They want to be safe from red mages teleporting all around touching things.

Mages. Cannot. Teleport. Only elementals can do that and they can take non-mage passengers too if they want.

Yeah and they're scared of that too!!

But it absolutely cannot be addressed by killing mages.

And they are miserable about that.

Too bad.

They are so glad they'll have other mages soon.

She works on a curriculum. Gets reports from the little mages' elemental friends.

The little mages are all loved very much (except for this one, whose mother is an alcoholic and whose father is depressed; neither of them play with him and there's only sometimes food. Grandma's pursuing a custody case.) They are being taught Anitami as best their caretakers can manage it, which in some case is regular tutors and in some cases watching Anitami children's television shows. In some countries they are protected national assets with security teams assigned; some countries are ignoring them.

In Calado someone's private security shows up to take a purple mage baby away for a better upbringing. Then more security shows up to argue with the original security, and the baby's mother flees with the baby in the ensuing chaos. She is arrested for disobeying security directives and sterilized on arrest because the private prison in that district has a contract with a hospital that does sterilizations. She is released without charges but billed for the arrest and the sterilization; she can't afford it and is arrested again for unpaid fines.

The first little mage's Fire friend, with some Maurabel coaching, sells youth boosts and buys the little mage food and brings him to playgrounds and talks to him in Anitami.

The second little mage's Lightning friend can't figure out how to get a valid Calador work permit, can Maurabel just pay her fines off miscellaneous bribe money she has sloshing around and import the family to Anitam by any chance?

"It's hard to get anyone willing to swap to Calado because, uh. Calado."

"Yes, it certainly seems that Calado, can I get an exception - I won't need it when there's mages everywhere because everyone's eating clams and nobody will be taking such an exceptional interest in them but this is one of a hundred and sixteen."

"Some people might be bribeable to swap? Purples don't emigrate much at all but probably for enough money. There just isn't any such thing as non-swap immigration, the strings to pull aren't there at all."

"I'm going to be able to have the students at my school at all, right?"

"Yeah, study-abroad there are applicable strings for. They won't be Anitami citizens, they're just studying here."

"Will they not be able to bring their parents? I'm going to start when they're two."

"Little bit harder but I'm sure we can wrangle it."

"Can I invite all the purple ones here early - maybe all the ones who aren't blue and green - to make sure they don't start at a terrible disadvantage from their home situations?"

"Got anywhere on those air-making artifacts?"

"Some. This wouldn't be for magical tutoring, just making sure they know Anitami and stuff."

"Yes, I know, I'm trying to figure out how much leverage you can expect to have."

"I think in six months with a dozen Airs to tap I can make an artifact that makes about as much air as an Air's halo."

"Then maybe at that point give it to us and say something nice about examples of the things mages will be able to accomplish and then present them with your plan for when everyone gets visas and how long they'll be here and so forth."

"There's a kid who's being tossed around by Calado right now. The Lightning is trying but finds it unnavigable there."

"I will try to pitch 'wouldn't it be nice if one more of the mages were Anitami'."
