"We don't actually have the wherewithal to heal your daughter right this second but the Boston enclave is a safer place for her to wait."

- he nods, a bit stiffly. "We are very grateful."

Marcy nods. "She can stay in my sister's room. --She was amazing."

You should be proud don't tell them what to think We couldn't've done it without her you can't be sure of that We'll get her healed can't be sure of that either "She's a brilliant artificer."

Annisa's dad seems like maybe he is not super grateful and would prefer the crazy people didn't make off with his catatonic daughter but doesn't feel comfy saying so in front of the enclavers, which, what is she gonna say, "don't feel constrained around the powerful people?" Shyeah right.

The sprite witch flutters from her perch on Belladonna's shoulder to delicately, telekinetically lift Annisa's insensate body through the portal.

It's very reasonable of Annisa's dad to be bothered, but Annisa will in fact be safer in Boston so that's where she's going. Marcy follows to make sure she gets installed in the currently-empty bedroom okay. Hopefully there will not be any friction once Annisa is back on her feet again.

Annisa's father is deeply grateful Boston is going to look after Annisa's delicious Mal-attracting comatose self! He's just slightly alarmed by the amount of other stuff going on here! 

"She is," he says to Marcy gratefully as they depart, though he does not stop nervously glaring.

"Okay...we've got Boston appraised...Jaromira hasn't come back from interfacing with her parents or whoever...we need to decide which enclave we're leaving Melody at...Bella, have Aadhya and Caio texted back yet?"

Permalink

Bella checks her phone. "Caio says he's having his postgraduation feast, nothing from Aadhya yet."

Permalink

Jaromira returns after a few more minutes. "Kanimir and I are good to go; Father and Stepmother aren't taking us seriously enough about the witches thing that I think Melody is best stashed here instead of with Bella's Aunt Evelyn, but won't freak out about us being gone for a while."

"Yeah I would prefer to not be left alone with only people who had not previously been convinced of our existence, that sounds like it could go badly."

Permalink

"I will let Aunt Evelyn know to be prepared for a guest." Text text.

Permalink

"How long do we want to wait for Aadhya to reply?"

Permalink

"I'd give her another - oh, there we go - she says she's planning a party to invite all her mundie friends to but it can wait if we want her, do we want her?"

Permalink

"I don't think there's any particular harm in leaving her, we'll be back. I wouldn't want to abandon her if she wanted to come but if she wants her party I'd say she's well entitled to it." 

Permalink

"I thoroughly agree."

Permalink

"Drop me off in New Orleans, then."

Permalink

Nod. Flick open. 

Permalink

"Say hi to Suze for me if you see her - tiny, Asian, mole right here," Bella taps her jaw.

And once Melody has stepped through and the portal closes, Chu Wanning opens up another one to Antarctica. 

Permalink

Bella chants a bit for warmth and steps through.

Permalink

Lisao pours power through the sharer.

Once they're all in the frozen wasteland, Chu Wanning closes the portal, looks around, and pulls a golden whip with--leaves?--coming off it from seemingly nowhere, and smites a sneaky mal with it.

"- was that the only one?"
