"Oh, yes, all multiples. You're having triplets, then? Congrats." She looks over at the other woman, "Bonuses vary," she tells her, "But everyone gets the basics."

Brandon comes back in time to hear the latter question. "Time seems to be paused or moving so slowly as makes no difference," he informs the table, before adding to Lyra's explanation. "Basics are peak human condition, sympathetic healing between twins - or triplets, or however many - multiples can talk to each other over any distance... I'm missing something, what am I missing?" 

"Conjoined twins get their own bodies?" Lyra offers. "Bonuses can be pretty much anything - well, no mind reading or things like it, and I've never heard of a copying power, but outside that the sky's not even a limit."

"Conjoined twins?"

"It's a rare condition. That makes the twins bodies not separate properly."

Isteri - who is in fact with multiplets right now - makes a face. "Gah. Well, do you have any idea if the magic is shareable? Or it only works for your species?"

"No idea. We're not even sure where it came from. A few decades ago, twins - multiples -  just started manifesting powers at 16." 

"What age are you? And what age does your species reaches adulthood?"

"I'm twenty. Legal adulthood in my country is 18 or 19, but opinions vary. I think I read somewhere that we mostly stop growing around 25." 

"Average life expectancy is around 75, I think?" Brandon adds. "Anyway, 16 is like... the earliest adult age. Though I think people might consider 14-year-olds adults in some ways in some places, too."

Isteri frowns thoughtfully. "It sounds like you spend less time as adults than we do... Do the powers ever have negative side effects? Making people age faster or something?"

"I've never heard of anything like that. If you stretch yourself too far you can get tired or maybe strain yourself somehow, but that's about the extent of negative effects."

Isteri nods, and after some math they figure that their years are four times shorter and humans live half as much. "So, we are here mostly to see what kind of magics we may get. And in at least one world we know to have magic that transfers over when you go in there. Would you be willing to see if your magic can be shared?"

They share a look, and then both nod, "I don't see why not," Lyra says, "You just want to step out into our world for a bit to see if it transfers? Though, I'm not sure how you're going to tell if it has or not." 

"Patiri, the Green that your alt is fetching has a thing that detects magic. Oh, and I am with triplets, I figure if your magic is detectable at all it will show them becoming magical. Oh, and she herself is with twins."

Blink, "Really. Huh. Do you know who the father is?" 

Lia comes through the door to the upstairs rooms at this moment, pausing when she recognizes the alt of her older brother - and, after a moment, herself. 

"I wonder when we'll run into an alt of you?" She comments to Patiri, before making her way over to the table. 

"You know. I still have no idea how I would react."

"His name is Arel- oh, she can explain it better."

"I've mostly been running on stubbornness for the past few hours. This is all still very strange." 

Still, she heads over to the table.

"Arel? What about him? Hi," she adds, "Liarae Aradin."

"Lyra Starr, and my twin brother, Brandon. I was asking about your children's father. I haven't met anyone I'd want to have kids with, myself."

"It wasn't entirely intentional. He's not in the picture. I have an older brother named Adon, who looks just like you," she adds to Brandon.

"Really! Not a twin?" 

"No, I'm three years younger than he is. Do you... have? An Asara and Ibrae?"

"Asara and - oh, I suppose Chère - Shera - and Braeden? My girlfriends, yes. They're getting married in a few months," he adds, face brightening.
