And out she goes.

He asks the girl at the print shop. She remembers posters about the laws being enforced even if you turn into a rabbit. 

       "You should send yourself one of those timed reminder emails," says one of his colleagues. 

"Uh. Okay."

Spring ends. Ana is much more cheerful and spends less time clinging to whichever small child she can monopolize. Pelape successfully reseasons into summer too. Nanha delivers (and tolerates Miranda's assistance with) a beautiful baby boy called Imeo.

Aitim visits on the weekend and clings to babies and tells his daughters history stories. "I'm wrapping up loose ends so I can go back home and get to work on an Anitami magical government, a unified policy for dealing with wizards, and a delay on population controls. Who wants to come?"

"Are you still worried we're going to cause a diplomatic problem?"

"Do you think you can manage, if people are condescending, to leave the fact you could murder them by twitching your fingers implicit?"

"Yes."

"And there is something to report on the terraforming, even if it's not ready to deploy?"

"We can definitely do liquid air dispensing objects, it just turns out to be very difficult to make Mars hold the air."

"I expect that on the whole this will be sellable as 'good news to be handled cautiously' rather than 'existential threat' but might try to just explain things myself with an obviously magic item before introducing anyone."

"Kinda item do you want?"

"The spacefolding is very exciting, if you have something handy that shows that off."

"Sure, you can have a trunk with a ladder down to a whole room if you like."

"That sounds lovely."

"And I'm looking into Muggleborns likely to approve of you but it's slow going, most people of that background are as quiet as they can be about it."

She goes and gets one.

Aitim prefers to have all his memories for this part. He takes his trunk and delegates activities on Earth and hops a warp ship.

"Do you need corroboration from someone you're not related to -"

"I hear I should maybe expect the unrelatedness-to-me to be temporary if you get along out of spring."

"True."

"I also hear Kefin is not, in fact, out of spring yet and will make such faces at me if I steal you offplanet."

"Okay. Good luck."

"Thank you!"

And she goes to soothe his reseasoning brother.

And Aitim gives his children last cuddles and heads offplanet with his trunk and an entourage that includes Miranda and Karen but no one else because he has enough to explain without adding the correspondences thing. 

He has communicated to his colleagues that he needs an all-day off-the-record meeting.
