"Well, we'll reconstruct it and make lots of copies, you can be in the research arm of my school. Anybody know how long the spellbinder knockout usually lasts?"

"No idea, sorry. We could maybe mirror Hex and ask...?"

"I don't think it matters. I'm staying here until he wakes up regardless of whether it's another five minutes or several hours."

"Good point. Not worth bothering them, then."

Phix snuggles her coughing boyfriend. "Note to self, do not be interrupted while incanting," she mutters.

Permalink

The coughing has gotten to be less pronounced, but - yeah. Still coughing.

"Speaking of. Um. Adana? Can you...?" She motions to the remains of Max's previous meal.

Permalink
"Oh, uh, yeah."

And now there is no more vomit on the ground.

"I think I'm superfluous here," Spring says, and she departs.

"I'll stick around in case the dragon decides to continue to be dangerous under several tons of osmium."

Permalink

"Same."

Max snuggles his magic fairy princess kitty. He's not going anywhere.

Permalink
"Meh. I've got magic to study up on. Good luck with the dragon, come get me if you need me."

And she too departs.

His magic fairy princess kitty is happy to be snuggled.

And eventually, the dragon opens one slit-pupiled golden eye.

"Hello," says Adana, almost pleasantly.

Max gives the dragon a death glare.

The dragon attempts to shift his bulk.

It appears he is not stronger than the lumps of osmium around his wrists and ankles and neck and tail and wings.

He growls.

And that causes Max to smile. Just a bit.

"Your show, Phix," offers Adana.

"I hardly know where to start. It's not every day I have the guy who's been trying to have me killed, kidnapped, and tortured at my mercy in my - is this a stronghold? I think it's a stronghold. In my stronghold."

"Phix," snorts the dragon.

"It's short, it's memorable, it's punny, and since there aren't any other sphinxes around, it's unambigous," snaps Phix.

"Sphinx Coalition?" writes Max, raising an eyebrow.

Permalink
"There must," mutters the dragon. "If there is you there must be more -"

"There was my mom. Would you like there to be more sphinxes? I have a friend who can resurrect the dead. We can fetch some more sphinxes. We've been waiting because if you were just going to kill her again it'd be pointless, but now here you are. At my mercy. In my stronghold. Totally, spectacularly mistaken about how many of me there are, rather hilariously in context."

(That causes Adana to snicker, just a bit.)

"I'm pissed about the torture," adds Max via magic marker. "Instead of asking."
