"There are people living there eventually but not with very much coverage."

“And I guess we already know that default conjugations for people in an area don’t find fairies, at least not while we are fast?”

"Or small, it could also be small."

“Might be good to know which because other worlds might not have paths.”

"They well might not, someone would probably have noticed."

"The conventional understanding of paths is that they're responsive to vegetation. I don't know if there's any of that on Titan."

"Not a speck. Only vegetation? How do the courts in caves work?"

"Some caves have vegetation in them. If you're really patient you can also plant vegetation and then wait for it to grow in a way that creates the paths you need. Areas that are pure rock with no plants won't typically have paths."

"Then we should not expect Titanic paths. Drat."

"We can probably check easily enough whether it's the smallness or the fastness that protects fairies from conjuration, some fairies are big at any given time."

"It only prevents naive conjuration, and I'm no longer a naive conjurer. I'm not actually sure how to parameterize as though I were one in this case."

"Huh, all right. I don't really know what you're doing, mentally, when you conjure things."

"Depends. In the case where naivete matters, it's like trying to get 'all the people in this geographical area at this time', and for some reason a naive demon trying to get that result doesn't conjure and notice any faeries, and I can."

"Huh." Shrug.

"Yup. Very weird, hard to figure out without more demons to test on."

"Can you do things like conjure for the results a conjuration would have for another person if they tried it, or is that too nested for the magic to work with?"

"This is not known to work - the cases it's been checked for involve private information of other kinds than 'faeries exist' but only generate distinguishable results if some private information is involved."

"Hmmm. All right. - any distant planets that do have vegetation?"

"Too distant to reasonably get to unless you can fastify spaceships and also want to spend a longass time on them."

"Not my first idea of an entertaining activity but we have a million years so - how long exactly?"

"We could go to Tau Ceti's system but it'd take about forty thousand years."

" - so, spaceship fast, any fairies on it slowed down."

"Do you have any reason to believe being on a fast vehicle while slow won't just paste you?"

"No. No one's tried changing whether they're fast while on something that's moving, not that I know of, except in the sense that the earth is moving. But you could test it safely enough with a big slow-moving wagon. I think."

"Since slowing down is gradual I guess you could."
