Yeah. Berathyme is a bit curious about the conversation, but accepts a brief explanation without fuss and goes back to sleeping.

Adarin is a little annoyed with them for being so blatantly awkward, but - well, not much he can do about it. He'll just keep being flown by his unnoticeable wife.

And here is the palace.

Iobel heads to a corridor that she knows to contain empty and little-trafficked guest rooms.

They are free of people! How convenient!

"Think this would be a good spot for them to reveal themselves?" he asks.
Permalink
"In a room, I think, in case someone comes up the stairs unexpectedly."

Iobel picks a room, holds the door open for a good long time, and then closes it.

Isabella breaks her own spell by poking her alt hard in the forehead.

"What sorts of things break the spell?" asks Adarin, when he can see his wife again.

Permalink

"Anything a little too - attention-getting. I don't think you can do anything to me to end it because I can already see you, but if you - I don't know, pull Edarial's hair or try to take his shoes off or something."

Permalink

"Okay," he says. Then he decides to be boring and pokes Edarial in the forehead. "Hello."

Permalink

"Hello. So, this is the palace. You can have this room, if you keep the door locked the servants shouldn't bother you."

Permalink

"Thank you," says Adarin. "If we find them anyway, do we uh - pretend to be you, or something?"

Permalink

"I... don't really know how that would be taken. People don't know very much about me, so Isabella can probably get away with being my sister, but everyone knows Edarial's twin is not identical. That spell was pretty fast, maybe just recast it if someone bangs on the door?"

Permalink

"That could work. Or I could hide, I suppose."

Permalink

"And if we're going to have to prowl the castle we can just cast it beforehand and be fine," says Isabella. "Worst case scenario you can tell people the truth or claim to have produced us by magic."

Permalink

"Your clothes are a bit strange, though I suppose we could explain it away as us inventing a doppelganger spell. Or something."

Permalink

"I suppose we could loan you clothes."

Permalink

"You could, but these are magic."

Permalink

Adarin grins. "Yup! I like practical things."

Permalink

"They're armor! Fancy armor."

Permalink

"Well, I suppose the situation where you're observed closely enough to be noticed wearing anything at all is also the case where you might conceivably want to be wearing armor."

Permalink

"Paranoid!" says Adarin. "You're fine, Edarial's fine, my love is fine, but for other people, I am going to wear armor. Besides, Isabella likes her silks."

Permalink

"I do! They're pretty and you decorated them for me."

Permalink

"Aww, thank you!" He gives his wife a kiss, because she is his wife and he loves her.

Permalink

Edarial is vaguely weirded out by an alt of him kissing Isabella so casually.

Iobel's more - wistful.
