"Anyway," says Iobel. "It sounds like you need to be in this world for a while, but I'm not sure how we are going to explain both suddenly having identical twins. Who are, I think, slightly younger than us. Did you come with a plan for that in mind?"

"Yep, I can cast notice-me-not spells on me and Adarin and we can follow you. The drawback is that you won't be able to see us and he won't be able to see me - I will still be able to see him because I have a blessing that covers this sort of thing - but we will be able to follow you until you tell us all clear."

"I will endeavor to be a duckling," says Adarin dryly.

"Assuming you want us in your place, of course. If you don't we have sufficient stuff to camp out and I can fly around on this thing," she gestures with her cloud-pine, "to someplace appropriate for camping."

"I don't see any obvious reason you shouldn't be in a palace guest room as long as you are unobtrusive as you say."

Permalink

"Agreed."

"Good, I can leave the camping to my sister."

"Should I cast those spells now or is there more to discuss first?"

"I can't think of anything we need to discuss right now." He looks at the other married couple. "You?"

"You'll be able to hear us if we think of something to say on the way there, yes?"

"Then, no, nothing we couldn't handle indoors."

Edarial nods.

"Then in that case - all free for spelling, I am excited to be doused in herbs."

Isabella kisses him, rummages in her portal bag, comes up with some herbs, douses him in them, and recites her verse. He is unnoticeable. She does the same to herself. She is also unnoticeable.

"...Okay," says Iobel. "Home, I guess."

Permalink

"Home," he agrees.

Adarin likes his wife's magic, but he kind of wishes he could at least like - hold her hand while she was unnoticeable. Oh well. He will follow Iobel and Edarial.

"The canal boats might be awkward," remarks Iobel as they head for the exit of the garden. "But you - they - it is hard to address unnoticeable people - flying would be a reasonable way to follow us, we won't be traveling that fast or become untrackable at any point."

...Now Isabella has to figure out how to wrestle Adarin onto her cloudpine while he's incapable of paying attention to her or anything she does. Well, if she can't manage it she can break his spell and start over while he's on the branch.

Permalink

While he is briefly confused by being wrestled onto a branch, he is still capable of logic, and puts the pieces together as to why he's being wrestled. So, he doesn't resist. Onto the branch he goes!

Permalink

Okay, cool. Isabella will fly after the canal-traveling monarchs.

Permalink

Walk walk walk. Boat boat boat.

All of those things!

Edarial isn't very talkative on the trip back to the palace.

Neither's Iobel. Well, she's talking to Cricket, summarizing the conversation for him, but not otherwise.
