Bella finds Milliways next, too, on New Year's Day, and calls in Alice (he's not coming to Goldenworld even if they find a person who can take them there, but he might find someone interesting to talk to in the bar) and also Lazarus. She mentions the door to Libby, too, in case she and/or her wolf want to take an excursion and see if his friends and family back home can be visited.

"Perhaps. Is anyone going to be alarmed if we teleport there? No? All right." Bella brings them all to the front door of Marcus's house.

"Their—that must be Marcus?—his power is worshipping his mate bond," he says. "It's kind of sweet."

The door opens. A hybrid girl with almost glowy golden skin and shiny black hair and huge brown eyes opens the door. "...Can I help you?" she asks.

"Hi, Cori," says Addy cheerfully. "This is a witchy person from another world and his Empress. I've borrowed him and we're staring at your dad through the walls. No hospitality is necessary."
"...Okay..." says 'Cori'.

"It's cute?" Cori asks. "Eleazar has never said it was cute."
"Eleazar doesn't think anything's cute," says Addy dismissively. "Oh, we should probably pay him a visit next, come to think of it. And look at Kate while we're there! I bet she just sparkles."

"It's cute," Lazarus confirms. "Although I still think Alice's power snuggling with his mate bond wins the cute contest. Sure, let's go visit Eleazar."

"His mate's not a witch, so I imagine they don't interact, but Eleazar himself should be interesting," says Addy.

"...Huh," says Lazarus. "That's weird. It's like my power's cousin, or something. Great-aunt."

"Eleazar!" calls Addy. "C'mere!"
Eleazar emerges presently, and double-takes at both Bella and Lazarus. "...Hello," he says.

Eleazar dispenses with further attempts at politeness and just stares at Lazarus. Addy, meanwhile, begins humming to herself and switching between both men's powers every minute or so and then staring around her.

"You can translate," Lazarus says to Addy. "What are the differences like here? Ooh, I bet you can't see coins," this to Eleazar. "You don't look like you can see coins."

"...If they're invisible, then presumably I cannot see them, but my eyes do work perfectly well," says Eleazar slowly.
"Try harder," Addy says, swatting Eleazar gently on the back of the head. "I bet you can see some of their magic, even if you can't before it's been used."
Eleazar looks at her witheringly and focuses on Lazarus again.
After a moment, he says, "You are the most paranoid, polyglottal human I have ever beheld."

"One of those actually wasn't me," he says. "Do you see differences that subtle? It's hard to tell. Actually," this to Addy, "can you see who wished things? It's trickier, it's not an inherent property, you kind of have to get to know them. Libby's and Bella's are always really obvious; everyone else is case by case, maybe because I see so much fewer of them."
