She wishes on the third six. "There."

"Miracle-worker," suggests Ehail, when Lazarus says "dragon completion assistant".

"Dragon completion assistant might be more fun to say," he says contemplatively. "And less self-aggrandizing."

"You'll be called it anyway. It's a miracle. I'm a miracle."

"Well. Okay then."

Ehail sets about making the eight-pointed ones, slightly stiff but not complaining.

"At some convenient moment I can take us back to Lazarus's place," Libby mentions. "Or anywhere else, for that matter, but I'm not getting much of a tourist vibe from you."

"Not really," agrees Ehail. "I do think maybe when all the miracles have been handed out I might fly to the moon..."

"There's no particular reason not to show you our moon while you're here," she says. "If you're interested, and feel like sparing a six to take care of the atmosphere problem. I'm not sure what your situation is exactly, but around here, we need to breathe air and the moon doesn't have any."

"...Why wouldn't it have any?"

"Air collects around planets and places much smaller than planets aren't big enough to collect any. If you want a more complete and rigorous answer, I have an astrophysicist on call."

"I suppose that suffices. There must just be less air here in general, I suppose."

"Seems like a reasonable theory."

"It's not any trouble? Regardless of the no air thing?"

"Not at all. The slight amount of trouble it could potentially be would be covered if you gave me a six so I could arrange for the no air thing not to be a problem."

Ehail momentarily downshifts to six, hands over a six, and goes back to accumulating eights.

"Goodness," says Lazarus. "That's certainly comprehensive. Why not?"

Ehail nods.

"So tell me about your world," Libby suggests. "Right now all I know is that it has four houses full of most-of-dragons, and a moon with atmosphere."

"Most people aren't dragons or - shrens, that's the word for the most-of-dragons - most people are other things instead. There's a very high dragon infant mortality rate and they intermarry a lot. There's humans, like you, and some other things. Um. There's air everywhere? If that's your planet, it looks round from here; ours is square. There are three major continents on it unless you count Mekand in which case there are four."

"That's our planet," Libby confirms. "Earth. It's a sphere, plus details. All of the planets in this universe are spheres with details, as far as I know."

"Oh. I suppose that would work all right as long as they're big enough. And there's several kinds of magic. I do wizardry, which anybody can learn - from there, anyway, I don't know if you could. And some people are born lights, or sorcerers, or with the potential to become mages, and some people learn witchcraft, and there are species that can do specific kinds of magic too. Like dragons and what we do."
