Ranata accepts the phone back. "I don't need to hear about it."

Zeviana snickers, some more. "Sorry, sorry, it's just hilarious."

"I really don't see why," says Ranata, lifting the cloud-pine up into the air again.

"Because it's my brother, pretty much. It's fun to give him grief."

"Perhaps I'd understand if I had grown up with a sibling."

"Yeah. It's like - the awkward's gone and you can just laugh at their reaction."

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

She giggles. "Sorry."

"No harm done."

"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?"

"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."

"Whatever suits."

"Also, flying's a blast!"

"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."

"We can't do that, so if you do it, it won't help convince witnesses."

"Heh, fair enough."

"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."

"Sure! You know where I haven't been yet? I haven't been to Finland."

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

"Finland it is. Oh, but it's chilly there - what are you going to do about the cold?"
