Ari shrugs, hugging Henry again. "Look, mate, I'm trying here."

"I'm missing something, I think. What's Synth?"

Hugs. "I will try not to be a drag."

"Synth is a kind of magic native to Elan, one of the worlds attached to Elsewhere. It does a kind of biological manipulation that affects a living being... essence. And one of the things it can do is basically put more essence in a living being. The result is the living being getting larger and stronger. That's why some of the people you saw are so tall."

"Ooh! I could be a beanpole!"

Henry snorts (almost apologetically, but that definitely are snort). "Gabe sure won't complain. Neither do I."

"Is there actually anything else we need to do, or should we just go get that set up? I'm rather in the mood for some victory sex, and Ari seems a bit too asthmatic for that right now."

"I don't think there is anything urgent or even under our purview since we are not politicians. And... uh, do you only have sex that is..." he waves his hands vaguely.

"What in the world is that hand gesture supposed to mean."

"Uh, destructive. I mean, you and Ari had pretty violent sex the other day."

"...Yes? That's a very weird question. It's like asking if you have sex with your dick."

"Apparently some people in their dimension like sex without pain. I know, I don't know."

Li-Ming raises her eyebrows. "Well isn't that special. No, I have sex like a normal person, with claws and teeth and occasionally lightning. I'll wait for Ari to be better, then."

"Well, our food is probably better for decadent celebration. Unless, you want to turn into a man and get on with Lorath. Or I guess Lorath could use magic to become attracted to you."

"Gah. I just know what Gabe would say to that."

"Share with the class. Gabe has the best suggestions."

"He would suggest a compromise where Lorath gets attracted to women and Li-Ming... temporarily... grows... bits."

Li-Ming gets a faraway look on her face as she contemplates this. "Hmm."

Lorath makes a face. "Not straight enough to think about that at length."

Thomas will be over here sporfling.

"At length? Interesting choice of word."

Li-Ming cackles.

Lorath pulls another face. "Can we just get Ari reenhanced and then talk about this nonsense?"

Henry pats Lorath on the back. "Sure, do we need to talk to anyone else in Sanctuary? I am not sure how one... books a Synth session, but I supposed someone in Elsewhere does."

"Nobody currently in Sanctuary, I don't think. We'll want to let Uncle know, but if I recall correctly he's still Elsewhere at the moment."
