"No."

"Do elementals want children?"

"I wouldn't know what to do with one."

"How did you two say hi?"

"We were at the same magic school."

"Oooooh magic school."

"Yeah. It was fun."

"Do lots of humans and elementals know how to go to worlds?"

"No."

"New magic?"

Nod.

"Did you write the magic?"

"Penumbra did."

"Wow!" he says to Penumbra.

Penumbra smiles slightly.

"How many people can go with you? How many worlds have you gone to?"

"This is the first one and we're not sure if there's a way for her to bring more than one extra person."

He types. "We are - glad to be first world you meet."

"It seems pretty nice so far!"

"It is nice! We have people who want to meet you - government and school people and people who write things for everyone to read and learn what is happening in the world."

"...okay."

"You can not-meet people if you don't want to."

"It makes sense. I'll need you to translate."

"I will translate! I like translate! So much."

"Okay. You're really good at it."
