"What would you do? About the children. If you wouldn't bring them back and raise them alone."

" - oh, I'd have someone go after the fairy. If it were me. I don't know if that's - wise, I think by most definitions it isn't, but if he survives I'd have someone go find him and ask if he wants to apologize and if he dies I'd try to use magic to bring him back, there's so much of it going around..."

"Oh.

"He told me not to come back."

Nod. "I - I suggested you pray for advice because mine's not going to be very good. It is very sensible to avoid someone who told you not to come back. It is certainly the most sensible thing to do. But if I still loved him I'd send for him anyway, so that no one's - stuck with no way back from whatever the most foolish thing they ever said was."

"That makes sense.

"I think - he said it was important to him that he knew I would listen if he told me to do something. So I will."

Nod.

"I suppose I'll have to follow the fairy rules for the rest of my life. We weren't unentangled before he left. But - I can do that. I think."

"It sounds like it's very important for both of you."

"Yeah."

"Does he have a way to contact you, if he wants to?"

"Not that I know of."

Nod.

Eventually Elizabeth pulls them back to her demiplane.

All done?

Yes. Thank you.

Yeah. No problem.

Keep feeling the impulse to ask for confession or something but I'm, uh, not Catholic anymore and don't have much of an idea what I'd say if I were.

I think it would be hard to be Catholic and a god. But I wish you good luck with the things you're trying to do.

I didn't really mean to be a god. Exactly. But - thanks.

Of course. Do be very careful not to die.

I'll try. I already did it once. I wonder if the grim reaper would let me go indefinitely if I carried a bunch of his weird flowers around. ...I wonder if the grim reaper even appears if I die here. Should probably make a bunch of them anyway. Man, I should have made some for Rana before he left -

Does he have a way to contact anyone?

No. I - could have tried giving him something but he just seemed like he wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible. I gave him a luck stone in case it helped anything.

Nod.

She makes a bunch of death flowers. "Hey. Connor. If you die and see a dude in a black robe with a skull for a face you should give him one of these. Also don't die, but like, just in case."

"Will do."

"Cool. Kind of mad that I didn't give one to Rana before he left. I don't know whether it'd even have done anything for him, but - ugh."
