"You ready to head out? I think the door's over here."

Permalink

"Yeah."

She heads over and finds the door. She leads him out. (Valentine follows.)

"Well. I feel like I've done enough stuff today. Tomorrow I'm probably gonna see if I can make the demiplane bigger."

Permalink

"That sounds cool."

Permalink

"If I can figure it out it should let us host more people. Although it might be a pain to get the spells. I'm kind of tired just thinking about all of the stuff I probably have to do later - 

" - ohh, I told the new Imrainai that I'd summon her work crew here. I guess I should do that before I go to sleep. Probably. Man, it's gonna be, like, a couple hundred people, I don't have proper places for a hundred more people to sleep right now - "

Hug. "They'll probably do fine in yurts."

Permalink

"Yeah, but yurts leave a big metaphorical footprint, that's a bunch of space I can't use for anything else. I wonder if - apartment buildings are probably too big but maybe if I try it'll at least alert the spellbook that I need more space? I might need a specific apartment building plan, though."

Nod.

"Ugh, I don't wanna do more things but I should. I'm gonna go back to Moonlight Falls and look up apartment buildings I probably can't make, you wanna stay here or hang out at home for like half an hour?"

Permalink

"Wanna come with you."

Permalink

"Okay." Kiss. 

She can pop them home and look up apartment buildings, then. She looks up the tallest residential buildings in the world, figuring that's probably the best way to send a message to her spellbook, even though she probably won't actually succeed at setting it up.

It's the 21st Century Tower in Dubai. 

Permalink

Welp, might as well try it.

She pops them back and attempts to summon a copy of the 21st Century Tower to one of the big empty spaces she has, mindful of the fact that she also needs the foundation and stuff in order to keep it from falling over or sinking or whatever. She doesn't really expect this to work.

Permalink

It does not.

Permalink

"Welp, can't do that yet. 

"Maybe I should hold off on bringing Imrainai's people here until I've figured out expansion. I guess maybe right now I should sleep."

Permalink

"Sounds good to me."

Permalink

Hug.

Hey Imrainai? It's gonna be a while longer, I think I want to try expanding the demiplane before I bring anyone else here. Might be a couple days.

Permalink

- okay. I understand.

Permalink

Thanks. Sorry for the inconvenience.

And she can go to her demiplane house and curl up in bed and snuggle Connor.

"'m tired."

Permalink

"You're doing lotsa stuff."

Permalink

"Yeah."

She turns telepathy on.

She's tired, and kind of scared that she's going to be strictly capable of doing everything but that it will involve putting in lots and lots of effort for the next several thousand years, and nobody will actually think she's doing enough things or being responsible enough (except him, and maybe except for her other clerics), and every time she takes off work she's going to come back to even more work and it'll all just sort of pile up indefinitely. And she sort of intellectually knows that Hagan and Alex and people want her to take time to take care of herself and only work as much as she can reasonably sustain, but she feels bad about it anyway.

That seems very terrible. He's not sure what to do about it. If this were a fairy court she would just own most of the people and then they would not complain about her as long as she didn't torture them but probably this is not really a solution.

He loves her. She should sleep and be happy and not do awful stressful things for thousands of years.

Permalink

Snuggle. Maybe at some point she'll have done enough things that people will think of her at all in terms of what she's done and not what she's planning to do, and then maybe she'll be okay with  going a little bit more slowly.

She loves him. It's really really good how she has him here, and she doesn't know what the future's going to look like but at least it'll have him in it.

Permalink

Snuggle snuggle pat pat pat. He should...give her a massage. Massages are good when people are stressed.

Permalink

Ooooooh. Yeah he should do that if he wants. That sounds nice.
