"Yeah."

"Then yeah I'll go through it all - you can tell Mitros later - is the cat a person?"

"Yes. And not a very nice one."

"Then I will want the cat elsewhere at the time."

"He will probably tolerate hanging out with Aitim and I while we compare notes on everyone we know. If Iobel asks, not if I ask."

"He doesn't like Mitros but I'm sure he can entertain himself finding something to dislike about Aitim too."

"If nothing else I'm sure Bar has first-rate cat treats."

"Why doesn't he like you?"

Sigh. "Long story."

"Which the translation effect will allow him to personally relate."

"He will be thrilled." 

"Yep. What should we do with the time remaining till he wakes up?"

"Compare less upsetting alt-notes? Our families match, do yours -"

Cam has pictures.

"...yep. That's eerie."

"Does Bar know why this happens or just that it does..."

"She doesn't have a causal explanation, no."

"How common is it, should we expect that there's one of you in an Arda and some of us in your universe of origin -"

Most worlds do not have most templates.

He reads this aloud. "Good to know."

"I dunno, I think it'd be fun to have lots of us."

"It would be delightful to have lots of us, it'd just be a shame to spend months looking on the assumption that we're hiding in a universe somewhere."

"Mm-hm."

"I'm not sure we'd be hiding - Iobel and I were in the same country, Cam landed on Maitimo's people and then the Milliways door opened into your country..."

"It is kind of an implausible series of coincidences."
