"Great idea."

"Will do. Do you very much want to be called Doom, it's rather horrible."

"I don't care what I'm called."

Sigh.

"Anything else you'd like to ask us about while we're here?"

"Nothing comes to mind. Contemplating wishes?"

"Yeah. Not in a hurry to pick them, especially without having done much exploration branched off Gem's world."

"I think plans were in the works to start that after the wedding party."

"Yep.

Dragon, you want a ride back to where I got you or are you just going to read the teleportation spell and go yourself?"

"I'll read it over now, thanks."

"Okay. Drop a note in the mailbox or write to Cam if you need anything."

Bells depart. Loki swings by Elentári to see if her Lúthien wants to meet Joy.

"A version of me married a version of you?"

"Yep."

"Huh. Yeah, I'd like to meet her."

So Loki hops them over to Mîr.

"Hi?"

"Hi! Oh, wow, this is weird."

"Just a little. Um, hi, Gem."

"Hi. Wow, somehow it is weirder to have multiples of you than multiples of me."

"All the multiples of you don't look exactly like you, maybe that has something to do with it? Iobel kind of does but the rest are at least a little different. But us -"

She giggles again. "Bella's right, we are pretty!"

"I don't....think I'm attracted to girls? Is that usually the same across alternates?"

"Depends on the template. Bells are all over the map."

"But the gay Noldor are persistently so. I think people on Ardas might vary less? Anyway, I didn't know I liked girls until I realized I was really sad I couldn't marry Bella, so you might just not have noticed."

"I thought Loki was pretty great and a princess and a good friend but I wasn't ever sad I couldn't marry her."
