"It's not that we don't have time, we've got oodles of time, it's that me spending time here trades off against refilling the Spring. We might be able to set something up where you can do a quick one while I'm visiting my folks and Cricket anyway, though. Not while I'm doing a resurrection though since I need guiding then."

"That sounds fun!"

"Why don't you visit here and do them without May?"

"It wouldn't be costly to drop you off, yeah."

"I don't think the champion bond would stretch that far?"

"I guess we have not actually... tried it..."

"We can - my guess is it won't but I could be wrong?"

"If it doesn't what happens?"

"I don't know."

"Maybe an experiment best saved for after I resurrect Tomorrowgirl then. - precog esper."

Nod!

Mhm.

"- would there be a place for me to stay if I want to settle on my home world after the extent of the influence of magic on my thinking is determined?"

"I have enough money to spot you rent for a while."

"And food? Or a recommendation of occupations I might find feasible even with my skills rather out of date?"

"Yes, and food - food is less expensive than rent these days. I'm not sure what you'd be best at in the modern day but we can certainly go over possibilities."

"That might be helpful."

"So any complaints about the resurrection itself, or does that seem to have worked fine?"

"As far as I can tell it worked fine."

"Glad to hear it. And it sounds like your language updates came through. - my backlash makes me talkative, I have to be talking about something but if there is a topic that would be more useful please feel free to steer me."

"- I suppose I'm curious how the future differs from the past."

"We eradicated smallpox! It's easy to talk to people from across the globe and not that hard to travel there in person either! Literacy is near-universal in rich countries and almost every baby born reaches adulthood. Religiosity is down, human beings have nonmagically walked on the moon, effective contraception exists, horses are obsolete, and global trade has done amazing things for most every sector of the economy but right now all the examples I'm thinking of are food."

"Oh. Well that all sounds extremely good."

"They also figured out how to make much softer blankets, which isn't nearly as important but it's still very good!"

"You're cute," May accuses her.

"So are you!" Kiss.
