Alleluia and Caleb tell their children about magic, one by one. Isabella meets with each one to clarify a few matters. She gives Ezra a job, at the Eyrie - it is convenient to have more people around who know her secrets. And the youngest, an angel girl named Naamah, just nineteen (a last minute surprise to her parents), wants someone to talk to who is more familiar with magic than her but isn't up to their neck in it like Isabella or Micaiah - or even her own parents, who have been to all those Bell parties.
Isabella thinks about this.

[I don't see why not. Do you have one in mind?]
After all, none of the Jokers live in Atlantis.

[Not especially. I don't know them that well. I'll ask Micaiah, I guess.]

[Sure. And he can take you up to the ship so Jane can send you wherever you decide to go.]
[Okay. Um, thanks.]
That's it for a little while.
And then, five days later, Micaiah brings Nathaniel up to the ship.

"Hi," he says. "I want to visit Aurum, please."
He nods.
Alice is waiting at the Janepoint.
"Welcome to Aurum! Okay, I don't see you interacting with anyone who might mate to you, it looks like you mostly hang out in space," says Alice. "Have fun!" And off she traipses.

Nathaniel wonders how it is that he will be hanging out in space.

He does not have long to wonder.
"Hi, sweetie!" says the Joker, teleporting in. "Wanna hug?"

He smiles and nods.

The Joker hugs him.
"Wanna meet my kids? Dunno what Kerron's up to, but I was just with Aedyt. She says hi."

"Maybe one at a time," he says, smiling tentatively.

"You got it," he says, and squeezes Nathan's hand, and then they are standing just outside of a cute little house on a cute little asteroid.

Aedyt waves from the doorway. "Hey, uncleoid," she says. "Is that the right word? Whatever. Mummy made cupcakes, come have some."
Nathaniel proceeds inside for cupcakes.
So far, his brother's alt and family are delightfully nonthreatening!

[Hey babe, where are you at?] Nathan asks. [Kerron's crashed for the night and this is a good time to cheat at cross-country road trip by skipping out overnight.]

[At the pumpkin's place. Micaiah's brother Nathaniel is visiting. You wanna come see him? He's a sweetheart. Kinda jumpy, though, so I better ask him first.]

[Yeah, sure, I'll be up when the time is right.]

[Love you, sweetie.]
He consults Nathaniel.
[Yeah, he says it's okay,] he reports, and the optimal time to appear in Aedyt's living room occurs shortly afterward.

Pop!
Nathaniel may be a guest, but Nathan's mate has his attention first. Kiss! And then:
"Hullo, Nathaniel. We've got excessively similar names, so if you want, you can call me Timer."
