She blinks.

Cam glances at Timothy.

"Also I'm just abstractly interested in having numbers on my reliability," he says nonchalantly, and leans against Cam. "Does Davidson's include people interested in sex work -"

"Yes, they do."

He makes a face.

"Giving people fewer options -"

"Yes, yes, I know, but you can't even kill yourselves -"

"I mean, we can't will our heart to stop but there exist options, if this is super relevant to whether Elves think one can consent to sex."

"I think you're doing good work and I would like the project of giving people better options to proceed apace."

"Cam, can you give him a copy of the screening videos -"

Cam hands him a copy of the screening videos.

"I think I'm missing something," says Niari.

" - the state of having promised a daeva you will have sex with them as payment, being one that you can't renegotiate unless the daeva wants to, isn't compatible with consent as we understand it. I do think it's appropriate to have it on the list, but -"

"The Safe Summoning Authority recommends insisting on payment on advance."

"That would resolve my reservations, yes."

"I'm not the Godspring project manager but I think most relevant countries in Godspring want the GCP handling incidents that occur there, are you guys likely to be up for that?"

"We can accept more subscriptions, yes."

"If subscribing nations get a vote or something you might want to rejigger things so that a voting majority of your members aren't monarchs who recently abolished slavery at Elfpoint and do not share your concerns for humaneness and so on."

"Subscribing nations are allowed votes on some things but not to the point where I'd think that would be a problem, unless they actively object to humaneness."

"Some of them might - Hazel governments would - what problems would that create?"

"I guess if they voted as a bloc they could keep getting rid of directors until they found one who'd do what they want? But then we'd lose Revelation subscribers, so I doubt it would come to that, we'd drop them first."

Nod. "Nice meeting you. What do you think of Milliways?"

"Bit surreal."

"Isn't it just. Walking in here from 1802 made for a very exciting day."

"I can hardly imagine."

"Cam, do you mind getting the door for us -"

Cam opens the door to Revelation.
