This seems to me like a good place to wrap up the thread's story. I have an idea to have Sid turn around and look, and see at least one of the characters that have been introduced into this little story, and turn to tell Becca he'll be back, and then narrate a series of briefly mentioned meetings, such as with a certain pair of hobbits, as well as an old man coming out of a library at a strange time of night, and the young woman with him, who's eyes seem very old, et cetera.
You know, it occurs to me that handled properly, this could work as a very nice little published tale. Lots of interesting characters, with the Becca to Sid passing the special thing on as the sort of spine of the story. There are obvious issues regarding the star, since that is Tolkien literary property, but there might be ways to get around that. Just a thought.
