Glass's witchy robes flutter. "Sorry," she says. "Fortunately, though, the fact that we're all connected up again means that the local coin supply isn't nearly as bottlenecked as it was a couple weeks ago."

"I see no reason not to offer you as good a copy of your alt's power as a hexagon can supply, if you would like."

"I would very like," says Elasirae.

Hex.

Glass pulls her marble out from under her shirt.

Elasirae snakes his neck down to get a closer look.

Glass laughs.

"At any time," Sarion remarks, mostly to Sherial, "Elspeth could collect Arianna and Sidanar in the same way."

"I'm not sure how they'd react," says Sherial. "Although I suppose most people aren't going to be suspicious of Elspeth the first time they see her..."

"Most people are not!"

"Are most of me?" she wonders. "I'd think they would be. But maybe they mostly meet you already vouched for by someone they trust."

"You're the first of your template to have met me for the first time out of a corroborating context, yes."

"If it happens again," says Sherial, "expect them to have doubts."

"All right. I can still go get Sidanar and Arianna, if it's time to go talk to them. And warn the latter that she may have a Bondable elf wandering around."

Sherial shrugs, resettling her glittery grey wings. "I won't stop you."

[What,] says Arianna.

(alts and visitors and likely-Bondable and the offer of teleportation...)

[I'm not confused but I feel like I should be confused,] says Arianna. [I'm confusingly unconfused. Yes, okay, you can teleport me.]

Pop pop!

"Hello, Arianna."

"Hello," says Arianna. "There's a lot of, of... I guess you're not Bonded, not all of you... a lot of not dragons here. I'm afraid I might sit on someone."

Isibel hovers a bit closer to dragon eye level. "Perhaps this will help."
