"Bit worried about Timothy but I have no idea what to do about that."

"Because he read the morbid book or because he's freaking out about your little brother?"

"Because he's - in over his head, generally?"

Nod.

"But usually if I were worried about something like that I'd go to Timothy, I don't really know what else to do. 

If it doesn't make us into Muggles we should probably all daevafy."

"It is pretty nice. I wonder what you'd be."

"Dunno. Demons're clearly the best."

"I know, right?" she grins.

"Most useful and convenient powers ever. And I could pick up sphereflute."

"A fairy might be able to play sphereflute," allows Amriac, "I'm not sure any have tried."

"Well, but that's telling all by itself, I don't want to be a kind of daeva that could pick up sphereflute and doesn't."

She laughs. "There might not be any sphereflutes in Fairyland! They can do some nifty manufacturing with their magic to make up for not being able to make things directly but it'd still be a chore to assemble one."

"Okay, that's not a terrible reason."

"But they could've imported a couple."

"Yeah, seriously."

"And I'm pretty sure an angel couldn't do it at all so try not to be an angel."

"I would delightedly try not to be an angel if it were clear how trying was involved. 

I wonder why Elves don't turn into daeva."

"Dunno. Maybe only humans can."

"Kind of too bad. But yeah, maybe."

Finis runs right off to go speak to Minor.

"...not sure that'll help anything but I'm not going to try talking him out of it."

"We don't know if he can still use his wand or not."

"We don't - if he can then my father will be like 'this is amazing! Okay summon me back I'm going to kill myself now' which is maybe the most helpful thing he can do - sort of gives Minor a non-traumatic frame for it - or maybe super traumatizing I would need to see him to guess -

- and if he's a Muggle then he's going to be crushed -"

"Hopefully your father would remember to perform a summoning first."

"That he'd do. He's not stupid, just - thoughtless."
