Use? Aye. So long as we all dance to their tune I am sure we are of use. They have so far used charm and gifts. I wonder when they will decide to use force, instead.

[ A wry shrug ] Then let us hope it never comes to that, eh? [ although a part of him is... curious. He has only seen Vanyel work magic once, after all. He does not know how far his skills might extend ]

Became? Oh, sorry. Nothing - the Yavanna is the name we gave to Earth-Queen, one of the Powers of the World. Many of my kin studied at the feet of the Valar, but... they dwell in Valinor, and not since the first breaking of the world have they set foot in Middle-earth again. So... those of us who left took only what they taught us, and nothing more. But the making of lembas is something taught only to a few - mostly the healers.

[ He takes a few small loaves of the lembas and slips them in a pack before taking Vanyel's hand again. Another step and they are in the Station. Indoors, near Maglor's room here - in the TV room, to be exact, since that is where Maglor knows the best ]

Amil will not mind. Here, rest a while, and if you like, you can see if the lembas will be kinder to your stomach than other food.
