Nod. "What a strange - thing - is it just your, uh, family and the corresponding one -"

"If it's anyone else it might not have come out yet because there are so many people on both planets, my family's famous is how we know at all - I guess now we'll have to look much harder, maybe it's lots of people - maybe it's everyone and that will help the Amentans stop being condescending..."

"But the parallelism is - you met me when we were changing dollars for ni, there wouldn't be ni if not for them!"

Permalink

"I know!!! I would have no reason to be in the Americas - it's really disconcerting -"

Permalink

Kitty is giggling softly.

Permalink

"Well. We can invite them over for dinner, I guess, and you can - meet your counterparts - I've emailed mine but we haven't met up - obviously, or I'd have recognized you -"

"Apparently. Except the hair." She shakes her head.

"Purple. Isama founded a furniture company. She's a billionaire."

"Furniture, huh. I suppose if she's a skyperson she didn't have to dress in drag."

"Yeah, they don't care. - I actually said that to Kantil when he asked if I was going to get married, that he could meet a business genius and I couldn't -"

"Pfft," says Susanna.

(Kitty giggles harder.)

"It didn't occur to me that maybe I should be suspiciously eyeing ones I already knew!"

Permalink

"I pass myself off pretty well apart from, ah, sounding young," she says.

Permalink

"I didn't think anything of it. I'm glad you could do that. America's richer for it."

Permalink

Smile.

Permalink

"Should we go out back and meet my family?"

Permalink

"Sure."

Permalink

Out back Timothy and Michael are dueling, with some sort of shield up behind which the children are watching with fascination. They both stop at once.

Permalink

"This is Kitty, this is - Isaiah?"

Permalink

"Unless more members of your family work in textiles or related trades my real name is safe enough."

Permalink

"Susanna. We got married. For Statute purposes, and I didn't know that she corresponds to Isama and Kitty to Isama's sister but, uh, they do, so there's that."

Permalink

" - you got married."

Permalink

"On paper."

Permalink

"Congratulations!"

Permalink

" - if that's where you want to go with this, sure."
