"And now that these options have occurred to you do you still want to take your parents on that vacation?"

"Yeah, a wish'd be better than wizardry because I don't have to worry about mana and I think they'd like it that I was using something they gave me, all the time."

"Okay. If I were you I'd present the wish idea as 'if you can't think of anything' rather than anything that seemed like a trade for your attention."

"I told Gem you'd have an idea for how to say it that wouldn't make them sad."

"Do you need more of a script than that?"

"Maybe a little bit?"

"Hm, how much do you normally talk to them about what-all's in the multiverse?"

"I told them about wanting to be a demon and about how all the grownup mes had kind of a hard time."

"So you can tell them about how wishes work and that you made your wish to get more demony, and make them some stuff if they want any stuff, and ask if they want to go see some of these places. - The excuse you were using for not having wings won't work for them in Hell, so you probably shouldn't bring them to inhabited Hell, incidentally."

"Yeah. Also they're not indestructible so if there was someone careless in Hell thinking they were demons they'd be dead."

"Yep."

"But I can show them everywhere else, everywhere else's pretty safe. And now that I can make things I can do the trick where I make my fingernails super long and protective."

"Yes you can. It's such a weird trick to think about. Fingernail shields."

"I should probably practice in case I ever need to do it in an emergency."

"Might be a good idea."

"Then I'll have giant fingernail bits to get rid of, though."

"Yep. This is why Hell is so tacky, people make stuff and then don't have anything to do with it so it gets left lying around."

"They used to have giant pits of fire!!"

"Which works on things that burn and not so well on things that don't!"

"I'll practice the fingernail trick in space, how about."

"Sounds like a plan."

He! Does that! Gleefully! He pops around to uninhabited moons and makes air and makes things and practices the fingernail trick and flops on Boots several giddy days later and says 'do you have a wishlist yet?"

"I have been writing down material objects as I think of them," she says. It's not a very long list, being a few days' worth of nonurgent nice-to-haves, but it is some things. "And you could take a look at the Davlian quarter's skyscraper design contest, they picked a winner yesterday."

He will totally make all of these things! He will make a skyscraper! That's a thing he can do, making skyscrapers. Eeeeeeee.

The Davlians appreciate their skyscraper!
