"Is there anything else that seems - really likely to be relevant to us?"

"That largely depends on whether you prefer to focus on your own world by yourselves or enlist our aid in any further matters or engage in this project of exploration. We are always happy to host another Lightning."

"Mm."

"Probably we'll wanna think it over. Once we've got a good idea of where we stand, and all."

"Reasonable. In the meantime, take this." She pulls a slim volume out from her chest. "A brief summary of who we are, our activities, powers, and plans." She offers it to Elieyha.

She takes it.

"Thanks. Again."

"You are quite welcome."

He glances to Elieyha, mostly just basking that she's here. "Wanna head out and think, or ask a bit more now?"

"Let's go back. For now."

"Okay."

"It's been good meeting you," Hisame says. "I can portal you back, though there's the question of how to keep in contact..."

"I suppose a messenger hawk won't work."

"I might leave a clone on your world, for a time, and you could contact her."

"Or you could take a piece of my land. I will be able to hear through it."

"I think most people would prefer to not have a clone of Hisame around, even if you're not the one they knew. No offense."

She laughs. "None taken. Ellayania's land is as convenient as anything."

"One for each of you then? Or just one?"

"I can get in contact with Elieyha pretty easily even if we split up, so just one, probably?"

"As you like." She produces a small statue in the shape of a stylized lightning bolt from her palm and gives it to Elieyha.

She takes it.

"It's a little creepy the way you do that."

"This body is only an avatar. All of my self is as one."

"Yeah. It - feels that way." Then, to Hisame, "So, portal? To the edge of Wind and Rivers maybe? And then we can head to Suna or wherever."

"Sure." And: portal.

Back home, then.
