"Aha."

"Most people don't fly even if they can."

"Too uncomfortable?"

"It's often more about the mental effects than the pain but yeah."

"What things do people commonly do with magic?"

"Healing, engineering, practical bloodworking, chemistry, manufacturing..."

"Practical bloodworking?"

"Manipulating underblood. Good for creating more productive strains of crops and livestock and prettier flowers and eliminating genetic diseases from embryos and so on."

"Oh, I see. Valinor has a very managed ecosystem, I wonder if the solutions overlap much."

"I dunno but I bet it'll be fascinating to find out!"

"Various people including the Valar will be investigating my disappearance, but I don't know what the timeline will be on their fetching me back if they can do it at all. Is it likely to be manageable on this end?"

"...I do not actually know. If anyone can do it it's probably Atennesi."

"Well, I will be pleased to make his acquaintance."

"Well, let's go see if the school administration will go get him."

"By all means lead the way."

The twins lead her to yet another building, through more Sufficiently Pretty gardens, to what appears to be an administrative building.

"Hello," Illia says to a secretary. "Someone from another plane of existence landed on my theoretical bloodworking class." And she shows him the note. He examines it for a while and then looks up at Mirelote.

"So you're the supposed outworldly visitor?"

"Yes, hello. My name is Mirelóte Ambela."

"You seem to speak Genoshan pretty well," he says doubtfully.

"I have a very good memory and a friend who would be ashamed of me if there existed phonemes I couldn't pronounce. Odette and Illia have been very helpful."

"Okay," he says. "Well, this is enough evidence that if you're playing some kind of elaborate prank I won't get in trouble for it. Gimme a sec, I'll be right back."

"Of course. Thank you."

He leaves. He comes back with a woman wearing nicer clothing.

"Hello," the woman says. "Mirelote Ambela?"

"Yes, hello."

"Hello, my name's Serah Baum. You're from another world?"

"Planet at least, possibly world altogether."
