"Sean, it's good to see you again. How's Willow?" 

"She's doing okay. Thanks for seeing us on short notice, I know you guys get pretty busy." 

He drives.

"Pascale, maybe you could tell Sean more about Ellayania?" 

She can! She can fill up the whole rest of the drive with that.

"So if you don't know how you got here, does that mean someone else from your world could show up, too?" 

"It's possible, I guess? But no one anywhere has ever heard of a mirror-headed snake before."

"What if they're local? We have a lot of things that go bump in the night, and there might be more of them." 

"The druids hadn't heard of them either, right?"

"We haven't, no. If there are two worlds, I wouldn't be surprised if they came from yet another one." 

Back to learning about Ellaynia, then. 

And after they've all learned a lot about their new goddess, they arrive. 

It's very foggy. Pretty hard to see more than a couple feet in any direction.

"You can take Sean over to the Nemeton and do what you need to, Dr. Deaton. Don't worry about sound carrying or anything, Ellayania will baffle it. I'll stay here and stall his parents."

Dr. Deaton gets started. 

Sean's family arrives, and want to know what the god wants from them.

Well, the way gods work is by claiming land and making it part of themselves, this involves certain changes to the terrain as you can see. Now, at home this is not so much of a problem but people have different assumptions here, and land is already owned and people may object if Ellayania goes and changes it on them. Can they offer some advice about navigating the relevant laws?

The lawyer is happy to explain how Ellayania can Officially own her domain, and help her with the process of doing so. 

Her family is bored, but disinclined to wander or ask questions. 

Good, then they won't have to be discouraged from doing so. Questions questions gosh so helpful.

She should have gotten a time estimate from Deaton.

Eventually, Dr. Deaton and their latest problem make their way back. 

"Pascale, Sean wants a moment to speak with Ellayania. I assume anywhere in her domain will do?" 

"Yeah."

Dr. Deaton consults with the lawyer about whose jurisdiction it is, anyway? Does Ellayania want to be treated as her own government? 

Their test subject finds a spot out of earshot and calls out.

"Ellayania?"

A voice speaks as though just over his shoulder. "You need not shout. What would you ask of me?"

"I don't think my brother will take this. Thirst for blood isn't much of any upgrade over hunger for flesh. What are you going to do to him, if I can't convince him?" 

"Offer him flesh instead of blood. It is the killing I object to, not your desires themselves. You are not responsible for having been created this way. The druids are still working on a better solution."

"And where am I getting the flesh until they have one?"
