"Almost, almost. If Cam's taking a girl we can't leave immediately anyway."

Permalink

"I don't know if I'm taking a girl."

Permalink

"Well, if you are we can't leave immediately."

Permalink

"You can't be planning on leaving very immediately if you're even waiting for me to decide that, I would need a while to determine if I wanted to bring somebody on a multi-year space voyage for personal reasons."

Permalink

"More than a few years?"

Permalink

"How many is a few?"

Permalink

"I expect we'll want to leave in less than five years but I wouldn't object to ten if there's reason to wait."

Permalink

"That is long enough."

Permalink

"Thought so. We can do some acceleration tests in the interim."

Nod.

"How'd this date go?"

Permalink

"I like her."

Permalink

"Awwwww."

Elves get back to planning.

Cam is early to the gazebo for date three.

Girl! Fairy!

"Is that him is that Revelation?" says the fairy excitedly.

"Well, I certainly hope so," Rivka says. "I suppose perhaps he has an evil twin."

"Really?"

" - no."

"I know humans sometimes have twins -"

"Oh, yes, but they're not especially likely to be evil and also it'd be all over the news if Revelation had one."

"So humans definitely know if they have a twin? How, if they haven't met all the other humans -"

"Oh, twins are born at the same time, that's what makes them twins, it'd be terribly hard to miss."

Cam giggles. "I don't think I have a twin, my parents would have mentioned."

"It's really nice to meet you!" squeals the fairy excitedly. "There are enough summonses now and humans are great and you are great!"

Permalink

"Thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying summonses."

Permalink

"They're amazing! I've been to space!" 

"You could probably go again if you care to, we have a few hours," Rivka says. 

"Oooooh!" Off fairy zips.

Permalink

"...is he going to be able to find you again?"

Permalink

"I would be disinclined to count on it but I needn't, he wanted to meet you for payment so if he gets lost I will just send him home. I assume fairies do not frequently end up all turned around in Fairyland and unable to find civilization again, so probably his navigational skills put mine to shame even if they don't quite match his enthusiasm."

"Fairyland's approximately two-D."

Permalink

"That'd only help so much, though, you could still easily end up turned around."
