"That'll be great as far as it goes till you run into the ones who through whatever quirk or adversity turn it into an identity thing. Like, deaf humans are also a linguistic community because they use sign language, and have a culture that emerged from that, and some of 'em would resent a cure because it would cut them off in spirit if not in actual fluency."

"...hmmm."

"We can just pay the Dwarves for disabled humans - or give the disabled humans the money and let them use it to go live among Dwarves if they so please - if that would be a good environment for them."

"Might work, if the Dwarves'll take your money and you have enough of it to throw around. How do their dispute arbitration companies tend to resolve questions of fact?"

"We trade with Dwarves - summoning is going to shake everything up but as of right now we could definitely fund a hundred thousand humans as a trial run -"

"The companies are pretty good at investigating things, there are fewer disputes if everyone trusts they'll be resolved correctly and a company doesn't want to damage their reputation over any individual case..."

"Have any Dwarves made a serious study of evidentiary obfuscation, because some humans have and others find it comes naturally."

The Elves blink at each other uncertainly.

"I'm really glad the tech differential doesn't run the other way or my society making contact with yours would be a nightmare."

"Oh lord poor innocent Bronze Age Elves no -"

"...are humans in 1802 particularly terrible to societies with less technology than them -"

"Little bit."

"Excruciatingly."

"Before we met the multiverse we were considering 'ending the human slave trade' among our most important problems -"

"And that's when the primitives are valuable alive in some way. To say nothing of the spread of disease to naive immune systems."

"...the human slave trade -?"

" - there are also house elves, they are magically enslaved and happy about it and it's going to be hard to fix. Harder than humans, at least, humans you can tell 'okay, you're not slaves now here are enough resources to start over' and they'll go for it -"

"You are welcome to meet our house-elves, if you think it'll be clarifying."

"You have some?"

"Yeah."

"Why are they happy about it -"

"They really like work and they're brought up to believe being freed is the most shameful and horrifying thing imaginable."

"- mm. What would they do if no one wanted slaves?"
