"You could also just learn however oranges do it."

"Oh, if there's a nonmagical approach then that's great."

"I'm not orange, I don't know how good they are at obscure things."

"They'll be hard to lure to come visit until you clean up the place."

" - okay. I guess we can do that."

" - if you can, why don't you? The humans here really couldn't, though they could've done better than they were doing if they prioritized it more."

"We have magic for cleaning. It'd be expensive to use it on large areas but not impossible. We can at least keep the temples clean enough for you, which is where people'd go for healing."

<Can your people get me home?>

"Yes of course, sorry. We can work out the rest of this later. Uh, I don't know if it'll be a Plane Shift or a Teleport. Which one was it to get here?"

       "Plane Shift."

"Great, okay. Plane Shift lands you anywhere within five hundred miles of your destination, is there a location where that'd be safe to do?"

<You'll startle people considerably but they won't attack on sight if you surrender for quarantine.>

"How long's that?"

<Three days.>

"Okay. I don't want to go. You'll be able to spend the time productively, explaining things to them and so on?"

<Yes, it should work fine. I doubt they'll connect my appearance from Earth with human allies to Ismea's disappearance right away.>

Nod.

<We might not have been noticed missing yet. We didn't talk to people much and it was a slow day.>

Merenre nods to one of the people in his entourage. 

"Whenever you're ready, then."

<Thank you. I am looking forward to getting to know you all once the urgent matters have been dealt with.>

"Likewise. It's very tragic how you have to be a soldier."

They depart.

Isun and Ismat get into comparing their respective magic system; apparently Isun has a line of dishes that keep things hot or cold.

He looks inclined to convert his alts to his religion. They are listening intently and disputing various points on economic policy.

In Klimati's continued absence Kitty introduces all her alts to the concept of video games. She has a whole sackful.

Eventually he can make any sense of the world around him and starts reading peoples' minds. Merenre's security is wishing they were at home and trying to figure out the local ethnicity, it's distressing them slightly that Miranda and Karen would on their planet be from a different place than Aaron's family. Merenre is talking about his god and economics, which he seems to mentally slot as the same thing. Kantil is typing up notes. Dwarves are Dwarves. 

"Video games are the greatest invention since insurance," declares a Dwarf. "How does my character know all this stuff, is he reading the other characters' minds to get their information and that's being shown as this chart -"
