"Given that there's no need to hurry, how long would you all like to stay? The girls are fourteen and thirteen, now, and besides the fluffbat nesting on Shell Bell there's also two more ridiculously cute pets they acquired from a cave Kanim found; perhaps you'd like to meet Icarin and Valeria, I'm sure they'd think you were interesting. In any case I'll take the coin influx, if you don't mind, Aurora."

"Oh, I should refer you to Kanim, probably, while I'm catching up with my alts. He's a magician just as much as I am," says Glass. [Kanim! Offworld visitation!]
And:

[Some of them are here. Jane is still broken, but one of them has the ability to walk from world to world by ordinary doors whenever she likes and she's come with a couple of the others. And another one says she has an Ike and a Val in her world.]

"Well!" says Kanim. "There are many kinds. Witchcraft, sorcery, wizardry, various racial magics, various species magics - those are not quite the same thing, mind - and of course locational magics of all sorts! Where would you like to start?"
