"So you have to find different places to put everything. Gosh."

"You could think of an elevator as a kind of multiply opening door," Pepper muses. "But with more waiting. Not much more waiting, though, if it's a good elevator."

Permalink

"What's an elevator do?"

Permalink

"It's a... box big enough to stand in that moves up and down between floors of a tall building much more quickly than you could climb the same distance using stairs."

Permalink

"I... guess that's better than just having a lot of stairs? I mean, we have stairs too, the castle is pretty big. Also you have to go all the way up one of the towers to get to the dungeons."

Permalink

"That sounds inconvenient," says Pepper.

Permalink

"Yeah, but it's not like we use the dungeons much."

Permalink

"I'd hope not! Frequently used dungeons are so rarely a good sign," says Pepper.

"...None of my moms will actually tell me what we would use them for, if we used them. The tablecloth drying rack used to be down there, though," she adds.

Permalink

"I see."

"But they're inconvenient to get to anyway and there's not too little room in other parts of the castle, so that's okay." Carinna puts Mossy on her shoulder. Mossy snuggles up to her neck and whmmmmmms.

Pepper smiles.

"Do you want to hold Mossy?"

Permalink

"I think I would like that very much."

Carinna hands over Mossy. "The glowing and the whmmming are happy," she says, sounding like she fancies herself a multiverse-class expert on poofs.

Pepper accepts the poof.

It whmmmmmmms.

"What a little darling," she says, petting it tentatively.

"They're so nice! You don't have to be careful, either, it just looks like it - you can't hurt them, when they glow it makes an anti-injury field and it works for people near them too."

Permalink

"That's convenient," says Pepper, petting Mossy's fluff. "Do they, um... make more poofs somehow or other?"

Permalink

"I guess they must. I've never seen them doing it. There's always plenty in the cave."

Permalink

"A mystery," she says. "Well, all right."

Permalink

"Kanim might know. He studies caves and stuff and he's been studying the Gentle Cave."

Permalink

"Is Kanim here?"

Permalink

"Yeah. He's probably with Tony, I mean Iron."

Permalink

"I have a Tony, too," Pepper mentions. "Mine is Iron Man."

Permalink

"I guess that makes sense, if he is a boy Tony. It's weird that most of them are boys."
