"But, yes. Well. It's not like people haven't done worse for less reason."

"Well, I'm not certain regular high-risk missions to save whoever won the "worst person to die this year" award are a good plan, but as a one-time thing it seems probably worth it. It'll be pretty tricky logistically to get a thousand people vetted and introduced to a new magic system and practiced up to the level of plane shifting, but that seems like the sort of thing that could be managed on this plane. We'd also need to figure out how to do it deliberately, it can be done but I don't know the spell and I wound up here by accident."

"Yes, I don't think it's a very good solution, but any is better than none."

"It will take some time, can I have a way to contact you directly? I could always go through Kanimir but he doesn't like me very much."

"Kanimir doesn't like anyone very much, except his sister, I advise not taking it personally, but I do have an email address--has email been explained to you?"

"Oh, I wasn't taking it personally at all, I had noticed it was not specific to me. I just don't want to bother him unnecessarily. Email has not been explained to me yet but if you give me the address I can use it once I figure it out."

She names the address. "And I can explain it if you want."

"I won't turn down an explanation, if it's short. It's kind of late and I spent today's daylight hours staring at a screen reading wikipedia and I think I will need to sleep soon. Unless you have a magical angel headache cure, then I can probably keep going for a while longer. Asprin seems to be not quite cutting it."

She pokes her in the forehead. Her headache goes away.

"Oh, that's great. How does email work?"

She explains email.

"Thank you! Is there more you want to talk about now?"

"Not that's urgent."

"Non-urgent things are fine too, I've just exhausted my current supply of questions for you and don't want to keep you if that's it."

"Noting that can't as easily wait until after you've slept."

"Oh, I'm not planning to sleep right away, you fixed my headache so I can probably get in at least four more hours of wikipedia, Kanimir's books, and talking to you. I'm having enough fun that it's probably not psychologically necessary, and physiologically I seem to be doing fine now."
