Zag is friendly! He sniffs people and is bristly but still pretty pettable.

"Does your world have anything that needs fixing? Aside from mortality, humans always have that."

"...that's the big one, I guess? Maybe it would be nice if people didn't have to bring Pokémon to go anywhere safely but it's not like there aren't enough of them to go around as long as you don't want designer variants or something."

"Why do people have to bring Pokémon to go anywhere safely?"

"There's wild ones, they might attack you. If you have your own they can fight the wild ones for you."

"Huh. I wonder if people not born in your world can hold a Pokémon."

"Dunno! I could try loaning someone Zag but you have to give him back."

"I'll try it, what do I do?"

Bella transmutes Zag into red light with a small expansible spherical object from her pocket and he disappears into it and offers it to her.

"...how did you do that."

"...it's a Pokéball, that's what they do."

" - everyone else also doesn't have Pokéballs. How do they do it, are they magic -"

"No, I don't think so... there's also a fruit called Apricorns that can do it if you hollow it out and stuff but it doesn't work as well..." She lets Zag out again. "It's really easy, see, you just point it and press the button -" She returns him again and hands the ball to Miranda. "Now if you let him out and you've got him we should be able to tell."

...Miranda pushes the button. Zag comes out.

"No, I've still got him." She takes the ball back.

"That was fascinating, thank you."

"You're welcome!"

And he lets the Bells catch up. It is adorable how they do that.

After the Bells are caught up to a reasonable standard and have dispersed, Cam would like to go ahead and try to kill his demonic mouse.

Convenient how Cam's boyfriend knows the Killing Curse.

It's more complicated. More elements, more finicky about getting them exactly, more concentration needed on the mindset.

He can get the mindset but concentrating on it for very long while doing other things is really hard and doing it at something other than a demonic mouse is going to be harder.

Yeah. Though, Melkor. 

Yeah, Melkor will be easier.

"This is not something I want to work on continuously for hours. Want to see what happens if I make a basement dweller Elf who looks like me and take some of its hair and don't try to throw off a Polyjuice?"

Giggle. "I would love to do that."

So Cam makes a basement dweller - "What do you think, is this what I'd look like if I were an Elf - or should it rather be 'what Mirelótë would look like if male' -"
