Okay! They'll be back tomorrow, right?

Some of them can probably come back tomorrow, sure!

Cool!

They bring them back to where their companion was working with the mage, and then ask if they need to go back where they were or anything to teleport home.

They don't! They'll just head out as soon as they've said their goodbyes.

Much of the flock does come to see them off. They're welcome back anytime.

They appreciate it. They teleport home.

Rána is there to meet them, looking stressed.

"Hey! They're so nice!"

She doesn't relax but she does grin. "Good. Did you get the form?"

"Yep!" They send it.

"Thanks." She trances for a moment. "Yeah, that should do it, thank you."

"Oh, excellent! They're so friendly, too."

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves."

"And the language!" They continue talking about exciting things about bird-people until someone says "..what's wrong?"

...sigh.

"I don't like taking risks with my world like that."

"Risks with your world?"

She nods. "I know you like them, but - there's plenty of harm they could cause without hexing people, if they want to, or if they feel pushed into it, or just by accident. They might not, but it's not the kind of thing we can know for sure, especially this quickly."

"It's worth it anyway, but I don't like it."

"We can keep an eye out for problems. They're expecting us to visit all the time."

"That'll help. ...If you're going to invite them here you need to warn me, they probably won't take it well if they find out you have a kobold friend."

"What makes you think that?"

"Most people in that world won't, kobolds have a pretty bad reputation."

"They seemed pretty open-minded."

"Sure. But I don't want to trust my - or more realistically Tirinquo's - life to that. Just warn me, it's not a big deal."

"Okay. Bet it won't be a problem, though."
