Two wizards and two soldiers appear in the desert, a few feet away from a tired slave caravan.
They nod at each other and disappear again.

"If that's what I think it is that's really dumb, you know -" Rabiah tells Pelape.

"He isn't going to get me pregnant, if that's what you're worried about, we're different species and my planet has contraception."

"My entire species is infertile. I could get someone pregnant but I would have to do magic and would not have to touch them. And I would have a conversation about that first."

"Regrettably it is somehow impossible for me to have a conversation with them about that. Maybe even if the express end goal of the conversation were for me to get them pregnant!

"Yes, I know you have some reasons to hesitate about cultural change."
"Trade we're delighted about, though."

"Is Maelstrom one of the torture ones?"
"No, but it's bad enough you don't want a lot of uptake," Ismat says.
"If you can make magic items yourself then you'll quickly be doing that, but also if you can make magic items yourself I'd expect you to have noticed."
