Snuggle.

It occurs to him a bit after he starts singing that maybe magic songs don't work here but he tries anyway.

She does, in fact, fall asleep.

Oh good.

She descends.

"Okay, so, I am under the impression that everyone human who is neither pregnant nor a child is now aging a million times slower than they were. They don't have a birth control solution for us but that's fine, we can get that from other places. Does anybody want to go back to the demiplane immediately."

No one seems to be in a huge hurry.

"Okay. They want an hour of time to do things before I move them, which means I can't send anyone from this universe back to the demiplane unless we want to take a break. I should be able to move the people from other universes back without it affecting anything, if anyone would prefer that."

"I'd like to go back, then. I think."

"Are your people going to be settling here?" he asks Imrainai. "Or going back and forth?"

"I think we'll probably eventually stay somewhere in this universe rather than the demiplane, once the Quendi have places for us. But of course nothing's very certain yet, and it might be a while before we have a permanent place."

Nod. "Channeling divine energy works here. I think our gods will be able to find us."

"Well that's good. Right?"

" - I guess it depends what you think of our gods but I think it's good. Especially if the evil ones are defeated as Elizabeth intends."

Nod. "Well. We need about all the help we can get, I guess."

"Once my world is unpaused I think they'll be a lot of help."

"Well, good. 

"Are you staying here for now, or were you going to go back - ?"

"- I think I should stay, probably. I expect I'm needed more here. But if you'd rather we go -"

"No, no, I don't care. - I mean, uh. Thank you. We would be happy for you to stay."

"Oh, good. And I'll talk with Mathrael about, uh, you."

"Oh! I thought - we still might not end up going to your afterlives. I think people's plan is pretty much to avoid dying, right now."

"I - couldn't have children who were going to stop existing. But - it doesn't really matter if they switch to another plane after seventy years, I don't think, exactly."

"Oh. Well. Okay then."

"I won't talk with her if you don't care to entertain any such inquiries."

"No, I - uh. Go ahead. I think. Like, I don't, uh, know enough to - I'm assuming this is, like, a very preliminary step, for you."

"Yes. I mean, you wouldn't do it if you're not ready to get married, but you are supposed to do it before you start having any feelings or before you know if it's a good idea."
