This time the bar contains the small Maitimo and his parents, who are flipping through textbooks and osanwëing at each other and occasionally saying a phrase out loud that makes no sense without the context.

And a bunch of human children -

 - one of whom is a demon. You can tell because he keeps making stuff and then waving a wand and Vanishing it. Kinda constantly.

Cute. Kib makes a note of the bar population and then gets a recommendation from Bar and starts eating.

No one bothers him!

Ambela bothers him a little, but leaves him be after a brief check-in, and then she goes out.

That really is a very distraught Elf. (You can tell by the singing; his face is only a little distraught.)

She goes over to sit with him and sing along for a bit.

Are you all right?

Relative to newly established benchmarks for what not being all right can constitute, sure.

Given long enough and the fact that he can verify things are going on in real time without reversions he'll know he's out sooner or later. Can I help you -?

Midnight said that too but - there've been a hundred sixteen, much easier to conclude we've gotten better at it -

Most of them were not making bids for convincingness even in the sense of containing characters claiming they were real.

Have you heard about allergies?

No, what's an allergy?

He bounces her the interaction with the demon and Midnight's explanation.

What a stupid thing for a species to have.

Yep.

I'll have to ask Cam if they're curable in his world.

Yeah. 

Do you think Kib'd prefer we not share things he said -

...He'd presumably be similarly forthcoming with any of us, already assumes the worst case scenario in terms of who has the information, and might find it annoying to keep track of which of us is supposed to know which thing. I wouldn't expect momentary concerns about privacy to feature heavily in his opinions after he knows we're real. But those are reasons not to avoid it, not reasons to do it if you wouldn't like to.

So he bounces her Kib's hallucination-explanation.

She hugs him.

It's not about how I feel. But hug.

Well, I could go hug Kib, but I don't think he'd benefit from it.

Doesn't seem likely. Is there anything that would help -
