"You can always bring her back later. I have four ranks in portals now, we don't even need to keep monopolizing Lisao's mom."

“That’s true!”

"I don't have four ranks in anything, I took a thing that means I start smaller and grow more. But also a lifeweaving tiara."

"I also took a lifeweaving tiara!"

“I didn’t go with that but I was tempted, they’re real neat.”

"If anybody is trying to be dead around me I can stop them!"

High five?

High five!

“Do you know a—Bella, you know Caio better than I do.”

"Caio Inacio Nilo Paes Almeida. Brazilian, black, about as smart as me but more math-and-memorization than literature-and-big-picture. - are you also gay."

"Doesn't ring a bell even if I factor out the incidentals that clearly don't always match. I'm bisexual, why?"

"'Cause in that case if you're single I'm gonna have to set you up with somebody, that's why."

"- well I'm not conveniently in a position to return the favor, but good to know."

"Yeah, no, if you're bi you wouldn't be!"

“Caio is Bella’s best friend and both he and I have enormous crushes on her.”

"Which is such a pity because they are both great and I am far too much of a lesbian."

"...oh no, decisionmaking."

"Kanimir's local doppelganger is a girl, so that's neat, and if you don't know a Caio who is a girl makes my life very simple probably."

KATARZYNA’S LIFE IS AMAZING.

“Not that I’m not biased in my own favor but you should meet Caio before deciding. It wouldn’t be fair to ask you to make a choice with less than full information.”

"Well, can diviners find doppelgangers or are we doing this solely manually? In case Bell ought to also have a decisionmaking problem."

Katarzyna’s life is potentially less amazing but what a good point.

“Gods can find doppelgängers, apparently, so it’s the kind of thing that can be done, but gods are more powerful than mortal diviners…”

“Give me a moment to see what I can do,” Professor Belladonna says dryly.

"Lucasta might've had an advantage 'cause I'm her warlock."
