"No! Well, kind of but that's not what's important here."

"Uh-huh."

"I'm not making her do anything!"

"She's really not."

"Mm, if you say so."

May buries her face in Lianelle's shoulder. "What else do you most want to know about the modern day or magic or anything, I'd rather revisit the Lianelle's amnesia and wife and whatnot topic when I'm not backlashing."

"How would returning to the same universe as you two affect my ability to follow what was going on given the magical interference in belief forming?"

"I don't know, I haven't experimented with this."

"Can we do such an experiment before I make my decision?"

"Yes. Not right this second, when I go between worlds I wind up in the same geographical area and this isn't where I want to make a crossing into the other Toronto - I don't like doing magic in front of people who'll be veiled about it."

"That seems reasonable."

"I was able to roll back the most recent update to the veil, which covered recently-invented communication technology, so it might work to have a webpage that you can consult for what you need to know."

"What would I need to know?"

"Beyond that magic exists? I'm not sure."

"Does it come up in everyday life?"

"No, most people seem to be leading magic-uninfluenced lives most of the time."

"Including you two?"

"Sometimes we talk telepathically? Otherwise yeah. I've been going to a lot of concerts and museums and stuff. The Spring takes time to refill its mana to allow for stuff like resurrections. I used to use my powers more but Spring-wielding is way less replaceable than dungeoneering. - the hostile pocket dimensions that kidnap people are called dungeons."

"Oh. Does the Spring help with that?"

"It can, I'm going to get rid of some of the big ones. And most of my resurrections are probably going to be of espers who were doing good dungeoneering or support work before they died."

"What's good dungeoneering consist of?"

"Rescuing people from the dungeons and finding the dungeon core to kill it off so it doesn't come back later."

"Oh, sounds like something Lianelle would be good at?"

"She would be! It's really annoying for that among other reasons that I have to live in the spring world - I guess I could live there without Lianelle, I'd have to quit using my powers casually but I could do that - Lianelle, would you rather be set up here to do more dungeoning -"

"Not if you're not here, though I'd definitely like to do it if we have time when we visit."
