Jubal turns around. His mind goes <!> and he starts talking, some of the relevant meaning coming through the telepathy: <Why didn't you say anything?> He inspects the leg, talking <He won't be able to walk. Needs healing-> more talking <only personal range healing->

Eventually, he turns back to Dante and Adrianna. <Where is the hospital. And you wanted us to hide our wings? Why?>

Permalink

<I don't know what they'll do about wings!> responds Dante. <Wings: not normal. Telepathy: also not normal!>

… Hospital is vaguely thataway.

Permalink

"Do I need to do anything –?"

Permalink

"I don't know," says Dante. He relays the question.

Permalink

<I think I can carry him, but wouldn't refuse any help. I figured wings wouldn't be normal in the human world. Is telepathy illegal or just uncommon?>

Permalink

<Nonexistent. Fictional.> He moves to help carry the injured winged person.

Permalink

Jubal gives him a confused look.

Permalink

Injured winged person is compliant. Jubal asks him something and there is another exchange of words.

Permalink

Which leaves Jubal nervous. <Herod,> this is apparently the other's name <just told me there is a chance that this is a completely different world and I feel like a idiot over not asking if 'Earth' stood for the world or for the country.>

Permalink

<Earth is the world. The country is the United Kingdom.>

Permalink

Jubal says something expletive. The telepathy helpfully communicates the meaning. <Well, that changes things. ...I was modelling the situation differently, if we do go to the hospital what do you think it will happen? How long until we get to a healer?>

Permalink

<… Uh. It would be a doctor instead of a healer, because they would be nonmagical, because magic is widely considered fictional.>

Permalink

<Which rather complicates things if we are stuck here for who knows how long.> He thinks for a moment. <Do you think the doctor is going to fix Herod's leg in less than an hour?  If not, it might be worth getting him to memorize the persona-healing spell himself instead.>

Permalink

<It's not going to be completely fixed in an hour, no, all they'd do is put it in the right position to heal normally.>

Permalink

Anna tugs at Dante's shirt. "Any chance I can be looped in?"

Permalink

He looks at her, then back, and asks: <Can we get my friend in on this conversation?>

Permalink

<I have a version that connects everyone I'm currently touching. It can be harder to filter thoughts that way, though. But if both of you are okay.>

Permalink

Dante pulls a little bit of a face, then checks that's okay with Anna.

Permalink

"Telepathic Chain!"

Permalink

<It's good to be part of the conversation.>

Permalink

<Hello,> she says. <I'm Adrianna.>

Permalink

<Dante,> he reintroduces himself. <I think we're thinking hospital won't be useful, since they have magic and doctors aren't magic.>

Permalink

<Herod, it possibly won't. I'm concerned with being too disruptive."

Permalink

<I think… that's wise. Depending on what injury you have, I don't expect them to do more than just bind it into the right position and ice it if necessary – I don't have much medical knowledge. It's unlikely to help over the course of hours.>
