They appreciate that.

And he asks someone to go actually talk to the reds while being non-condescending but this could easily get noticed so they'd better not want to do non-red things on this planet. It's not hard to find someone. 

 

And he goes home again and looks for his Peka.

He sits down next to her and puts an arm around her and kisses her. "You look lovely. Did you like the city?"

Permalink

"Yes! It's gorgeous! Everybody's singing all the time!"

Permalink

"Elves love singing! I have a dozen requests to interview you, we should set you up with a full account here so people can harass you directly and then show you how to block them so they can't."

Permalink

"People want to interview me? Why?"

Permalink

"Probably because I was seen downtown kissing you and you have a baby and that's vaguely scandalous and you could pass as some species we've seen before but some people have correctly guessed - they're not allowed to demon-verify - that you are not, which makes you a new species, which is a headline all on its own."

Giggle.

"You can accept interviews if you like or reject them if you like or demand that they bribe you, but the requests shouldn't be going through me. I'll set it all up for you."

Permalink

"Being interviewed sounds like fun all by itself but I wonder what they'd bribe me with."

Permalink

"Everyone having access to all material goods any time they care to negotiate for it does make bribery a little harder. People get creative - don't accept concert tickets, I can get you concert tickets, anyone offering you concert tickets is trying to pull one over you."

Permalink

"Good to know!"

Permalink

"And if there are any concerts you care to attend -"

Permalink

"I totally want to attend concerts. But I'd need somebody to watch Katin, even very quiet babies not being usually welcome at concerts."

Permalink

"Oooh, I bet your alts would babysit."

Permalink

"They probably would! How do I deliver them a baby."

"The big silvery glass building three to our left has teleporters if you ever need one unscheduled, but if you can plan in advance I'd just ask on the crystal ball network and then they can figure out if it makes more sense for them to come and visit and bring their Catherines - and their other kids, in one case - or to invite you over, and arrange transit accordingly."

"I don't think I need to attend any concerts on less than half an hour's notice."

Permalink

"Spontaneous urgent concerts, what will the multiverse think of next!"

Kiss. Kiss kiss. "I do hope no one is inspired by me to go steal people. They won't be princes or the best in the world at singing so it won't be nearly as good. Perhaps I should tell Maitimo to prohibit the practice and give me a special exception."

"You are definitely an especially appealing alien abductor."

"You have a good voice!"
