Starlight is back in a few minutes, as promised, with friends. One, a white fox with sparsely-feathered wings that seem half made of light, is almost certainly Charm. There's also an unsettling silhouette that resolves on approach into a long winged snake, and a blur in the air that trails indistinctly behind them.

The winged snake lands a conversational-but-not-crowding distance away and coils herself up. She has dark glossy scales and dark leathery wings, and looks to be about twenty feet long. Charm settles in next to her, with an affable nod of greeting. The blur lands beside Charm, and when not in motion turns out to be a dark-skinned pale-haired humanoid maybe two and a half feet tall, with wings like delicate sprays of long silver leaves, wearing grey leather and a watchful expression.

"Hi!" says Starlight, circling above her since her wheelchair is looking less perchable this time. "These are my squadmates, Charm and - uh, Ebb," he dips his wings at the snake, "and Reflect," the humanoid. "Button and Snowfall are on their way."

"It's nice to meet you all."

"Likewise," says Ebb. "I never expected to see an outworlder in my lifetime. And it'll be nice for those of us who have friends or family in Silver Falls to have the excuse to visit."

"So I'm not accidentally insensitive could you identify your species for me, and Reflect too?"

"I'm an amphiptere, and Reflect is a fey," says Ebb, perfectly casually. "It's all right to ask."

"Reflect's a bit shy," Charm puts in, "but then Starlight talks enough for the rest of the squad put together -"

"What, how could you say such a thing," says Starlight, dramatically hiding his face behind a wing. Charm giggles. Even Reflect cracks a smile.

"Is it also all right to ask if I am allowed to pet people," she wonders.

"Well, the answer might be 'definitely not', but if you're on reasonably friendly terms I don't think most people would mind being asked," says Charm.

"Good to know."

There is a rustle from the top of the hill, and then there is a large fluffy polar bear ambling down it with a large spider perched on her head, dark slender legs visible in silhouette against the bear's white face.

"Button, Snowfall, this is May, the outworlder," says Starlight.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance," says Button.

"Pleased to meet you too," says May.

"I'm told I might be carrying you to Silver Falls?" says Button.

"I'm not very good at walking and the contraption I usually use," point, "isn't meant for irregular terrain, so yeah, that would be very nice of you."

"Oh, that's an interesting contraption," she says, examining it. "Will you want it brought with you? Could be a bit of trouble, but I'm sure the Queen will appreciate that we were nice to her guest."

"I'm a little reluctant to abandon it but if it's very inconvenient I can do without it. I do definitely want the bag on it," she takes her backpack off it, "but I can just wear that," she does.

"Well, how heavy is it - Reflect?"

Reflect flits into the air and grabs the wheelchair and lifts it easily, despite the fact that it is nearly bigger than she is. The blur effect is less pronounced this time, but seems to just be a characteristic of her flight regardless of how fast she's going. It extends slightly to the wheelchair but mostly covers the fey herself.

"Not bad," she reports. "I could carry this. Might want somebody else to roll it when the ground's flat enough."

"There's at least one reasonably long stretch of road between here and Silver Falls," says Starlight, "I bet it would go all right on that."

"Should do unless it's a gravel road or something."

"Is dirt an 'or something'?"

"Depends how smooth it is."

"Smooth-ish," he says. "I'm not super qualified to evaluate road quality."

"I can probably at least push the chair myself then."

"Okay," says Starlight. "So we can get going whenever - or I guess it wasn't necessarily the same time in your world when you left as it was here when you landed - are you even nightfolk, when do humans like to sleep?"

"Humans are usually diurnal but can with some accommodations stay up at night. I would've been up for another ten or twelve hours after I fell."

"Want to get going now, then?"

"Sure."

Button crouches down near May, and Snowfall hops off the bear's head and climbs onto Ebb.
