She is currently dead and cannot reassure him on this point.

He visits Space.

He is making up for all that time he spent pining for his Peka without having met her.

And this is AWESOME.

One second of watching Peka smile would make it worth it except for how it was totally worth it in its own right.

She will smile for a lot more than one second! She smiles a lot. She looooves him.

He loves her! He is so so happy! He explains adjacency and why the house keys worked the way they did - "had to get you through Revelation and then Hell and then to here - the castle's in the other direction, in Telperion -"

"Ooh, I get it. Are people going to be mad that I stood in their valleys?"

"Arranged 'em different valleys because we suspect they'll get over the pollution thing faster if they're sure everyone's accommodating it. This generation might never, but their kids hopefully won't catch it so bad, with nothing around to be freaked out by."

"Maybe."

Snuggle. "I don't mind accommodating them so long as it's like 'so all the reds can go wherever they want and do whatever they like, given that what are you going to want in order to feel comfortable?'"

"One of the theologians asked everybody if they felt better after she magicked them."

Snort. "I wonder if the ones who don't think you're people think you suddenly acquired peoplehood." 

"Maybe they think we have been ejected from the species and, as animals, cannot be inherently polluted."

Kiss. "One of my alts wants to talk to you."

"Like, 'hi, welcome to the bizarre multidimensional family' or like 'threesome?' or what?"

"There is a world where everybody is kinky and he has decided he wants that world's Rebecca but is worried about the 'acculturated into reaaally low expectations' thing. I said I don't think you have reaaaally low expectations but I don't know if his Rebecca's low expectations can be fixed with enough magic presents."

"...there's a world where everyone is kinky?" she blinks.

"Big multiverse!!! They built all their social institutions around it. Everyone else thinks they're weird but, y'know, you do you."

"Anyway I'll talk to him, sure."

He stops by. "Hi! Oh, that is a pretty hair color."

"Thanks!"

"So there are a bunch of you who died on 1800s Earth and we are trying to fetch them all back."

"That's really sweet. Why do you want the kinky one, unless I misunderstood that's not your thing? What kind of kinky, anyway?"

"We don't know, that's kind of the problem - there's plenty that would be my thing but some that'd be more of a stretch and resurrecting her for an interview about whether we have a boyfriend for her seems like the wrong way to go."
