"We should. Could you get us the door?"

Permalink

"Okay..."

Heri does that. And under the Henries instruction, he stands by as one of them grow a lattice of crystal over the wall in their bedroom.

This is more of a cupboard than a bedroom, but whatever. Soon enough they have an onyx-crystal covered wall, and then that onyx retracts and shrinks until they have a hole in the wall with an onyx rim.

One Henry goes through while the other stands guard.

They can hear Heri's aunt scream all the way into the bar. And it's cut off abruptly.

Then after a minute, one Henry is dragging and pushing a woman through Miliways' door and the other is patching the hole in the wall, as the crystal receeds the wall returns to it's configuration.

Some eyebrows are raised at all this fuss. "Perhaps we should have sent one of the children in to get her," he says, a bit too late. 

Permalink

Yep. Angel will step forward to see if she can help with... all of that.

"Mom! It's alright." Exclaims Kenta dashing over his mother. 

"Ken! What madness is this?" She hugs him and looks around her, scared.

"This place is called Milliways and I found it after waking up."

 

Permalink

"Milliways is a bar between worlds," Angel explains. "Sometimes a door will lead here instead of where you expect it to. Your son and nephew found a door to it, and asked us to evacuate you from Amenta."

"Other worlds don't believe in... hereditary pollution, most relevantly," Remi tells her tiredly from his spot closer to the table. 

Permalink

Tobir is watching her suspiciously from Remi's side. No matter how charitable he's gonna try to be, she did tell Heri he was dead.

She passes out.

Kenta barely manages to keep her from hitting the ground...

Permalink

"Wind and moon make her feather light!"

And suddenly Kenta can easily support her now.

Permalink

There's a moment of silence. 

"...Well then." 

Permalink

"Yes," Angel agrees, approaching Kenta and his mother. "Does she do this often?" She asks Kenta, checking the woman over briefly. 

Permalink

"Nice catch," Alex murmurs to Felix. 

Permalink

"She does not." Kenta says sullen.

Permalink

"Thanks. I don't think I mentioned that i could do that?" He tells Alex. "And we should take her to the infirmary." To Kenta. "She will be fine.

Permalink

"We should," she agrees. "Have you got her?" She asks Kenta. She'll help if not, but either way they can head to the infirmiry to get his mother checked over. 

Permalink

"Versatile magic, you said. Definitely more useful than anything I know about in our world."

Permalink

"Yes, it is. But it is a bit complicated and even dangerous to fully master."

Permalink

"She is, like, super-light now." They move to the infirmiry quite easily.

Permalink

Where a lady in elaborate robes looks her over and determines that she will be fine - she was overwhelmed, and should wake up in her own time, though she could speed the process along if they'd like. 

Permalink

"Is your magic learnable by people from other worlds?"

Permalink

"Largely not, it is mostly hereditary, there is a part of it that uses rune symbols that draw energy from the environment, but I don't know it and it's extremely complicated and a single mistake can be deadly or unfixable and weird. I don't think it's worth trying in other worlds."

Permalink

Kenta looks at his mother and shrugs. "Let her sleep? I don't know how to calm her down if she still nervous after waking up." He still can't believe, she is the sort of person you see in shows that just faints when things get too weird.

Permalink

Alright, they can move her to one of the beds in here, then, if they'd like. They're welcome to wait with her, as well. The healer will just be over here, helping another patient.
