She's entitled to her opinion. Especially if she keeps having such good ones.

It's important to be correct in these things.

Elatra is not entirely convinced she can be as confident as Glint. Perhaps a closer, more personal inspection is warranted?

And thorough testing! You can't be a mad scientist if you don't test things, after all.

Nor, indeed, a wizard of any sanity level.

They should test kissing. For a general skills survey, of course.

Mm, yes. Thoroughly.

Glint summons a pad of paper and makes very complimentary notes on Elatra's kissing abilities.

That's adorable.

Good note taking is a corner stone of science! Of course, she has to repeat these experiments a few times. Surely Elatra understands.

Well of course. If a result can't be replicated, it has very little value.

And these experiments are potentially very high value, after all.

They are already beginning to pay for themselves, in fact.

An important quality for experiments to have!

Lovely.

Elsewhere, Glint's second body has returned to the Shivering Isles with some of Ellayania.

Ellayania can spread from whatever corner is convenient for Glint.

The residents of Dementia-of-old seem like they'll appreciate the aesthetic most, and it's important to have a refuge for them away from Glint's more colorful mind.

Once Ellayania's soil has been dropped, she rapidly expands to claim several hundred square feet. The air becomes perceptibly cooler and a light mist begins to rise.

And Ellayania's body appears.

"Ordinarily I would not expand so fast, but I find Hisame's chakra quite useful."

"Seems like the sort of thing that would be, yeah. And I can spread the word that I endorse worship of you, and people can come here if they want to give you offerings and get blessings. Want help setting up a temple or shrine or something?"

"A small shrine is no difficulty." One begins to form out of the ground. "Are there any local architectural customs for this sort of thing?"

"The Daedric Princes all have different ones, and I don't think you wanna look like an Imperial temple to the Divines. I still need to figure out what I'm doing to replace the old Sheogorath's temple... I'm probably gonna go for, like, lots of little hidden places, and lots of little hidden details - I imagine the kind of people who live here would like that?"

"I think I can work with that."

"Heh, yeah - your whole sort of person's really creative. It's nice."
