She gets on the computer and looks stuff up. In a few minutes she pops back and makes a pile of several of the same thing.

"Lenses of Situational Sight. The green ones do detect magic. Anyone who wants a pair can have them."

(She immediately takes a pair and starts playing with them.)

He'll take one.

"All right. If everybody's good, then I'll bring her back. Though I'm still going to take a break for a couple days. If anything urgent happens then you can still use a Sending."

And here's the new one.

She blinks at the sudden increase in people and then waves.

Permalink

...well at least the people she knows are still here.

"That's Fazil and Mahdi, that's Elizabeth, that's Alex and the Imrainai from hell - we should probably come up with a name for you that disambiguates you from some of the other ones, especially if 'Imrainai' is your real name, it causes problems if the fairies hear people's birth names."

" - it's my real name but it's not my birth name."

Permalink

"Oh. - I'm not actually sure which ones we have to keep from the fairies."

" - I don't know. I guess they might have records, especially if it was someone else on the ship. I'm not sure where they get the, uh, genetic material. I'm not - I'm not sure whoever it was would care very much, but - I guess maybe it'd be better to ask them if we could?"

Permalink

" - I'd rather. If we can.'

Permalink

Nod.

"What do we do if we find them?"

Permalink

" - ask what they'd need to be involved in the baby's life?"

Permalink

She looks kind of unhappy about this, but she nods.

"Forgive me if this is super rude, but, uh, how did you get pregnant without having any idea at all whose it is?"
