They and most of their friends are all here on Planet Rainbowsand II, to celebrate the addition of Sarion, the elf one, and Aurora, the one with a sister.
+You're cute.+ Pause. +Apparently mindreading is highly recommended - in the one direction, obviously not the other. But we haven't even known each other very long.+
+Well - I know how I feel about you, but I'm not sure you do. And I want you to.+ He laughs. +Maybe I should just get Sue to bounce it to you.+
+Sort of a trial run? Maybe. Sue's push-only, no pull, right? Or Aegis wouldn't tolerate it.+
He's still a little scared of her, but he knows he doesn't have to be. She gives him all kinds of nice warm snuggly feelings. He wants to cuddle her forever, or maybe fuck her, or maybe eat all her food, or maybe make all her food. But 'forever' is definitely in there any which way.
He was never supposed to need a wielder; he was made to be controllably autonomous. But feeling her there on the other end of his magic is comfortable in a way he has never been before. Maybe this is what a properly matched connection is like, or maybe it's because he was cripplingly lonely for four hundred years, or maybe not having this is why he was cripplingly lonely for four hundred years. Or maybe it's just her. All he knows is, he likes it.
He casts a dimensional transfer to bring them to the first Planet Rainbowsand, and when they get there, he conjures them a big tent made of translucent white fabric and floored with a thick comfortable blanket.
Brilliance decides that he prefers to get there the fun way.
Aurora's mind is not even on the array of clothes-getting-out-of-options. It is on that lovely lovely memory. +I feel half like I'm dreaming.+
+Do you want Sue to just keep sending that at you while we...? Because I bet he would,+ says Brilliance, wriggling out of his shirt and pouncing for kisses.
+I do not think I want Sue involved. I could just hex up the standard if you wouldn't mind though. Or pentagon it for a test run.+ Kisses!
Simple enough. She pulls a hex out of her "coinpurse", spends it, kisses him again. +There.+
