"I think they'll still be slow, if you do that."

"I think Milliways ignores the speed people were at in their home universe."

"Yeah, nobody here is, like, sped up, or whatever you guys did to her."

"Well, you could try to bring her kids here and if it doesn't speed them up I guess you can teleport them to a fairy ring somewhere and that'd do it."

Nod.

"I think we need some material from the right universe. And probably a location."

"I can point out the settlements on a map, if you had a map of our world. I'm not sure how to tell you exactly where in them they are right now, I don't even know that with certainty myself."

"Is there a time when you'd know their precise location? Say, when they're sleeping?"

"I'd have guesses. Better guesses for the oldest two than the middle one, who - I was supposed to be watching him and I disappeared this afternoon and I don't know who he'd be with now."

Nod.

"If you were fast your people could check a bunch of different locations with no trouble. Though you'd need different, slow teleporters to actually move the kids, probably."

"And to be fast we have to be magical fairy slaves."

"You have to be entangled with us temporarily. We don't have to keep you."

"I'm already entangled no matter what we do, right?"

"Yeah."

"That does not mean you have to do anything."

"Okay."

"I don't know how you all are imagining this works but if she wants to zip around our world and check where the kids are, sounds good to me."

"If you hurt her I'll kill you." He's not lying.

"Does your society actually think it's wrong to steal peoples' girls the first chance you get, because you haven't been acting like it -"

"This isn't my Karen. - also it's not - that's not the problem here. But I'll -"

"Yes, you've said."

...she's so curious about what her other self's relationship with this person was but now doesn't really seem like the time to ask.

"I do not actually want to interact with magical slavery people again. But it sounds like someone's gotta go."

"Not it."

"Unless you can teleport you'll have a hard time finding the kids in the night. Fairies don't like people passing through their territory at night without prior arrangements and you'd have a hard time carrying enough food to make it to where they are."

"Maybe we should talk to the people with the teleporters and see what our expected limitations are. Or something."
