"Yeah, no fair."

"So not fair! There, that's one way my world's magic comes out ahead, anybody in the world can use it just as well as anybody else if they put in the time to learn how."

"I think only witchcraft is that fair."

"Maybe I should try to learn it, see if it's fair enough to give me a shot."

"Maybe! I dunno where to get you started on that, sorry."

"I'm sure I'll figure something out."

"Good luck. We bothering my aunt and cousin or just dropping you off at school?"

"Bothering your aunt and cousin sounds like fun!"

"Alrighty then. Lemme know if you need a break or decide you want to stop somewhere and buy sunscreen or whatever." And around he wheels.

"Will do!"

Wheeeeeeeee dragon rides.

"I'm not an aerobaticist or anything, but if you get bored and wanna loop..."

"You're the best!! Yes I definitely wanna loop!"

"All right, here goes!"

Loop!

"Wheeee!"

He loops periodically for the duration of the flight, then lands outside a house in a sparse area.

A giggling Anlei hops off and hugs his shiny neck.

A very small bird flits out of a window and turns into a very small human. "Hello Aurin, who's this?"

"Hullo, Mial, this is Anlei, she's from another world and wants to bother wizards." He will continue to have a shiny neck until Anlei is done hugging it.

"Well, she's come to the right place! What do you want to bother wizards about?"

And now she is done hugging it. "I kind of wanna talk comparative magic systems but it'd be awkward to do it at the wizard school I was accidentally kidnapped to with the people who accidentally kidnapped me!"

"I am more than happy to fill in!"

Aurin ceases to have a shiny neck.

Anlei grins. "Cool."

"C'mon in," Mial says cheerfully. "Have you had breakfast? There's soup."

"Quick hotel stuff is all."
