"Yeah, pretty tempted to fetch Glass, at this point, make her line you up and squint at you."
"Hey," she informs him, "the other three of you are all in one place, I'm gonna get Glass to peer at you and make pronouncements, you may wish to join them."
"Yup. You're actually en route already, they're all over there, see, making each other drop beverages." She points.
Pop, pop, and she is along, in a moment, with Glass.
They arrive just in time to see Merryweather give Keth and Ripper a look remarkably similar to the one Giles was giving them some time ago!
"Oh, now this," says Glass, "is remarkably like the Joker phases, now I've gotten a look at those to compare."
"They come in phases and also in kinds, yes. This -" (she gestures at the Ruperts and then at the Rippers) "is more like the phases."
"That you can grow from one into the other. I don't think it's obligatory and I'm not sure if you can go backwards."
The Ruperts look back. Merryweather starts to say something, stops, and shakes his head; Giles pats him on the shoulder.
"You might also want a look at one of their Raynes. They seem to come with them - Merryweather, have you got one of those?"
"I haven't thought about him in years," says Merryweather. "They're attached?"
"Well, they're four for four - which one should I go look at?"
Keth laughs. "All right, now, then."
"Okay. Lemme just prevent incipient flying squirrel..." Glass wishes on a star, then taps her Janegem, and then they are in Amariah's house in Alethia. "Do you teleport, do you want to lead the way?"
