"Here we are! Look, like I said."

...Ekador peers down at Miles with a deeply disturbed expression.

"Can you fix him?"

"When you reported the problem as 'a guy with some broken bones', were you unaware of what you were leaving out?" he asks Aleko.

"I told you about the time traveling bar thing! What did I leave out?"

"You left out the - the - " He gestures helplessly. "I entirely lack the vocabulary to describe it. Something is very wrong here, that's all I can tell you. Multiple things. On top of the mere broken shoulder."

"Miles has a bone condition thing, hence the breakability. Can you fix that?"

...Miles sits up alertly. This is probably not good for his shoulder, but he has painkillers now!

"I... think so."

"Well, find out," says Miles. "Carefully. And fix my shoulder in the meantime."

"Certainly," says Ekador. He goes over to Miles and lays a hand on his shoulder and frowns slightly. There are some rather unpleasant cracking noises. "Well, you don't have any broken bones anymore, that's an improvement."

"If only I'd gotten to see Valdin doing this I might have something useful to say."

"I would be very surprised if Valdin had ever done anything like this. I've never encountered anything like it before. His bones are... they're more fragile than a very old person's, and they seem to have been that way all his life. And - what happened to your legs?"

"Oh. I got those ones replaced with synthetics," he says. "You can leave them alone."

"Very well." He looks around. He sees Mark. "...And who's this, your much luckier twin? Would you mind coming here so I can compare you?"

Ekador closes his eyes and examines their respective skeletons, frowning.

"Bone powers. Something new every day."

"In most cases Ekador has pretty limited applications, but convenient he was within reach today."

"Yes... this might hurt more than the broken shoulder," Ekador warns.

"I'm on painkillers," Miles says brightly.

"Aleko and I went to the chapel and then instead of successfully entering the chapel we went here instead. Followed by Mark and Ivan," she points, "who've been here before, and then followed by Miles, who you just worked on, who hasn't. The bar is magic, it does time-travel and alternate universes, I intend to thoroughly inspect the space of possibilities opened by its appearance."
