"Thank you. You hafta open the door," he says to the fairy, "if I do it'll go to my house instead of yours."

The fairy opens the door.

His wife looks up from her computer and sees the bar and shrieks.

"Sophie, Sophie, it's all right, I'll explain," he says, rushing through and letting the door shut behind him.

He makes a move to go through also.

" - don't, everything's paused."

"Oh, okay." He watches the door swing shut.

The fairy's explanation is cut short.

"What'd you do?"

"Threw a brick at his head."

"...well, the result is elegant."

"You're welcome." He goes back upstairs.

He leans into Cam and sighs.

Hug. "I should go catch Minor and tell him probably."

"Yeah, good idea."

Cam goes out back and takes off to catch up to Minor.

He sees him coming, circles. "Hey."

"Theodore summoned your summoner and convinced him not to press charges and sent him home to Vienna."

 "- oh. That's good. Is he okay?"

"He looked kind of freaked out but more in an overwhelmed way than a traumatized way?"

"Don't know why he didn't - I dragged him into the circle and then stood there. For ten minutes. With a wand on him - you'd think -"

"Don't know. Well, he wouldn't have recognized the wand, but even so."

"I think the idea was clear without the wand, yeah." Sigh. "Would've turned myself in. People shouldn't be scared their daeva will murder them."

"Well. People shouldn't be scared their summoners will trap them, either. Ugly situation. He's back with his wife, he's all right."

"Now we just have to stop the dimension-hopping egg people."
