"I know, right? They liked music without lyrics; our lyrics lasted only till each song was translsted. And alphabet books, A is for apple and so on."

" - I assume there are books for people older than three in Revelation that aren't pornographic."

"The Elves don't like to read about antisocial behavior."

"Aaaand I'm back to being super glad I'm not an Elf. Wow. No wonder none of them have any coping skills and they fail to think what could go wrong about swearing to kill anyone who steals your Silmarils."

"Yep. I mean they have great aesthetics and astonishingly low crime rates but it'd be very hard to hold a movie night with them." He drops a heap of cash on Bar. "For the mages. - Oh hey I haven't made you watch Atriama yet."

"Ooooh!"

"It is my favorite thing and you have to like it."

"Oh? What if I think it's terribly tedious? Is that it, will you never speak to me again?"

"I'd probably try a different performance of it first in case you just didn't like that director or something."

Giggle. Kiss. "Perhaps we'd have to summon the whole cast for a live performance."

"Whenever somebody sufficiently professional to advertise puts it on I try to go see it but my favorite one was a very limited run while I was on a summons that ran long. At least they recorded it, demons are good about recording things."

"What sort of things tend to make a summon run long - what do people in Revelation even summon daeva to do -"

"Early days of space colonization, they had me fuel a ship to Mars - they didn't want to rely solely on a fairy, could've quit in the middle and you can't summon in zero gravity so they'd have been stranded till mission control could send them a new one, I was backup. I really thought they might let me terraform it when we got there. Nope."

"It's kind of infuriating how thickheaded they are about daeva when they're so precious about everything else. I suppose the Elves will get on splendidly with them."

"They're precious about different things and humans are higher variance."

"I really want updates from Maitimo on how that's going. Too bad about the time thing."

"It's mostly convenient, just not there in particular. I can go hold the door some more."

"No, no, we were going to watch Atriama."

"We can do that while I hold the door."

"Well, in that case all right."

So Cam goes and holds the door and makes a screen big enough to do Atriama justice.

And luckily he likes it very much and Cam does not have to stop speaking to him at all!!

"That must take so much practice. I'm terribly impressed."

Kiss. "Aerial ballets are complicated!"

"They look it!" Kiss. Snuggle. 

"I'm glad you like it. I would not actually stop speaking to you if you didn't though."
