"I did not know it was possible to be this comfortable in the heat of summer."

"Air conditioning is great. We can also control the humidity and if any of you are allergic to any local pollens they'll be filtered out on the way into the house."

"None of us get hay fever. That can vary by region?" 

Permalink

"Oh yes. Different species of hay."

"We'll let you know."

Wag wag wag. "Lucy, your room's the only one that has to be yours, I made everything with clearance for Wilbur since the floors worked out better that way -" He shows Lucy to her room. It is large and has her art board up.

Permalink

Awesome.

It also has her soft giant bed, though her food bathtub is absent, perhaps in the dining room instead. "Anything else you want in here?"

"My blanket, please, I don't need it for the temperature but the texture is very good."

Blanket folded up at the foot of the giant bed.

"Thanks!" she says, pulling the blanket over her and returning to her schoolwork.

"No problem!"

He goes and fields room decor requests from Wilbur, Lavinia, Lavinia's dad, and Benjamin Franklin.

Ben Franklin and Lavinia's dad want books. Lavinia would like a map of their surroundings. Wilbur would like directions to somewhere he can post letters, and a vehicle if that's far enough away.

"Do you know how to drive?"

"I mean, I can get you a car that drives itself but they're all trained on modern infrastructure and most of them rely heavily on global positioning satellites that there aren't any of here so you will need to do at least some of the work and yeah it's hard if you don't like crashing into things at forty miles an hour."

"I would rather not empirically find out what kind of daeva I would be so soon, so yes, I'd say I like that." 

Permalink

"As I would have expected. I know how to drive. I'd suggest a bicycle but I'm not sure how those'd work with your knees."

Permalink

"I...expect I could manage...but I'm less sure I could manage without how my knees work becoming visible." 

Permalink

"Yeah. Car it is. I can get you an offroad model and a teaching program and it should be able to handle a 1928 road adequately and just don't go too fast if there's anything around. Ask me if you've got questions."

Permalink

"How fast is too fast?" 

Permalink

"I will get you a graph of survival data at various speeds of collision. Pick your own inflection point and mind that mind that we don't know if the turning into a daeva thing works for people here at all, let alone for your species varietal, and we don't know if the resurrection spell will work on you either."

Permalink

Grimace. "I don't intend to test any of the various hypotheses regarding my death, I promise."

Graph. Driving tutorial. Car with the guts of a self-piloting 2157 model and the body of an inoffensive Tin Lizzie.

Great. What is a good speed to not die, he'll go with that.
