not above admitting what is true, and common knowledge: Luthien was a great beauty. And I am a man with particular tastes. 

I was not remiss in my duties–  I would have killed her if necessary, or much more likely, held her for ransom in exchange for her father’s compliance, perhaps even the opening of Doriath. 

But with the safe luxury of hindsight (and a healed throat), I confess that being ordered to submit by an assertive young princess with a fire in her eye and a certain, savage curl to her lips wouldn’t be so regrettable. What can I say? Sometimes the view from one’s knees is a thing to be treasured. 

Dear Thû, how do you feel about Lúthien – any strong feelings involved?

*clears throat* 

Disastrous consequences of our meeting aside… I found her rather intriguing. She is, or was, unique, being the offspring of Maia and Eruhína. She seemed to care not for the rules of kings nor the aspirations of princes when she had her mind set. She followed her own way, with great audacity and clever use of her abilities. We might have had something to talk about, had we met under vastly different circumstances (I can hardly imagine how, or why, but this is all hypothetical to begin with), and had she not gone on to rob my Master.  

But oh! What a figure! Praise the One for the rare gift that is an ample-bodied elves!   

Shame about her man being in my dungeon. And that wretched, foul-toothed wolf-killer she brought with her… 

Thu is like a cross between a cave bear and a dire wolf. Ancient, primal and so delightfully hirsute. Both toothy and toothsome!

Why, thank you kindly! I often aspire to be the reason Men stay indoors at night, for one reason or another.

“Uncle Thû, do you think it’s possible to make a device that could help me breathe underwater?”(she may be asking because Lings are a pain and it’s Father’s Day and she totally wants to spend more time in the sea without worry to get to the surface for air)(daughterxftheseas)

Ooh! Engineering challenge! Engineering challenge! 

Now, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t already been working on something similar, but I’ve had no cause to test it before now. All we need is a some sort of oxygen reservoir and a caustic solution–  limewater or potash, which I have aplenty– to absorb the carbon dioxide from your exhalations, allowing you to reuse the air you take with you for a time. No system is perfect, by law of nature, but it should allow you to stay submerged for about, oh, three hours? 

By Eru I wish we’d invent synthetic rubber already… 

Whatever– put this on, and now,  you’re ready to go on your father-daughter bonding dive! (Please take meticulous notes and record any malfunctions! <3)

Uncle Thû

IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR THÛ DURING PRIDE MONTH – Would you consider yourself a Bear or are you more of a Wolf?

You tell me.
