"Less blatant."

"Even if I set it up so the reds were on the other side of the room, with a divider, didn't share dormitories - just listened to the same lectures -"

"If no one else has to touch anything reds touched then I bet they'll go. Separately, someone might get nervous about reds knowing magic and try to kill them."

"If I make sure they have Adamant bodyguards? How hard will they try?"

"They will try with plausible deniability about any government being responsible for it. Adamant bodyguards might suffice."

"All right then."

She asks Isel how to make this asylum known.

Isel informs Anitami reds that reds everywhere should know that the aliens will take their mage kids.

What about parents? And how would they get there? .......not that there are any, reds have notoriously poor diets.

Course there aren't. The aliens can teleport, like how they got Biyan's children out, but 'tell us where to find your mage child' is obviously sketchy so Isel's not sure how they could get there.

That would be a problem if there were any.

Sigh. Here is the alien's contact info anyway. They could try just asking for teleport healing or something.

Maurabel and an Ice who is working as a translator for her these days say that if there were any, it's pretty cheap for Shadows to look at dark places, so they could designate a dark place for Shadows to check for messages sometimes, if there were any messages, which of course there are not.

"Works if they just don't trust me, doesn't help if they don't trust you. If you get a couple word'll spread, though."

"If they don't trust me nothing'll help."

"I suggested they could write to ask for healing because that they might do for someone who's going to die anyway. And then if you heal a couple there's more trust."

Nod. "I can do that."

"Getting the ones out of Biyan might be enough." Sigh.

"I do worry about them, I haven't been able to funnel them as much as they're used to having, however it compares with my world."

"Can magic change hair color?"

"Shine could do it temporarily. Earth maybe could figure out how to do it permanently but you'd have to know a lot about how Amentan hair colors work."

"I mean, we know the heredity patterns reasonably well, but we couldn't isolate the gene sequence or anything."

"...I don't know what a gene sequence is, that's not the - right kind of knowing."

Shrug. "It's not about the hair anyway. Just, if you got magic that did a dozen miscellaneous medical things and changed the hair people might buy it as a - hereditary uncleanliness scouring spell. That's always been Aitim's endgame."

"Earth does very miscellaneous medical things but it's Water you want for - poison."

"Where can someone get a comprehensive overview of magic, its theoretical limitations, etc etc..."
