He will, it'll be so cute. I'm a very cute person, aren't I?

Permalink

You are. He makes an exaggerated pount. I will have to settle for third place then.

Permalink

You make for a very dashing third place, she says, tackling him mid-air to kiss him.

Permalink

Ooooh! Flying kisses!

They continue to fly back the way they came, and it starts getting dark. It also becomes clear that there are two moons.

Permalink

"Your world is so pretty. Is that the total number of moons?"

Permalink

"Yeah, only the two. I expect the effect on tides is rather interestingly different than your Earth."

Permalink

"I guess? Naively I would assume our tides would be simpler. I would raise questions about how that affected the evolution of local life, but again we are the same species for all practical purposes."

Permalink

"There are probably differences, if not at the human level. I'd expect your beaches to be way more permanent? The shoreline changes a lot here. Eclipses are also probably way more common for you guys."

Permalink

"Really? I would expect the number of moons would increase the number of moon-related events."

Permalink

"Well, each moon individually gets eclipsed more often I guess, but I mean total eclipses of both moons. It's also rare to have a moonless night."

Permalink

Nod. "We have a co-apprentice that is never going to believe this until we show him. I kinda want to tell him all about the multiverse and see him deny that it exists."

Permalink

"I thought you all knew about the multiverse?"

Permalink

"He knows about our corner of the multiverse and how Elsewhere works. Milliways is rather outside its scope and until now we have been working under the assumption that every world is different, the notion that there are multiple Earths is totally going to confuse him."

Permalink

"Well, the notion that a multiverse is a thing at all is already plenty bizarre, adding alts—of people and worlds—isn't incredibly surprising relatively speaking."

Permalink

"Fair enough. But Henry can be quite adorably stubborn about things."

Permalink

"'Adorably stubborn.' Do I sense history, here?"

Permalink

"Henry has an anti-magic gift. It made it very hard to show him that sorcery was a thing and he was transported to another dimension. Even when people showed him obviously magical artifacts or Elsewhere's giant fauna. Apparently there was a point where he assumed it was all a fever dream."

Permalink

"An anti-magic gift. What an appallingly terrible ability."

Permalink

"Wait, why?"

Permalink

"Well, I suppose it can come in handy defensively; magic isn't common enough here for that to typically be a problem, most magic is beneficial."

Permalink

"I wouldn't say that it is more common, but it is more accessible and there is enough conflict that even just apprentices are expected to keep several wards so they can't be made to betray their masters or expose their secrets and the whatever."

Permalink

"Oh wow. That sounds terrible."

Permalink

"Mind you, it isn't likely that I would be targeted, but there are more incentives to do so."

Permalink

"Mmhm."

Huggy, clingy flying?
