"Yes."

"Maybe he should change his name."

"I do not think that's possible."

"We could check whether we could resurrect fairies and whether it breaks entanglements and if so kill and raise you? But we haven't tried resurrecting anyone outside the local afterlife system yet."

"Is his grandmother dead, we could try her and see what happens."

"Yes, she is, how'd you know that -"

"The initial message mentioned alternate universe versions of you. I think you should avoid being too aware of any of the individual instances, though of course you know more than me about what level of information would prove dangerous."

"You are right and I would rather not. Okay. You can raise my grandmother if you'd like."

"What do you need to do that?" Cam asks Khemet.

"To have prepared True Resurrection, which I didn't. I guess I could try it with regular Resurrection since we'll have a body - how long ago did she die -"

"Measured in what, winters? Would've been twelve."

"That's fine, then. It still is possible that this'll fail and that it'd work fine with a True Resurrection."

"Should those of us who may also know her name be in a different room, or - what level of precaution is reasonable here -"

"Different room. No way to see or hear each other. Knowing the name of someone you've never interacted with shouldn't entangle them with you."

"That might include the person currently relaying for us. Who wants to take over -"

"I mean, it includes everyone who can relay efficiently, but I can relay inefficiently."

"Let's do that, then."

Out go Quendi, and also Annie just to be safe since she's unlikely to be able to forget things and might ever learn her girlfriend's grandfather's name.

Annie comes back to report that they can't open the doors to their guest rooms.

"You can't affect many artificial objects while you're fast. I don't fully understand the principle as it was explained to me."

"It's not a big deal, we can sit in the hall, but I thought it bore mentioning." She leaves again.

"Anything else to cover before I go ahead and make the body?"

"I don't think so."

"The fl- is it importantly a metaphor if I say the floor needs to be covered, equivocating between senses of 'cover', since he meant 'mention in conversation' and I mean 'put a tarp down' -"

"That's permitted."

Cam puts a tarp down, and then a body.
