"All right. - does the baby need things. Should I send the baby back."

"I guess probably you should send the baby back," says the one holding the baby regretfully. 

"I'm supposed to have a normal healthy childhood without any stressors," says the baby sadly.

Whatever this situation is it is really weird but she's really thinking about too many other things to want to follow up about the bizarre fairydad elf clone baby.

"Okay," she says, and pops the baby back. 

She flies off to make several miles of landscape imitating the planet where the relevant fairydad elf was living.

It looks spectacularly pretty.

That's good, because she has no idea how to get rid of it. Here demiplane is maybe going to end up being kind of aesthetically confused.

She circles around and adds outhouses near the area with all the yurts, and then adds an outhouse in the general vicinity of the houses, and then lands by Korva and Hagan. 

She checks whether there's anyone besides them and Cecelia obviously in earshot.

There is not.

"Hi. I am sure you guys are also having a terrible day.

"I don't really know what to say about that except that, like, I'm really sorry and I did check on your fairy and he's fast and I think I might contact him again in a couple hundred years when his misfortune has worn off and see if he still super definitely never wants to talk to you again."

Nodnod.

"Almost completely unrelatedly I need advice. From someone... slightly older than me. Such as you people."

"Well all of us have existed for a while without dying so we're super qualified here."

"Okay.

"I really wanna marry Connor. Normally I would say that this is stupid and we should wait until we're proper adults, except that as far as I can tell none of the usual reasons for that actually apply? He's already not gonna leave. I can support us and nearly arbitrary numbers of people on conjured snacks. And I think it's - bad, to keep going on wishing I could have, like, adult support structures while fighting gods and stuff, while also not being able to have any normal teenage support structures. You know? But I kind of don't want to do it without any sort of wedding, and I'd feel really stupid if literally everyone around here thought I was being an idiot while I did it, but I'm also not sure that 'everyone will think I'm an idiot' is a very good reason to wait two years if I want it sooner than that and would maybe benefit a lot from it? And - I guess I wanted to talk to someone about whether it was actually idiotic or whether any of that made sense."

"How old are you."

"Either eighteen or nineteen? I kind of lost track when I was in fairyland."

"And how long have you known Connor."

"Between two and three years, I think? Maybe a little longer but I didn't know him very well before he moved into my house."

"And he's been helping you raise your kids?"

"Yup, he's great with them."

"You're very certain you won't want to leave him?"

"Maybe if he becomes a serial killer or something?"

"Okay then. Marry him."

" - really?"

"Most people shouldn't get married at eighteen. You're not most people. You've taken care of kids and lived with your boyfriend for two years and you're trying to put an end to hell. If marrying the person you're in love with and who you've worked with for years will help you do that, then I think you should do it."

"Huh."

She looks at Hagan.

"Is he competent to get married. Like, can he pull his weight, and also is he going to be upset in a million years that he never tried anything."

"I don't think he's going to be upset? Like, in a million years he might want to go explore other worlds by himself ever, but I think that's fine? As long as he comes back after. And he will. And I think he can pull his weight. Like, pulling his weight is going to look different for him than for most people, because I can make arbitrary material objects and therefore don't really need a lot of material support, but - he's been watching my niece for years. He does half the chores and when we had jobs he brought in almost half the income, and now that I'm trying to be a goddess he has good ideas for things and is really important for - I dunno, emotional regulation. That's part of why waiting feels dumb, right, I know I can run a house and a life with him, I've been doing it. Since I was sixteen."
