"Being able to take them off and put them in the closet for nighttime monster-hunting expeditions will more than do. Better yet if I can fold them up small enough to stick in a backpack without being able to miniaturize them."

"...You can probably do that with some wings... I wish I'd brought any spare pairs with me, then we could test some of this stuff. Oh well."

"What sort of variety is available?"

"These ones - the Celestial Wings - are fancy and really expensive," she says, wing-shrugging with the elaborate white-and-silver set she's currently wearing (and separating more candies for Bella while she talks). "They're made out of four other sets put together. My first pair was the Harpy Wings, they're ordinary feathered wings. The Fin Wings are weird, they're like - those fish with the really big, thin fins and tails that trail around prettily? Wings made of that. And then there's the Flame Wings, which are like bird wings but on fire. The Spooky Wings are my favourite, they're like tree branches with cobwebs, they make it really obvious that all this flying is being accomplished by magic, but the materials are really hard to get so I probably can't make a spare pair for anybody. Then there's the Steampunk Wings, which are kind of mechanical-looking, I thought I'd like them but I couldn't get used to the sounds they made. And the Fishron Wings, which are like thick solid fish fins instead of thin decorative ones, they're useful because you can breathe water while you're wearing them, but I didn't like the way they looked and I don't need to breathe water that often. Those are all the pairs I've actually tried. There's more that I just never bothered making. Well, and I made the four that I put together to get these, but I don't have spares of those lying around and I'd have to fight the Moon Lord another time or two to get the materials to make more."

"Another time or two besides the time you were in the middle of?"

"At least one more time besides the one I was in the middle of, and if flying out of the universe made the Moon Lord and all his useful goodies disappear or something, which I wouldn't put past Terraria to do, then I'd have to fight him at least one more time on top of that. I was really low on Moon-Lord-related materials before I started this fight, because I used up a lot of them making combined equipment like these wings and this armour and the Celestial Staff. Oh, I can make armour, too."

"Yeah? What's the armor do?"

"Does this cozy feeling stay?" asks Bella. "Or does it wear off?"

"Wonder if it'd be better than the set I have."

"It gets less noticeable with time but it doesn't go away, no," says Sable, passing Bella another Life Fruit. To Jann she says, "If the set you have isn't magic, a decent Terraria kit is probably better."

"It's a little magic. Lighter than it should be, easier to put on and take off, heals dents on its own."

"I could probably make you a Terraria set that would be more and better magic than that."

"Be useful in case the next time I have to rescue Milo from a dragon the dragon isn't so understanding."

"Milo has chronic smelling-like-a-princess disorder. It causes things to carry him off in situations where this would only be customary if he were a girl. One time a dragon got him and I had to go get him, but the dragon was pretty polite about it and let him go when I explained. I have a version of this story where I fought the beast to a standstill etcetera etcetera but that's mostly for other knights."

Sable giggles. "Oh. Well that's hilarious. So, Milo, have you decided if you want your very own set of candies?"

"I'm thinking yes, but I can wait until you're finished separating those ones for Bella."

Nom nom. "If this were a normal fruit it would make a great syrup for pancakes."

"I feel amazing!" says Stalas. "Can you tell if anything's happened to my weird blood problems?"

"...I'm not sure," she says thoughtfully. "I can definitely tell you're a proper amount of unnaturally healthy now, but your blood is still sparky and I wasn't looking closely enough before to tell if it's differently sparky, or a different amount of sparky, or anything."

Linya scans him.

"Well, your bruises are gone, genuine dwarf bone continues to be genuine dwarf bone, and the odd radiation signature from the lyrium is stronger and stabler."
