May and Isabella write Joel the white stag leader of the Christina Lake Regional Avalon. He is surprised. When he calms down, he has some suggested tweaks, which they make, and then they start envelope stuffing, a task accomplished substantially with magic.
They include, after some deliberation, a fundraising scheme: Isabella can heal people and they're planning to run around visiting lots of Avalons. If anyone would like them to visit their Avalon sooner rather than later, they can bid on the privilege, and while they're anywhere Isabella will heal needy parties. (They suspect, but have no affordances to test immediately, that May might be able to soak up some of the side effects of the healing, like an eaten spell. They mean to find this out as soon as possible.)
Before they mail out the final letters, it occurs to May to call her friends back in Toronto. She starts with Alli.

When Vivian sees her daughter, she immediately latches onto her for a desperate hug and some hysterically thankful sobbing. Thanking May will happen once this is done.

Vivian is thrilled about this, and she will be expressing that fact with- more tears. And occasional mumbles of things like "I was so scared" and Isabella's name.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, just some nutcases wanted to perform an exorcism. May got me and I'm fine."

"I mouthed off to a Canadian priest and they thought I was a demon on the grounds that magic can't create souls? It was dumb. May explained to them that it was not reasonable to expect a demon to spend seventeen years growing up and doing nothing much demonic for no obvious reason."

Vivian is not the world's biggest fan of the church, for a variety of reasons ranging from "lack of personal belief" to "disagreement on a political level" with a stop at "you caused some nasty fights with my ex girlfriend" on the way. But this is a new low, even for them.
"They thought-! 我应该-！"
She switches to Mandarin, but her language only devolves from there. Most of what she suggests is wildly anatomically improbable, but she doesn't care, they hurt her daughter.

May's comment reminds Vivian of the other girl's presence. May may now be the recipient of lots of tearful hugs and babbled "thank you"s. They are even mostly in English!

Hugs. Okay, that's awkward, but this is probably not the moment to discuss that. "You're welcome. I wasn't gonna just leave her -"

Vivian lets her go after not too horribly long, less out of picking up on social cues and more so she's not crying all over May's shirt. She turns back to Isabella. "Do you need anything? Can I do anything? Should I- 坏了, I have to call the police!" She looks between them for help. "What should I tell them...? I can't very well mention a teleporting dragon."

"You can go ahead and tell them that a couple people kidnapped me to perform an exorcism and that they were eventually convinced that I was not a demon."

"But how would I have found- I guess if they think you convinced them- and dropped you at home maybe? I'll just call them," she decides finally with a sigh, and pulls out her phone to dial the number they'd given her. She drops a kiss on Isabella's forehead as the phone rings. "Anything I can get you, sphinxette?"

"I'm still making 饺子 for dinner! Comfort dumplings are important!" Vivian tells her, before the police pick up and she's distracted with explanations.
