Yeah. They should.

This is still a little complicated because to get married you have to, like, be taken seriously as an adult who can make commitments? And even though she's really eighteen she's pretty sure she's still legally seventeen. And apart from the laws there's just - people don't take teenagers wanting to get married very seriously? But maybe this has something to do with how most teenagers have not spent two years running a household and raising kids. That part is making it kind of hard for her to not take herself seriously about this.

Most people don't like treating children like people and it's not really anything to do with children.

Permalink

She feels like the rules about not letting children get married make sense? She's just.... not sure whether they're relevantly children anymore.

Probably if it was important to them to do it right they could stand to wait another year before they made it all official, though. She guesses. This feels like kind of a long time to wait on doing any sex things but maybe she only feels like that at all because she's still kind of young and immature or something.

Permalink

Well lots people find it hard to go a long time without doing sex things, he's pretty sure, so it can't be just that.

Permalink

But if she were serious and sensible and mature and able to do hard things then she probably wouldn't be that hesitant to do it.

She's not really sure whether she endorses this thought process or if it's kind of ridiculous. But - she does kind of want to be married before they have sex, and she does kind of feel like you're not doing marriage right that you can't tell everybody that you are married. So maybe it is actually hard but she prefers to wait about it anyway?

That sounds like an inconvenient set of things to want to do but he doesn't mind especially. Except that now that he's thinking about sex he wants her but this is not the end of the world or anything.

Permalink

Snuggle. She's sorry for being inconvenient.

Permalink

He loves her even though sometimes she is not convenient!

Permalink

Oh good. 

(Maybe they can do the spell thing before they're old enough to get married. Possibly. Since they can do that now. Although they can't do it right now because she shouldn't go back to her demiplane to make rings of three wishes for a while.)

Permalink

That'd be fun. She should probably not leave her demiplane without a ring of three wishes for emergencies, really.

Permalink

That's possible. She maybe should have thought about that. Maybe she can start doing that the next time she goes back.

Permalink

In the meantime they had a plan. Sleep. And then TV and games.

Permalink

They did! It'll be so great. She's a fan of being allowed to do stuff like that again. And this time she can do them with him.

There are way too many problems in the world but her own personal life is really really good.

Permalink

That's because she is really really good.

Permalink

She feels like it has more to do with him and her family and her magic and with being extraordinarily lucky. But she's very glad he feels like that.

And in the demiplane, Imrainai Tellari appears with Starfarer's father.

She looks around and does not say anything, looking kind of like she is unsure whether she's allowed to do anything besides be as small and inoffensive as possible.

" - weird. Do you know if the ability to make these is learnable, everyone could have one as their house and it'd be ridiculously convenient -" He pulls a blade of grass out of the ground and bites down on it.

Permalink

The demiplane does not have edible grass.

"The person who made it can't give other people the power yet. I don't think. I guess she might be able to eventually? She kind of seems to believe that she can do anything she wants eventually."

Permalink

"Huh. Is there some kind of translation effect in place here?"

Permalink

" - yeah. Uh, it can be turned off but we need Elizabeth to be here for that and I don't think she wants to be here while - you - are until we have a better idea what's going on. It doesn't work on writing."

Permalink

"Well, I'm not in a hurry. Is there a place for Imrainai to sleep, I think that's our first order of business here."

Permalink

"There's..." she glances at Hagan. "Fazil and Mahdi's house is free right now, I think?"

Permalink

"Yeah, it is. We should've set one up for you but that'll work."

Permalink

"So you're already going by Imrainai?"

Permalink

- nod. "It's my name."
