"A flamethrower? Holy shit. Maybe Gerlinde can go everywhere with you after all."

"It was painful but I really do heal fine, being trapped is scarier than being hurt. I checked, they're not bothering anyone else. Is there an exception if the daeva's in their circle or something, the moon guys didn't supervise me -"

"Yeah, in the circle is allowed. I wonder how hard it would be to make a circle for you literally the size of Luxembourg! That would be a heck of a stunt."

"...ooooh. Even if it were just a full room that'd do, I could stay in when she had somewhere to be. But that would be a good stunt."

"I know, right - maybe you could just get up high and make it -"

"If it's flat enough, sure, easy. Might want to triple-check that terrain features don't invalidate part of the binding - I know someone who might know that -"

"Yeah, good thing to check."

"I'll ask when I get home."

"Awesome. You have regular email access, right - how do you even do that -"

"Secret. But yeah I do."

"Okay, so here's my email, lemme know when you've figured out if the Circle of Luxembourg is go."

"I will!" And he asks his summoner if he can get her anything before he goes home.

"...how vague can I be, I had this pastry this one time that was absofuckinglutely divine but I have absolutely no memory of what it was, like, called."

"That's probably too vague but if you know when I could go off that."

"I can figure it out if you gimme a minute to go through my vacation photos." Rummage rummage. "Lunchtime last year July 17."

Pastry! Ten of them, even.

Chomp "omigod thank you."

"For sure! See you later!"

"See you!"

Dismiss dismiss.

And he writes home and goes home and gives Miranda her presents and asks Cam about Circle Luxembourg.

"It's a cute idea but it's not going to work, it has to be pretty close to flat. If you can find a rotary or a beltway that might work, I don't know off the top of my head if Luxembourg has any."

Well, they can check.

Luxembourg is kind of mountainous but there is a large public square type thing in the middle of Luxembourg City which could hold quite a lot of circle.

He sends off an email explaining this.

Gerlinde would love to complete a circle like that, can he make most of it for her? If she dismisses him after completing it will it still count as live?
