"I thought that was called Iceland," says Sinkali.

"Iceland is farther west and north. The one right next to Europe is Britain and then the one west of it is Ireland."

"We can try it," Sinkali says.

Nanha looks about as miserable as a person with one baby on her and another in her can get.

Sigh. "Try not to get yourself killed."

Permalink

"I'm trying not to get everybody killed but that sure would be a bonus."

Permalink

"Are you coming too?" Sinkali asks Kan.

Permalink

"I do not think I would be very helpful anywhere else with all the kids with you."

"How did you even meet friendly wizards?" asks Nanha. "How do you know they're friendly and not just mind-controlling you?"

Permalink

"We met when they showed up in our house in the middle of the night, knocked everyone unconscious, drugged me, paralyzed me, woke me up, interrogated me all night about the plans for the country, and then erased my memory. I know they're not currently mind-controlling me because they have demonstrated the mind-controlling on me and it feels differently. I'm confident they are friendly because they have an uncanny similarity to my family - you'll see what I mean when you meet them - and we've been collaborating productively and they helped arrest the attempted rapist and helped set up the Veritaserum deal and have given me a lot of information about wizards which I have since verified."

"Dear stars," says Sinkali.

"They attacked the girls?" says Nanha.

"The girls were already asleep, but they intended to knock them unconscious if they woke up, yes. I - the drug doesn't allow much extraneous speech but I tried to convince them to leave the girls out of it, and they clarified much later when we were on friendlier terms that it hadn't actually occurred to them I'd fear for my children, because obviously they wouldn't hurt children."

"That's really the sort of thing you should be clear on beforehand!" exclaims Sinkali.

Permalink

"Yep."

 

(Kan hugs him).

Permalink

"Are you very sure that is all clear now -"

Permalink

"They would never hurt the kids. If I were anything less than completely sure of that I'd be sending you all home no matter the subsequent political disaster."

Permalink

"And us?"

Permalink

"They might say things they don't realize sound threatening. They won't hurt you."

Permalink

Nanha makes a face. Sinkali pets her and says "We can leave if it's unbearable."

Permalink

Aitim looks at the babies sadly again. 

Permalink

Nanha scoops Malo and offers him.

Permalink

"We'll go," Sinkali says.

Permalink

Nod. "I'll let them know." Instead he clings to his son.

Permalink

Kan texts them.
