"Demons can conjure for things. We've known about all the afterlife stuff for ages, angels and fairies only found out more recently. And there are concordances, which is when this little bit of Hell overlaps with Limbo and we can send them things. The whole space of the concordance is full of train tracks and we send them supplies, as much as we can squeeze through before it closes again, and we read some of their writing and music and stuff."

"Oh."

"It's an okay afterlife. Some worlds don't have one at all."

"I guess it's better than nothing."

"Yeah. And hey, now you'll be a daeva. Can I get you anything?"

"Yeah -" Some things.

Some things! And home! And another circle!

Godspring! ...his summoner appears to be a two year old!

He thought they weren't letting kids summon until they were older than that but maybe they're small for their age. "Hi, can I get you anything?"

The toddler giggles and claps her hands. Toddler's mom says, "Okay, send him back now!"

Clapping.

"C'mon, darling!"

...This isn't a dot and the circle is paper.

"How'd you figure out how to do this?"

"A demon made the circle for us - Vissi's not really up to traveling and we're kind of out of the way." She pats the toddler. "Concentrate real hard, Vissi!"

"I'm sorry this is taking so long. I think she'll get it soon enough."

"Why do you think that? Is she usually good at things requiring a minute's sustained attention?"

"She's such a clever little girl. So smart. Aren't you!"

"Yah!"

"So think real hard about getting rid of that demon!"

"Yah!"

Vissi thinks real hard, then goes up to him and shoves him. "Go 'way!"

"I would love to."

"Go go go go! Noooo demon in house." Shove shove.

"You have to think him gone, darling."

"I think the dots they have them wait until they're four, and maybe they have to hold a button down for one minute too, to show they understand the idea..."

"She gets sick."

"My parents would totally have done this. But it is not a great idea."

"I'm sorry. Sometimes she has a better attention span after her nap. I'm just not - the demon came by and gave us a ton of things and asked if we had any kids, the demon brought his kid - but she had a fever, so -"

"It's okay. Do you think you could get her to agree to a task so I don't have to sit here until she's got it?"
