Hug. "Can ask him to meet you in Millennia."

"That'd be great."

Request goes through the network.

Olórin would be happy to meet her in Millennia.

"Thank you," she tells Sibyl. "Do we still need someone to teleport around or can he do that, too..."

"Nah, he can do that."

"Okay. I should head over."

"...I would offer to accompany you for moral support but it's probably not a good idea for me to go out of neighborhood. Do you want to borrow Alex or one of my alts or something?"

"- you can just check how it goes, right -"

"Assuming you're disposed to tell me about it when you come back yeah."

And how does it go -

Checking -

"They get along fine, they don't have magic system interactions down yet and both expect it to take a while but should know in a day or two if it's doable."

Bounce.

"Okay. I don't think I need backup, then, thanks - did we actually tell Boots that her Maia tagalong does some interesting stuff in the standard trajectory or did she just learn it in precog, she'll probably want to know -"

"She just learned in precog, I'll send her a note."

"Okay!" And she goes off to actually orchestrate the meeting and is back an hour fifteen minutes later to tell Sibyl about it.

"Welcome back, lovely."

Hug. "I asked Swift how he coped with Saurons being loose."

"What'd he say?"

"They'd be doing terrible things anyway so it's not like fewer people'd be horribly tortured if we were all safe and dead and it's not like it's better for other people to be horribly tortured."

"...that is a perspective."

"I said I'd been kind of hoping for something different and he suggested I ask my evil rapist alt."

"...is that as rude as it sounds, alts are sort of a weird ettiquette case."

"It's not exactly rude but it's exactly as unhelpful as it sounds."
