"Apparently you were fondly remembered?"

"Or at least succeeded in imparting a political sense which he then saw fit to pass on to his children - who'd refuse anything to the stranger who says 'you adopted my father' -"

Permalink

"Lots of people."

Permalink

"Not many Elves."

Permalink

"Well, you, apparently."

Permalink

"We'll write him."

Permalink

Nod.

"How was your date?"

Permalink

"She's nice! I was not overwhelmed with chemistry but if the other two are less interesting I'll see her again."

Permalink

Elves seem to be in a singing mood.

Permalink

Ooh.

If he's following closely it's about the adopted/abducted kids.

Is it informative?

Permalink

It's not written to be, especially, but it contains information. They both founded wildly successful thriving kingdoms; he is clearly very proud of that.

Cam listens. Elves are so good at singing.

The next day Cam has a date with Claire! She is very excited to see him and bounces up and down; her fairy glances at her alarmedly as if unsure if she needs stabilizing.

Permalink

Cam laughs. "Hi, it's nice to meet you!"

Permalink

"Nice to meet you too. You can go, Xia, I am not going to fall over unless he secretly coated the gazebo with something slippery and in that case it'd be a very informative fall." Fairy zooms.

Permalink

"I'd be likelier than you to trip, the wings help a little but I have really lousy balance."

"Becoming a daeva doesn't fix, like, health problem stuff? Are there nearsighted daeva?"

Permalink

"It fixes some things but not my thing. Nearsightedness is sort of a 'not very' - daeva don't all have 20/20 as a floor, but I've never seen one who needed glasses."

Permalink

"What happens to people who die at like eighty, do we know yet -"

Permalink

"We do! There were some summoners pre-Revelation, and anyway the same thing happens to Limboites, you show up somewhere in like your twenties or thirties, high rate of self-reported satisfaction with the age."

Permalink

"Huh. That's convenient. A lot of things about all the afterlives are convenient, really."

Permalink

"Yeah. Limbo's disappointing, but in an impoverished way, not a mean way."
