"Witches all have two names," it occurs to Ranata to say. "We mostly use the first, unless we're being formal or distinguishing between two with the same first name, and then it's both. Ranata Ekamma; Isabella Amariah. Like that. What's your full name?"

"Alright," she says, taking the phone. She can roll with weird funky technology if necessary.
When Isabella picks up, she says, "Hi. Can you put my brother on the - phone? It's a phone, right? He forgot the translation spell."
She pauses, then bursts out laughing. "Am I interrupting something?" (giggle, giggle) "Were you in the middle of something important?" she adds, in a teasing sing-song tone. "Oh, fine. The translation spell? You forgot it."
"Well I was excited. Witches are cool! Can you teleport and put the spell on me? Pretty please with a cherry on top? Why not? Ugh, fine, you're a fucking lost cause, lovebird. Can I at least get like - instructions for how to do it myself, or me teleporting there or something? Okay, good."
Pause. "Were you having fun?" she teases. "Right, whatever. I'll get Ranata to do this again, later, so we can figure out what we do. Bye, Adarin! Have fun!"
She hands the phone back to Ranata. "They were busy," she says, snickering.

"At any rate, I don't have a sibling. I do have a daughter, and I don't need to hear it."

"Mhm. So! He said he's not going to teleport to me, but I can either teleport to him or get instructions for the spell over the phone."

"If you're going to do the first thing, is there a point to you spending hours on this cloud-pine with me?"
headunbowed
"Eh, I kind of don't like doing teleportation spells, they take ages to set up and it's a pain. I'll probably just poke him to get instructions."

"I certainly like it! You might have trouble passing as a witch if you can't fake the cloud-pine, I'm not sure."

"I actually can kinda fly for a little while, but not over long distances like this. Teleportation's more economic."

"I wish I could, though. I love to travel, I'd do it more if it didn't take hours or days to get places."

"Oh? Hm. Want to go on adventures to places later, then? I've never had a travel buddy. Promise I won't make it weird 'cause your daughter's dating my brother."

"Sure, why not? Ooh, and you already know about my translation spell, that was going to be a problem if I went with any of my existing travel friends to non-English-speaking countries and slipped up."

"So once I get the spell, we can just go anywhere, no problem. I might need witching lessons, that would be a good time for them. Either way, should be fun."

"I've never been anywhere here but what you've seen! So anything's fine. Finland's as good as any."
