"Some of 'em aren't. It's all right, we can patch it up."

Cling. "Yeah. Yeah. Why am I crying, I didn't mean to."

"It's not uncommon when very emotional and is in fact usually involuntary."

"I missed you."

Squeeze. "I missed you too."

Cling.

All the hug.

"What would you have done."

"I'm an adult with different powers, how is that a useful question?"

"If you had mine I mean."

"I would've done the same thing with Behemoth. Finding a nice local to trust was a good idea, I would have needed that less urgently and might have shopped around more before picking one but I think you did pretty good anyway..."

"Legend is nice. He'll be glad we saved the world."

"Whenever you're ready to go back I would love to come along and meet all these people."

Nod. "I'm ready. ...maybe in a bit actually."

"There's no rush. Now that we have a way there somebody else can fetch the Space Elves and do anything else that shouldn't wait."

"Telling Cauldron they can pick less evil goals, probably. Figuring out how powers work - stopping all the other genocide aliens if any of them are close to done - they wipe out whole neighborhoods and the neighborhoods are unusually dense or something -"

"All of that."

Cling. "I'm so glad there are people who aren't mes running things I'd be so miserable if it had to be mes for some reason."

Hug hug.

"Can we go somewhere really pretty."

"Sure. Anywhere in particular?"

Wing-shrug.

Invisibility and a nice Heaven city all glowing and gorgeous.

Small smile. "Haven't been here - where is it -"

"It's called Ludmari."
