Ari is patrolling the streets of scenic Vancouver! Well, actually he's just going to visit Peter, but he's keeping an eye out for monsters along the way. It's a nice night, monsters like ruining that kind of thing. The streets are more or less deserted, it being 2:00 AM on a Tuesday. Ari whistles cheerfully.
"Bad other worlds god would be bad. We have enough trouble with the ones we've got already."
"Some of them are. Some of them... not so much. And there's a bunch of things that are sort of gods that are just as bad. If your mommy has so many kinds of magic maybe there's something she could do to help out with them, that'd be nice."
"Mommies are so helping! Not yet doing of get rid the talking wizard god, but do get rid another one, also taking Downside, and lots lots things."
"Mm-hm. Are nice and so many. Almost twenty. Many also daddies, and others. Three Dars two Keziah two Ariel. Me only Pen anywhere yet though."
"That's a lot of mommy! I only had the one. Well, two, I guess, if you count the lady who had me. Apparently she was nice enough. But I think one was enough for me."
"Our cousinoid Elspeth her daddy only one him also only one Elspeth. Her daddy not at space plant party though."
Personally, he doesn't really understand that line of thought, but he understands that it could theoretically exist in people who are particularly committed to monogamy. Maybe.
Heterosexuality: another very strange concept. But again, one he's had time to get used to.
"Daddies are not having of problem. Neither Sherlocks and Tonies or the - the other one, forget name."
"Well, sensible people can be silly. I, for example, am very sensible about things like potentially meeting my alternate selves, but am extremely silly the rest of the time."
Ari finishes his coffee and stretches. "Do you want to start on getting you new clothes, or making your wings invisible, or what?"
"Well, no time like the present. The tailor I found lives about an hour away with the proper path through the Nevernever; shall we?"
"With me, yes. Long as you follow me. And follow my instructions carefully. But the path's pretty clear, there's nothing dangerous nearby and I can take care of any wandering monsters or anything that might show up."
"Like, if I tell you to turn around three times before going through a door, or we take six left turns in a row, or I suddenly shout that you have to hug a tree, I'm not just messing with you, it's all part of navigating the Nevernever."
