"No more so than when it's in your body - but some people have a harder time defending locations far away from them, and it's most effective if you hide your soul's seat."

"I see."

"I have mine hidden in its own little universe, more trapped than the worst hell in the multiverse, of course."

"I assume it's fairly safe there."

"It has been for millennia."

"I don't think I know any places quite so secure. Somewhere anonymous in interstellar space, perhaps, though that would be obviated by objective-based teleportation."

"There's more methods of interdimensional travel than just mine, and mine is teachable."

"That is convenient."

"And the amount of mayhem you could unleash given time seems quite worth even some inconvenience."

Kiss!

Kiss!!!

"Where do we start?"

"Depends on how much control you want to give me over the process, really... If I'm assisting, the process will be a bit different than if you want to learn to do it yourself."

"I don't feel in any imminent danger, so I'd like to learn it myself."

"Sensible enough. It'll be safer, that way - and if something surprising happens, I can just resurrect you."

"So glad you approve."

Kiss. "I like independent girls, I must admit."

"And I," kiss, "like powerful ones."

"Oh, good." Kiss. "I'm afraid I'd bore you otherwise."

"Never."

Nuzzle. "Good. You're interesting."

Smile.

She stretches on the couch some. "Do you want to do lessons next then, darling?"

"Yes. The autopilot can handle things for a while."

"Most of the early arcana stuff's boring, and not even a good foundation for the later nonsense - I'll start you on the accelerated course of study, how about?"
