"Oh, we actually live in town."

"The other skymages are friends of a friend and invited us to do this gig."

Permalink

"You do? How come I've never run into you?"

Permalink

"How often do you look up?"

Permalink

"I heard humans are terrible at that."

Permalink

"Well now I'm gonna start looking up all the time."

"Don't get hit by a bus over it. We actually only moved into the city a little more than a year ago. Which explains why we've never met before."

Snort. "Flying is practical for most things except meeting new people."

"I suppose museums are better for that. I actually just moved a couple of weeks back."

Permalink

"I've been here a while, though. Suppose I'm the native."

Permalink

"Have you? Anything to recommend that people are unlikely to discover in under a year?"

Permalink

"I can think of a thing or two."

Permalink

"Ooh, I don't think we got your names. I'm Felix and this is Fenris, in case you forgot."

Permalink

"Dayo. He's Arthur."

Permalink

He waves.

"Are you enjoying the exhibition? We haven't gotten around to actually looking at it."

Permalink

"Yeah! We'd actually just arrived before coming here."

Permalink

"Do you have time until the next show? I always wonder what people that are represented in these sorts of things think of them."

Permalink

"We do. And we wouldn't mind voicing our opinions."

Permalink

"Then let's go see some hilariously inaccurate exhibits."

Permalink

"They're probably not that bad."

And here is the Stormlands part of the exhibit! There are a lot of pictures and miscellaneous artifacts! A sea serpent skeleton hanging from the ceiling that loops around the room! A stuffed set of lords-of-birds and how the symbiotic magic propagates between different species of birds! Various pictures of skymages using their magical powers and how these affect the colors of their wings (or their eyes if they have greater forecast). There is one about Stormland history.

"Oooh, found the first hilariously inaccurate mistake."

Permalink

"Do tell!"

Permalink

"Probably this isn't as meaningful if you don't have tormundic ancestry. But here they're describing the end of Stormlords and how most island-states adopted democracy or at least things sufficiently close to democracy that they eventually became democratic. So far so good."

He points at a picture, showing skymages fighting a storm elemental. This one is vaguely dragon-shaped, but still obviously made out of clouds.

"Here they are claiming that skymages stopped fighting the storms elementals after their governments turned democratic. Which isn't quite true."

Permalink

"Oh?" Arthur asks.

Permalink

"What happened is that democratic states didn't fight storm elementals, instead preparing themselves to endure their storms."
