"It's how the Elves handle daeva who've killed people or whatever. Summons with a really loose binding that just prohibits leaving Hell, and then you walk through a door and go home. Could do it without the binding, for you two, the point is while you're on a summons you won't feel other ones."

"I'd like that - Olivia and I haven't talked about her going back, though, if people in the human world knew..."

"Then maybe the best arrangement would be shared custody somewhere that's less horrible to demons than Revelation - uh, the human world. It's - up to Olivia, but - I would never raise a demon child there."

"She doesn't look it, but... I don't know where we'd go. Off with the Elves?"

"There's also Godspring. Or the place I live, if Olivia wants to hang out with the dragons, but it's an - eventful place, you might want a quieter one."

"I don't think dragons are her speed, but I could be wrong."

"Yeah. I check for Minor Way, if you want any of that or if anything else comes up. I'm - really glad you're home."

"Thank you, that's very sweet of you."

And he'll take the rest of the specific summons.

He has some fans who want to meet him!

Much more fun than getting safety lectures from stuffy ladies!

And after those he has a summons from a park in India that wants dragons!

Same terms as Jurassic Park!

They would be happy to have him duplicate their enclosure and they want Ruby and Otto.

That can be arranged. Theodore can probably fairy over to consult for them, too, Theodore's the expert on dragons.

Jurassic Park doesn't have a noncompete clause? Okay, great, they'd love to have him.

He isn't sure he's legally employed there or anywhere, child labor laws and so on. He'll tell him to drop by.

There's a sending-off party for Ruby and Otto; he makes it rain bacon chips.

It turns out that Theodore is a volunteer and therefore cannot be held to a noncompete.

Makes sense. So Theodore can visit both parks and make sure all dragons in human parks are well-treated. Minor brings back Ruby and Otto and builds them a preserve.

Minor has quite a lot of money by now; he asks Aaron to spend it on useful charity stuff.

He idly checks on that summoner in New Guinea.

The settlement has declined to relocate to someplace where they would have been legally obliged to maintain their heater. They are rebuilding things. The lady who summoned him is taking a break and drinking some water.

...he drops Cam a note asking if there's a design for a housing compound that definitely won't explode in the next few hundred years even without maintenance.

In theory, not if you have to account for pests and weather and earthquakes and stuff but you could still get close. You could copy Eternity Villa, it's an experimental project in that vein.

Tempted to go offer to build them it, do you think that's a good idea?

Well, the advantage of it being an ungoverned area is that you can't get in trouble for being unescorted.

Off he goes.
