"Iron Princess," Tony suggests whimsically.

"Bite me," snorts the iron princess.

"A fire witch is a kind of hereditary magic user, mostly having to do with fire," says Glass. "One married into the royal family a few generations back. It's a little thinned out for my wives. The little ones can handle hot things safely - Carinna likes to play with hot glass - but that's all."

"Kiawen, Tanalin, Carinna - you have three, or are there more?"

"Three. One apiece."

Tony grins.

"Cute," says Tony.

"They are! You met the untwins - do you want to see Carinna too?"

"Sure. Untwins?"

"All three are honeymoon babies. Tanalin and Kiawen share a honeymoon," Glass nods at her second wife, "but didn't share living space."

"I'll go see where Carinna is," says Kanim, wandering out of the room.

"Speaking of which, where'd the other one go?" wonders Tony.

"Away," says Pearl. "Some time ago."

"Hiding-and-seeking," says Glass.

Carinna and her Uncle Kanim arrive presently. Carinna double-takes at the foreign Sherlock. She is completely nonplussed by the foreign Tony.

The foreign Sherlock gazes serenely at her.

"Sherloooock," says Carinna, because Sherlock is the mommy who can always tell what's going on, "what happened?"

"These are another Sherlock and Bella and Tony from another world," says Steel, indicating each.

"...But he's a boy."

"You guys keep harping on that. I can't help it!" says Screwdriver. "There's like six more of me and they're all boys too, I'm not alone!"

"But the Sherlocks are girls!" says Carinna.

"Most of them aren't, just these two," says Shell Bell. "The others are boys. There's also a Bell who's a boy. Just one. He was very put out about it to start."

"I bet Iron isn't put out about being the only girl Tony," he speculates.

"You're so right!"

Shell Bell giggles.
