The Earthlings native and adopted stay in Marlatia, hiding uneventfully in the guest room, for several days. Isabella immortalizes king and queen both when they sneak her to a sufficiently large, empty, and unoccupied room to do it in. When Adarin has enough mana he makes mirror pairs for each of their majesties to contact their counterpart - Isabella's portal bag is kind of accumulating mirrors at this point. And when he has more mana still, Iobel finds a slightly-bigger-than-door-sized plank and a set of hinges and some screws and combines all these objects on the ceiling of a lockable room on the first floor but out of the way, currently serving as storage for a lot of broken musical instruments that someone once probably identified as probably repairable. This plank gets a portal on it, and the Earthlings go home.
After catching up on business - and allowing time to recover mana, again - and getting their Marlatian alts a laptop each, and putting a router and chargers within easy reach of the portal on their side, which is also on a sheet of wood but is kept in their basement propped up against a wall -
Isabella snuggles up to her husband and suggests searching the planes for more of themselves.

Isabella sets pace above and behind. She jostles the dangling hammock. "Adarin, wake up, look alive."

Idania is currently looking through her bag of tricks. Well. Not a literal bag, but she has things that sting when thrown into eyes and she knows how to use them.
"Ready whenever," she says, when she finds the right vial.

Isabella overtakes the hoverbike, and comes about in front of it just above its modest altitude.
The acolyte - because he's obviously an acolyte, he's got some sort of twisted bit of deadwood on a necklace - is caught off guard.
"No, I don't," he replies, confused and concerned. "Keep walking, acolyte, I've done jack shit to you."

"That hoverbike is mine. I left it in the care of a friend, since dead. You have it by no licit means."
"Yeah, didn't think so. Plague on all your houses."
He knows he can't get Aya, that's obvious, she works for Perinixu. He points at Idania, instead.

"Best two out of three?" says the acolyte. He points at Isabella.
And then, while they are distracted, hoverbike - full speed, away from here.

The acolyte stops the bike and sighs. "Well what do you need the hoverbike for, you've obviously got better transportati-"
