"Most teaching is orange but if she taught university or martial arts or culinary school that would be different."

"It could be hollow underneath."

"Or stack up some chunks of seafloor," offers Cadra.

"...Maybe. Or:" illusion of something floating.

"Yes, or float, if it can bear weight like that."

Shrug.

"There's a lot of ocean and lots of it is in seasoned latitudes."

Nod. "Fly bigger magic floating."

"There's no obvious added benefit from our perspective to a flying island."

"It sounds fun. Just not like it maximizes living space."

Shrug. "Not permissions."

"Yes, your species has different needs."

Nod nod.

"Are there a lot of flying cities?"

Headshake. "One flying city."

"Work very well. Big magic."
