Not Milliways.

She throws the stick on the ground and it opens itself, unfolding into a tent. "Ta-da."

Felix gives her a smile that is 50% fondness and 50% willpower to work his muscles that way.

...aw. She walks up to him and hugs him again. "It's bigger on the inside."

Felix hugs back and takes a look at the inside of the tent.

So much hug.

The inside is, in fact, bigger. There is a mattress that looks pretty comfortable for being on the ground, as well as a pile of clothes and pillows and cushions and blankets.

"What happens if you... fold the tent while there is someone inside?"

"It's made of cloth, so it just... falls on them, kinda. It won't squeeze them or anything."

"Ah, what about things that break easily or... food?"

"It will never get smaller than whatever's inside it that wasn't enchanted with it," she clarifies. "So at worst you'll have a lot of stuff under cloth, which shouldn't... be able to break anything stronger than a dandelion."

Nod. "I was just curious." Does Kaede want to snuggle on the mattress and talk about their plans?

She very much does! There are completely snuggles.

Yeah, Felix needs those.

He can have as much of those as he wants and needs. She kinda also needs some, but she's better at dealing with this kind of thing if she's doing stuff.

Felix understands that sentiment, but talking about their plans counts as being productive, right?

It definitely does. They will snuggle and strategise and it'll be great, and eventually it'll be time for her to make them food.

Would she like help? Felix doesn't want to mooch off her.

Sure, he can help, but most of the cooking will be done magically anyway.

He can at least learn how it works for future reference.

Sure! It's pretty easy.

They have dried meat and a few kinds of grains and hard but tasty bread and mead, which Kaede explains is food typical of Bezanab.

Felix is happy to taste the typical Bezanab food. "Love you," he says between bites.

"Love you, too," she sighs.

They eat. "Mages can't see what is on the other side of the storm?"

"No, the storm's also a scrying barrier, apparently."

"How does something like that even happen anyway? The storm I mean? What is it like?"

"No one knows, and I've never been to it so I can't say. It's been there as long as anyone can remember, no one's recorded as having put it there."
