"Agreed," says Adarin, in accented but perfect Marlese. "Sorry, I should have thought of something better than immediately teleporting to you both. Wow, that is weird, you sound like us and everything. Hello!"

Edarial is just going to stand here and be confused. "... What?"

Permalink

"Okay I should have made a checklist or something, but, you, what's your name," she asks Iobel, "if you wanted to find out if I was you, what would you ask me?"

Permalink

"I... well, you look like me... are you a clumsy spellbinder with parents that also match and a penchant for notebooking?"

Permalink

"Clumsy witch, haven't checked parents, notebooking yes! My name's Isabella Amariah."

Permalink

"I'm not actually clumsy anymore, I fixed it - and - my name's Iobel Swan. Iobel Maryah Swan."

Permalink

"Witches don't do last names but my dad's is Swan! Well, in English, anyway."

Edarial eyes Adarin, and the cypress crown. "Are you a prince with terrible parents and a twin that likes fighting a bit too much?"

Permalink

"I don't know about my birth father, but my mother was quite terrible. My sister likes fighting a bit too much and has the social finesse of a newborn three-legged moose. My adoptive father is quite wonderful, though."

Permalink

"Sister," repeats Edarial. "... My twin is a male."

Permalink

"Oh wow, boy Zeviana. Or not-Zeviana, maybe."

Permalink

"Where did you say you were from?"

Permalink

"I'm from Earth! Adarin is from Kystle originally and he's the one with the plane-hopping magic."

Permalink

"Yup!" says Adarin, brightly. "This is the fourth plane I've been to, that's how we got here."

Permalink

"'Plane'?"

Permalink

"Essentially, another world, but you can't reach it by non-magical travel. Well. Maybe there will be technology for it eventually, but as of right now my plane-hopping magic is the only thing I know of."

Permalink

"And you are a magical, plane-hopping prince."

Permalink

"Nope! I am a magical, plane-hopping... Person. Wait, love, have we declared ourselves emperor and empress yet, or are the crowns just a fashion statement?"

Permalink

"I told the robot army that English for Senior Equipment Maintenance Specialist is 'Empress', does that count? I think I told, like, a mayor of a town in the colony but haven't formally announced it. But prince, no, unless you count the son-of-halfblood thing?"

Permalink

"I'll accept that. We are technically emperor and empress, and I am not a prince. Son-of-halfblood really doesn't count, I mean, I suppose she was technically queen but no one treated me in any - princely fashion. Not to mention all titles from Kystle are utterly meaningless. So I'm just - not counting it."

Permalink

"But we are looking for interplanar resonance, whether it counts for purposes of your own life doesn't necessarily have much to do with whether it means he's a you. Although I'm increasingly convinced!"

Permalink

"You seem to be a me, all right. A very... perky... me."

Permalink

"You're wearing a tiara, do you not have enough to be perky about?"

Permalink


"No."

"No," repeats Edarial, quietly.
