[Lance doesn't typically post to the network within a few weeks of a previous post, partially because talking to so many people is exhausting and partially because he usually doesn't have anything to say so soon after. But this time he has two brief announcements that happen to be time-sensitive, so here goes.]

Hello everyone. The list of who is available and willing to teach particular skills is now available, and I'll continue to make changes to it as requested; it isn't too late to volunteer, if you'd like to. Where possible I've provided references to the initial responses, so be sure to look at the details of what someone is offering.

[And that's the main announcement. The second one he's still nervous about, even though he's been set on doing it for awhile, and it's part of the reason this is text; it's easier both to choose his words and not back out if it's through text.]

I'm also going to be taking a brief break from non-emergency counseling. This will only be for a few weeks, and if a situation is very pressing or serious I'm still available to meet; please don't hesitate to contact me, and don't second-guess yourself about whether it's serious enough to warrant doing so. The last thing I want is for someone who really needs help not to get it because I decided to take a vacation.

[And he really, really means this; the entire idea is making him nervous all over again about the decision to take a break, because if something happened to someone because he wasn't available to meet with them he's not sure he would forgive himself. But people here survived a long time without a psychologist around, right? Surely everything will be okay.]

Ah! I was talking to the Lady Margaery, just the other day about something like this. Thank you, Doctor. If you have the wish to add to the list - my kin and I... there are few who know the blade and bow like we do. [ A wry twist of his mouth ] Centuries of warfare will do that, after all. If any wish to learn, we will teach. We cannot afford not to, any longer.

You're welcome, and thank you. I can definitely add you to the list, but could you give me specific names of who to include?

[He's not sure who all of them are, since he really only talks to Curufin regularly.]

Of course - Curufin, I think you know. My brother Maedhros, myself, of course, and my cousin Fingon. All of us can teach both blade and bow, although Fingon is better at the bow than all of us. Elrond should already be on the Healer's list, I think? And Celebrimbor and Curufin obviously run the forge.

Okay, so you, Curufin, Maedhros, and Fingon should be listed for archery and swordfighting. Elrond is not on the list of Clinic staff as far as I'm aware, although I haven't been involved with the Clinic much since the Null attack.

[So something might've changed; he's not sure.]

If he's interested in teaching, though, I could add him to this list; as for Curufin and Celebrimbor regarding the forge, would that be a skill they'd be willing to teach others?

[Because blacksmithing might actually be really useful.]

Elrond was always a teacher. [ Maglor says fondly ] I'm sure he would not mind. I do not know - but I doubt either my brother or my nephew would refuse anyone who wanted to learn.

Alright; I'll add you all, then, but if anyone turns out to not want to be involved just let me know and I'll remove them.

Thank you, I will.

I hope your rest proves helpful to you as well!

Thank you; I hope so too.

If you need anything - please, ask. Rest well, Doctor!
