The Keres has a clouded leopard.

And Eliana has summoned a small desert lion.

"Great! Do you guys wanna keep learning more spells, or just work on what you've got now?"

"Learning spells is easier with a larger magicka capacity, yes? I think we should work with what we have."

"Yeah. I can supply you guys with potions if you wanna practice more - refilling your magicka capacity quickly or slowly doesn't matter for growing it - but I'll need to make more soon. Or, like, figure out how to use my spooky godly powers to make a magicka potion river."

"Don't forget to coordinate with Ellayania if you put one here."

"Can only edit the Shivering Isles, sadly. Though I should ask her if she wants a bit of her in my Realm..."

"If you wouldn't mind having me, of course," the air says in Glint's ear.

"I wouldn't mind at all," she says back.

"Then I would be delighted."

"Awesome! And feel free to remind me if it looks like I'm forgetting."

"I will."

Heeee, stuff's going so well.

If no one else has magic questions for her, she can go back to magic nerding at Elatra, or arranging things with her Realm, or diplomacy...

She actually kind of has a lot to do, whoops.

Elatra is available for flirting via magic nerdery.

Best kind of flirting, really.

Glint has a moment of inspiration in the middle of the flirting, concentrates, and makes a second her.

"Hah! So that's how they do it..."

"A clone?"

"A me!" they say together. "Kind of got my attention on both? Split," one says. "Probably could manage to not have my whole attention on one if I had to," says the other. "Useful for having conversations with myself," they both say.

And then, from the original body: "Daedric Princes can be in a lot of places at once, kind of, just attention-wise? And I need to figure out how to do that if I'm gonna get everything done, and then how to not do that so I can take a break."

"You do have rather a lot on your plate at the moment."

"Yeah. Madness thrives when busy, though."

"Conveniently enough."

"It'll probably take me a bit to figure out more, but, yeah, now spending time with you doesn't trade off against anything! Which is awesome, since you're great."

"I am, it is true."

That sounds like a cue to list Elatra's many virtues! With a stab at poetry, even, which is basically the same sort of thing as madness.

How delightful.

Glint's pretty sure Elatra's the delightful one.
