"Well, that's useful. We'll see, I suppose."

"Mmhm. And the mommies put a Jane here probably!"

"I don't know what the result of that would be."

"Then can coming going here easy."

"Well, yes, but what would they do with the ability to get here easily? Just visit for tea and crumpets? Attempt to take over the world? Spruce up the place with magic and keep everything tidy? Invade?"

Pen giggles. "Sprucing! Isn't any one Mommy here to giving presents for doing it herself so maybe not as much."

"I see," he says. "Is there a good example of a world they spruced that I could look at?"

"All their ones but some have going longer than others. Ummmmmm Pattern had so long a time in Origin doing things while Jane break."

"What are the identifying characteristics of Pattern and Origin?"

"I will look for an empire on a ringed planet," he says. "Later, I mean. Not now. One thing at a time, I think."

"'Kay."

"Okay."

"Would you like to pick your room?"

"Mmkay. Need big bed for wings." Wingflap.

She is a small angel. She flops experimentally on the bed. "Okay," she says.

"Excellent. Tea's ready, as well."

"Tea!" She hops up.

"Sort of. Very intellectual, if you want to do anything with other planes at all. You can use brute force, but that costs more, whereas a more clever, mathy solution costs less. For already expensive stuff like planar transpotation... Brute force is somewhat impossible without a large group of mages."

Nod nod.
