Cam is dipping a grilled cheese sandwich into a bowl of tomato soup when he feels the summons. He goes ahead and grabs it. Doesn't even drop the sandwich.
"I don't think so. There's days, and weather in the form of occasional mildly hazardous rain, but no seasons."
"You seem very psychologically healthy for what amounts to eight years in solitary, gratz."
"You're welcome. I have a question. By what mechanism are the monsters around here harmful? I am indestructible with respect to all normal forms of harm but if they tend to do magic I might have trouble and I'd like to know in advance."
"They mostly just do normal things like try to eat you, but some of them are weird and do weird things. I couldn't give you a list off the top of my head."
"If you can mention it whenever a weird-things sort of monster comes to mind, or tries to do weird things to us, do tell."
There are three more patches of Crimson on the island, and then she circles the island from the air to make sure, and then she hovers next to Cam and says satisfiedly, "Done in time to make it home by sunset. This way. The island I live on is two north and two west from here."
When they reach the corner of the haze, she turns due north and flies into the north wall of haze head-on.
Everything is sort of blue-grey and misty for a few seconds, and then he emerges from the south wall of a new square. There's an island in the middle. Sable, hovering, waves to him and flies into the west wall.
"I flew into a corner once and it was hazy much longer than normal," she says. "A few minutes or something. I came out of it okay, but I don't do that anymore. I would've warned you if I'd thought of it, but it's just a habit by now, and I guess you figured I had reasons."
"I don't wanna get lost, fail to meet up with you again, and only have mindless basement-dwellers to talk to. ...Basement-dwellers is one of the colloquialisms for a demon-made human body, which cannot think."
"Because you keep them in the basement so they don't disturb your guests, if for whatever reason you want to have one or more mindless human bodies around," says Cam. "I don't have a basement or any bodies to put into it at home, myself, but that's the reasoning."
