"Records, like...? Is this a nifty otherworldly magic thing?"

"Yeah! You magic 'em onto a crystal somehow. I don't know the technical side."

"Otherworldly magic is so great!"

"Yours can't do that stuff?"

"I guess you could probably make an artifact that played music but it'd take, like, months, with normal magic. And I don't even know how you'd try to make an artifact with the explodey kind."

"Well, I'm sure it's good for some stuff."

"Oh, I like my magic! I built my house with it! But yours seems like it's way more convenient overall."

"I don't practice it m'self but I've got an aunt and a cousin who're wizards."

"Cool! Maybe I'll pester them if I want to learn about technical magic details, are they pesterable types? I'd feel bad asking the accidental kidnappers a million questions, they like, owe me, I don't wanna lean on that too much."

"They might be pesterable. They live in this country, if you wanna go on a daytrip."

"You could introduce me sometime, if you want!"

"Sure. Bit late to fly out that way now, I was thinking I'd go back to my hotel room."

"Back to your hotel room sounds like a place to go, certainly. —I should probably mention at this point that I have a girlfriend, but we do this kind of thing all the time, she won't mind."

"Can't scare me. - I'd ask if she wanted to come but she's probably in another world."

"Yep. I can introduce you when she visits. I bet she'll like you, you're very cute."

"Aww, thanks." Arm?

Arm! So cute.

"Fifteen minutes' walking," he says as they exit the theater. "No good place to land near it. Not big, anyway, I can eagle it."

"Fifteen minutes' walking is fine by me."

And then they are at his hotel!

He has a nice room and is good in bed.

Anlei appreciates these things about him! Anlei is not bad herself. And very cheerful and cuddly. They will have such a good time together.

Excellent!

Best accidental kidnapping ever.

And then she is welcome to stay the night or -

"I don't have a place to land here but if you want a ride back, this building is tall enough that if you jumped I could shift under you. Or just walk to the park, but you seem like the type to have fun with the jumping thing."

"...the jumping thing sounds awesome but so does staying the night. Guess I could stay the night and you could fly me back in the morning."
