It has never done anything wrong. In fact, none of the air in the patch has, even when it has been in other patches. It's so innocent.

"Has anyone ever come to Elcenia without any Elcenian magic involved?"
"No, I don't think so," says Ehail. "Kamai is from Barashi and can't do transworld magic."

"I'm just wondering if there might be something weird going on that could make your spell do something unexpected. But I don't know your magic well enough to guess what kinds of things could do that."
"I'm not actually a very good wizard," says Ehail. "You can wait for a better one if you want."

"Well, do you know where to find someone who's more comfortable with strange fiddly magic stuff?"
"Rhysel knows a lot of very good wizards associated with the school," Ehail says. "But I wouldn't want to bother her this late without warning - she wouldn't mind, it's only she's got small children and they're hard to get to sleep and keep that way."

"That makes sense. Now that I've thought of weird things going wrong, I'm probably going to be kind of nervous about them until that gets figured out... you could talk to Rhysel tomorrow, maybe? If you don't mind me staying in your guest room a little longer than might be strictly necessary?"
"That's fine," Ehail says. "It's a school break, she should have most of the day available. You're welcome to the guest room. I'm going to start putting the little ones to bed."
"But mom!" protests Rithka. "I'm not tired! I want to talk to Sable!"
"Sable will be here in the morning."
"Aaaaargh."

Rithka is very cute. Ehail picks her up and carries her away over her very cute protests.
The house quiets.

Sable goes to bed in the guest room.
Even though a part of her thinks this is very silly, she sleeps in her armour. Something about being in a different strange world, or a house she didn't build herself, or having other people around—she can't convince herself to change into something cozier and less damage-reducing. It's pretty comfortable armour, though, so she gets to sleep okay.

The guest bed does not complain.
In the morning she will be able to smell cinnamony apples and scrambled eggs.

Food! Non-Terrarian food!
She goes to investigate, still wearing her armour and her coat but leaving her bag in the room again.

Ehail offers her a plate with some applesauce and some eggs. "Good morning."
The kids are already chowing down; it looks like Gyre's already left for work for the day.

"Good morning! Thank you!"
Eggs! Applesauce! Cinnamon! Sable is highly enthusiastic about this breakfast.

<Were you hungry? In Terraria?> asks Mallyn.

<I had a lot to eat but it was mostly a lot of all the same things,> she explains. <Rabbit. Duck. Blueberries. A few kinds of mushroom. Several kinds of fish. So it's nice to have something that isn't any of the same few things I've been eating for ten years. And your mom makes nice food.>
<You can have as much as you want,> Mallyn mentions. <Seconds and thirds if you like.>

Sable beams.
She does in fact politely ask for seconds after she finishes her first plate.

And she gets them! There is plenty of food.

What a nice family. What a nice breakfast. What nice applesauce. (She is really very pleased about the applesauce.)
Ehail feeds her baby, and puts him down for a nap, and then says that she can escort Sable to Rhysel's house whenever she'd like.
Ehail assigns Mallyn to keep an eye on everything and transfer to Rhysel's to get her if something he can't handle comes up, and then she holds out her hand to Sable. "I can teleport us there."
