They've left him alone in his cell.

He can't really be said to be lucid but he has very acute instincts for when there's someone and when he's alone - it's the last of his senses to depart him - and he's alone. 

And then suddenly he isn't.

Got anything?

Permalink

There isn't anything at all with no people. I have a few places without many, though. She passes him the relevant skins.

Permalink

Well, maybe they'll be pleased to have a hundred thousand neighbors. He sighs. Any way to tell how far these are from the Enemy?

Permalink

Not with the magic. With your eyesight you might just be able to see if I put the portal high enough and let you move the perspective around, I'm not sure.

Permalink

Could be worth checking, would you?

Permalink

Sure, is there one you like?

Permalink

He selects one. Looks like a good place to build a home, don't you think?

Permalink

Mmhmm.

And shortly there's a portal. It follows how you hold it, she demonstrates, then hands it over.

Permalink

He is delighted. Thank you! You're really clever with how you put this to use - hmmm -

Permalink

Yay!

Permalink

I think if it is even on this continent it is pretty far from the Enemy.

Permalink

Sounds good. Scouts first? And once you're ready I can do big teleportation areas just right on the ice that'll take people there.

Permalink

Yes, scouts next. He hugs her. Thank you.

Permalink

Findekáno: has her figured out. She leans into the hug, but doesn't cling. You're very welcome.

Permalink

It'll be warm and safe and lovely. We can do portals to somewhere with iron. 

Permalink

Mmhmm.

...I might end up moving there, if that's okay. I think I'll get along better with you than the other host.

Permalink

Of course that's okay. I'm curious why you think so, though.

Permalink

Less of a cultural difference, at least I hope. The way you described them earlier... it sounds like they live very separate from each other, socially. And kobolds very much don't; we need companionship like you need beauty, I think.

Leaning on him? Yup, leaning on him.

Permalink

He hugs her. I don't think we're different from them culturally. We were one people, before they left us to die. We probably do cuddle more, now, out of habit.

Permalink

She grins up at him. That's important, yeah. And, like... they had a thousand questions about my magic but never thought to thank me for helping their sibling. Which, I don't mind, I guess? That's not why I did it or anything. But it's not what I want from tribemates.

Permalink

He laughs. That does sound like my cousins, yeah. Well, we're happy to have you.

Permalink

Good. Let's go see about those scouts.

Permalink

Scouts are found and teleported.

Permalink

She doesn't have any particular plans for the rest of the day - she could tell him about herself or kobolds in general or her magic or something, if he's interested and not busy.

Permalink

He is extremely busy but it looks like she could use that. He would love to hear about her.
