The actual puppet ruler of your world?

Nnnnot exactly, or not yet, he has five other Great Mages to work around and is justifiably concerned about provoking them but I've suspected I was an integral piece in some kind of plot against them since I was eighteen.

Well. Think how pleased he'll be to have you back. Does the plot work better or worse if you have a pretty boy on your arm because I hate politics but will happily be arm candy. 

Also, in his defense, he's only like three hundred years old. I think it has less to do with anything arm candy would help with and more to do with being a nascent Great Mage myself.

No longer nascent, by the time you get home. 

True. Although I sincerely doubt he anticipated the murder and subsequent world-jumping, let alone Milliways.

Yeah. Well, hopefully he'll be pleasantly surprised to have you back and powerful. 

I expect so, yes.

Everyone except Morgoth is going to be pleasantly surprised. 

Morgoth will be briefly horrified. And then he'll be nothing at all.

I can't wait. 

Well, I don't think we'll be too bored in the meanwhile.

Weren't you doing magic. 

She is totally still doing magic. I can multitask, dearheart, why?

I can't even single task around you. 

I love you. And I'm very good at channeling Feelings into magic.

Might be able to wrangle it if the single task is watching you. 

You are so incredibly good for my ego.

I try. 

She really wants to fly back down and kiss him some more, but the smol.

Yes, let's not overexpose the kid. Who can read emotions and is probably getting some strong ones anyway.

If the kid is disturbed by what Tyelcormo's feeling she isn't really reacting to it. She's just delightedly flopped on Huan and watching her alt demonstrate supremacy over her environment.

Good. 

Well, Huan is so floppable.

Huan's being very tolerant. He will be owed lots of thank yous later. Mind, he's probably as happy as anyone to win the war.
