Narmincë talks to her fellow astronomers after the Darkening. Drabble. Rated General.

Narmincë looked down the table at the professor. “There is nothing further that we can do. Finarfin has returned; society is far more stable than it was.” She gestured at the closed window. “What more would you ask of us? None of us are farmers. We no longer have the Trees or the Dome, and now we can confirm our observations.” Narmincë took a deep breath. “I for one will not give up my studies. I am leaving for Araman in three days. Our work has been disrupted enough. It is time to return to it.”

The other astronomers nodded.
