"That sounds like a lovely idea. This world's magic is great."

"It is, isn't it?"

"Is there something else you'd like to have that you never thought you would or deferred because money was a barrier?"

"Proper wards. A full set of defensive magic. I don't care if it makes me look like a paranoid tool, defenses are good."

"Then we can buy that when we're downtown again."

"I almost want a bunch of miscellaneous amulets. They give persistent powers, but are all super expensive, most people rent them if you ever use them at all. But I don't feel a pressing need for them and we can always get them later."

"What kinds of powers can you get?"

"Telekinesis, water-breathing, so-called 'immunity to weather', defenses, and various healing things are probably the five most common."

"Oooh, telekinesis sounds fun. The other ones I think it makes more sense to rent, given that you're going to turn and they'll be all but useless."

"Makes sense. The telekinesis is closer to the level of 'grab my keys from the table' not 'move the table' though."

"What's its range? Does it multitask well?"

"More is more expensive, and mostly depends on your attention but there's a maximum weight, I think."

"None of which are objections, but I guess it's not that much of an advantage."

"If you get me one I'll use it. I just don't have a burning desire for such."

"Fair enough."

"Anyway let's talk about which mountains to fly around tomorrow. This one's supposed to have pretty geothermal stuff..."

Ooh other mountains, he's curious about what options there are.

Different varieties of forest, geothermal, hobbit-like burrow town, a small colony of birdlike Fair Folk, mer living in the steep pools and streams and waterfalls in one place, a zone of dramatic sandstone cliffs and arches, a mountain face that is someone's millenium-long art project...

Millennium-long?

It's an entire mountain face carved into little statues and big faces. By all available sources, one Fair Folk did it and continues working on it to this day.

Oooh yes he wants to go visit that!

They can go visit that, then. It's kind of a long flight by wing-pack. The world pillars are an entire continental region.

Sadde has no objections but if Terel prefers to take some faster transportation method he's up for it too.

It wouldn't be 'faster', it'd be 'more comfortable than flying for hours and hours'. And, nah, flying is great.

It really is. Flying, then!
