" - yes, I do. I will get my Rebecca first, though."
And she smiles at them and gives them tiny bracelets. And an assistant walks them across the street into another glossy stone lobby and shows the girls how they can tap their bracelets to the elevator panel and it'll automatically take them to the fifth floor. 5-R has high ceilings and three bedrooms and a bright airy living room and a dining room that seats fourteen and a big marble kitchen with two dishwashers. The assistant demonstrates appliances.
"- uh -" He picks up the girls, sits them on the dining table, sits between them, and takes a selfie. "- that, and we're okay and there's room for them -"
"Got it. Uh, file formats will be fun and I don't want to bother my neighbor again -"
"Didn't you babysit for him when Kiva wouldn't stop crying for no reason for three weeks straight, he adores you -"
"That was years ago and I don't want him to feel like I only stop by when I need stuff - Kenyo, can I borrow your pocket everything to teleport over and send the email, I'll give it back in like ten minutes."
She picks it up and heads back outside the apartment before teleporting. "Teleporting directly into or out of someone's home isn't allowed except in an emergency," Tannalë says. "First responders are allowed - uh. If, say, you're cooking and you start a fire, or somebody has a heart attack, you can press this button on your bracelet - it's a little tricky to press so you don't brush it by accident - and a first responder will come right away and heal whoever is injured and handle the emergency. They're not law enforcement, they don't carry weapons, they just do healing and emergency services."
"If you call a first responder for that all they can do is continually heal everybody and ask you to calm down. Normally they'd call in public safety, and those carry stunners, but the directive for your neighborhood is to not call in public safety ever, because they were worried that you wouldn't even ask for medical help if you expected the medical help might call public safety."
"So, summoning. The most important thing about summoning is that you can do it by accident by drawing a big circle with writing in any language on the floor, so you absolutely mustn't leave kids alone drawing on the floor. Summoning is not hard to do safely but if done by accident it won't be safe."
