And he scurries off.

And a few hours later: Hey, Cam solved the wings problem.

Oh?

He got Loki to ask some Valar if the Elf biology control thing would extend to growing extra limbs along with the rest of you. They're pretty sure it will. If you don't want to look winged in some situation you can turn them invisible.

Oh, perfect! Pop. Hug for Bella, hug for Cam, "wings wings wings wings can I have wings?"

"You can have a wings catalog." Cam hands him a wings catalog. "Entries are rated along all kinds of axes, pick something that handles well."

He reads the catalogue. He makes small delighted noises. He picks something that handles well.

"Color?"

"Can they be like stained glass?"

"Material's not that translucent."

"Maybe I can illusion it with Loki's - then I guess I couldn't use it in Hell, though - blue. Deep blue - it's the color of my half-family's banners and things, they'll be happy I chose it -"

"Osanwë me it so I get it right?"

He does.

"Cool. If you want to change the color you can probably do that by being an Elf, too, or bleach and dye - this is gonna feel really weird, and you will want to not be wearing a shirt -"

"If you'd rather not feel it I can do that."

He teleports his shirt off. "...I think I want to feel it, I'm curious. If I change my mind I'll tell you."

"Goes a little fast for that," Cam says.

"Go ahead."

"Gonna have to let me through the indestructibility where they need to attach, and -" Wings!

He squeals delightedly and flaps and does not take off and tries his standard flight spell for the initial boost and does not take off - "I didn't even use any mana since I slept and I'm out, it's weird -" and then flaps again and does take off and then cackles gleefully and flies and yells "I love you!" at Cam and heads city-wards to show his brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews.

"Have fun!" Cam says, and off he goes.

You're out of mana and haven't used any since you slept?

Yeah! I tried a teleport and I tried flying. And I definitely slept in Hell, I'd teleported there and built my bungalow and was out.

...huh. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem. They might not have noticed, they might just be tapping Huans all the time.

It's much better than sleeping. I don't think most of the mes have slept since they got indestructibility. And the vampires don't sleep at all...
