Well, that's adorable.
What the hell is he going to do about this.

Pen giggles and puts her hands over her mouth.
There's a rock embedded in her arm and her bracelets look expensive.

There... is indeed a rock embedded in her forearm. He's not sure what to think of it. The bracelets are by comparison pretty mundane.

"Checking for more people," she mentions. "Not finding any ones of party people yet but maybe not remember them all, so many. Big space plant."

"A one Mommy in can't pronounce world do a party for when Jane come back and she get married! My Mommy do the marrying them. And party all in a plant she make. In space."

"Uh - sure, come inside, I'll get you something to write with and on."
The somethings both seem to be made of plastic, but the one makes marks on the other just fine anyway.

"Which one of these was recently married in a space plant?"

Pen taps "elf one". "Her ones Daddies are in two parts! One tall red one with wings but not angel wings. One a dragon."

"Yeah. Lot of magic for can't pronounce world." She toes her shoes off and wades a little into the lake.

And that seems a reasonable childhood activity. Of course, what does Miles know? Come on, Mother... he hopes she's not too busy to check her messages. This isn't exactly an emergency and he didn't advertise it as such, but it's not a situation he's going to be comfortable handling by himself indefinitely.

She doesn't go in far enough to get even her wingtips wet. "There a lot of daddies too. Maybe more if counting the soul animals. Shell Bell has one soul animal and the boy one has one too and also the owl one who had owl first of everything. But some daddies also, and! And when a one Daddy gets one, it can turn shapes."

"Are - ones of your father - unusually childish? Or does it not work that way?"
pen_is_wow
Giggle. "Dunno. My one Daddy not having any soul animal, and Jane broke for most of me being alive, so only met most party people at space plant party one time!"

"Because Jane does the teleportation between worlds. Right," he says. "That makes sense."
Could he have kept track of a fabrication this complicated when he was eight? Possibly. Something tells him that's not what's going on here, though.
