"No, I wouldn't expect her to get terribly excited about it. I worked for her for a long time, but we weren't personally close the way Idania and Rae are."

Adarin snickers. "Board games. With a god. How does that work?"

"Well, random dude of the funky hairstyle, we set up a board game and then we play it."

"This is Adarin, he's my husband. We're going to be in this world for a little while longer while he rests up so we can move on to our next stop. In the meantime, reasonable courses of action in no particular order include giving Ayabel a ride back to Perinixu's domain since I don't need to do any further calling-on-foreign-deities, scoping out good places to put a portal, collecting our promised sets of blessings, scrying to see if Adarin can find Aya's original world to mark for later visits, and getting lunch."

"My blessings have all been wiped out, and while Perinixu may not have been overjoyed to hear about my imminent return I imagine she'll give them back and my acolyte power too on request. And then I will be able to walk. And maybe find out what happened to my hoverbike."

Idania celebrates this fact by casually floating a few feet in the air. "Okay, husband is transportation and other-world hopping, got it. If you find Aya's original world can you take me there? They have slavery, I take offense to it."

"Ooh," says Aya, noticing when she gets protection from elements, "thanks, Rae."

"We'll leave Aya a way to talk to us," says Isabella, "if not necessarily now then on a future trip when Adarin's recharged, and assuming it's safe we can put a portal in her original world too, and then perhaps you can visit it and do something about that."

"Okay," says Idania brightly. "Cool, thanks. I was going to make them stop it."

"And I would help," says Rae, calmly. "You're welcome, Aya. I am feeling generous. Thank you, Isabella and Adarin, for returning my acolyte."

Adarin snickers some more. "I am the mythical teleporting and translating husband. Batteries not included."

"You're welcome, Raezenoth. Sweetie, I hope you're not mythical, that would say some distressing things about my sanity."

"Pfff, no, it's fine. We're just traveling to other planes, meeting other versions of ourselves, and casually talking to people that play board games with gods. Nothing insane, here. This is your life now."

"I order my goddesses around, I'm not overwhelmingly bewildered by someone who plays board games with hers."

"Is that what you were doing? I didn't understand a word of the poem."

"Yep. You can have the language spell too when there's more mana going spare. Maybe Adarin's new alt will help."

"Language spell? Does it let you learn a single language instantly, or is it - complete understanding of all languages?"

Adarin grins. "Second thing, kind of. It translates for you and helps you learn all languages. Ever."

"... Okay I take back the weird hair comment you are a beautiful snowflake and can have whatever hair color you want. Also I want that spell."

"I have an excellent husband." Pause. "Aya, you?"

Aya shrugs a little. "It wasn't a priority, and I never met anyone who - made it one. I didn't die a virgin, but there's no one I'm desperate to have jumped in the queue."

"Woooo single ladies!" says Idania, who floats over to give Aya a high-five.

Aya high-fives her.
