[I'm not sure what signals you'd be expecting but yeah, Jackson's an old classmate of mine and he lives with his dom Brian these days. We have a fair amount of air traffic.]

Permalink

[He seemed a very kind master. That is... not always the case where I come from. I would say it's actually kinda rare.]

Permalink

[I'm sorry to hear that, our world's got lots of history of things being bad for subs too.]

Permalink

[I'll need a map to reach the airport, do you know whether Brian has one? I don't have a quick way to copy it, but I should be able to memorize enough to get there if it's close.]

Permalink

[Brian or Jackson, whichever one drives and has time, will learn the way to the airport as part of the task of giving you a ride, we have ubiquitous transmissible maps.]

Permalink

[Neat! Your commerce must look very different from what I'm used to!]

Permalink

[I bet it does but I'm not sure what you're anticipating in response to that specifically!]

Permalink

[Mostly musing that I'm used to different realms, but I should now expect way more differences than what I've seen in the past. Do I go and ask Brian to give me a ride or are you going to do that?]

Permalink

[I'm on it, I'm the one who's looking at what times there are flights available.]

Permalink

[Thank you. You are being incredibly generous with your time and connections and I hope I'll find a good way to repay you with my own abilities.]

Probably won't involve his other abilities, sadly.

Permalink

[Don't worry about it, you're interesting!]

The high circle mage finds him interesting. Generally speaking that's Bad News.

But! She sounds Good, so maybe it's fine? He has never met any powerful Good people. Misroi was... probably not Neutral. Definitely not Good.

 

Wait, is she flirting? No, most definitely not. They haven't even met yet. Is she hot?

Permalink

[I'm always glad to provide entertainment.]

There. Plausibly deniable. True both literally and figuratively. Soooo smooth.

Permalink

[Anyway, I've got you a flight for this evening, Brian'll drive you. Some people get queasy in cars and also in airplanes but this is not dangerous apart from the risk that you'll throw up.]

Permalink

[I've used Fly a lot. I won't be at risk of throwing up.]

And well, Prestidigitation exists, so if he's wrong it's not a big deal.

[How will I find you at the destination? Do you live near the airport such that I can just walk to the meeting place?]

Permalink

[I live near the airport and will meet you there. Does your translation spell let you read and if so how is it at symbolic iconography?]

Permalink

[It does reading, but the spell only allows me to give someone else languages I know, it wouldn't help with yours. This telepathic link is also doing some translation but...]

He looks around for words written around him.

[... yeah, no, I'm not getting the ability to read your language, unfortunately.]

Permalink

[Okay. I'm gonna ask Jackson to write you some notes to show people, then, in case you get lost.]

Permalink

[That's very thoughtful of you, thank you! I guess I can... wait outside their door for the driving? Brian really didn't seem keen on having me inside.]

Permalink

[I mean, anyone would be alarmed by someone teleporting into their house, I'm not sure he's averse to having you around from a calmer frame of mind, but I can ask.]
