And here is a shoe store.

He gets a pair of shoes that fit him and go with his clothes. He seems very charmed by the selection, but in the end opts for minimal fanciness.

Permalink

"Anything else?" Korulen asks.

Permalink

"Nah, I think that's it. Thanks."

Permalink

"You're welcome." She leads him back to the road that extends in the direction of the school.

Permalink

He seems very cheerful for somebody stuck in a strange world. Maybe it's the shoes. He is fond of his new shoes.

Permalink

Regardless, Korulen says, "It's only going to be a few months before I can safely try to get a familiar, and that will probably let me reverse your summon so you can go home."

Permalink

He shrugs. "Okay. No rush."

Permalink

"There isn't anything you want to get back to?" she asks. "Or anyone you want to contact? Because somebody more competent than me could summon anybody who wanted to visit you here."

Permalink

"Nah," he says. "I'm kinda short on close friends at the moment, and I wasn't doing anything that interesting with my life."

Permalink

"Okay. So... I guess it could've been worse."

Permalink

"Bet it could, yeah."

Permalink

Korulen's fresh out of conversation starters. Silent walk back to the school?

Permalink

Silent walk back to the school, apparently!

Permalink

"You're in Mernan Hall," Korulen adds, when she's escorted him as far as the lift.

Permalink

"Okay. Thanks for all the stuff."

Permalink

"You're welcome," she says.

Permalink

And back to his room he goes, to put the cozy sheets on the bed! (Korulen has taken charge of Kaylo's shoes and can presumably be trusted to return them.)

Permalink

It is a bit later when there is a voice in his mind, Keo's to be exact: <How would you be disposed to spell your name, Teah?>

Permalink

<...I dunno,> he says. <I kind of just made it up. 'T e a h', I guess? Or - why?>

Permalink

<Well, most names mean something in Draconic, but yours appeared as a Draconic character as a sort of signature on a piece of paper purporting to explain the miracles.>

Permalink

<...That... isn't actually the only time that's happened? Some girl came and asked me if I'd sent her this note, and she said it said 'Teah' on it in Draconic. But I didn't actually send her the note. So I have no idea what that's all about. I mean, magic, I guess. But not more specifically than that.>

Permalink

<You didn't - hear it anywhere, or anything, it just popped into your head?>

Permalink

<Yeah. Well, as far as I know. Or... I think maybe I dreamed about it or something? I'm not sure. I don't tend to remember my dreams that well.>

Permalink

<Is it just a sound to you?>
