space oddity

One day in fairyland, there is an immensely bright flash of light a about a mile above the ground. Something like a metal house is suddenly flying through as if it came through a portal, faster than all but the fastest fairies.

It's flying, not directly down, but still very much towards the ground. It does not take long for it to stop flying and start carving through earth and trees. Eventually it runs out of momentum near a certain lake. The thing seems to still be in one piece, which is rather miraculous considering the two miles of destroyed trees behind it.

After a few minutes, a mortal covered in unusually bulky clothes emerges from the thing. All that is visible is his face. He starts inspecting the outside of his space oddity.

What should I be looking out for? she asks, rubbing at one of her ears.

"Well," she says, voice adjusting before the syllable's halfway out, "you did help me escape Yellow, and you brought me here too."

"We just plain speak. I don't know what it sounds like to you, just that it'll be right. Writing's the same way."

"You might have to get some mortal to transcribe it, then. I certainly can't help, everything I write would come out the same way."

"Another few sessions of sitting there watching them play cards should do it. You I could do now; I will if you like."

Promise looks him over, up and down, and then: he is de-aged to how old he was when she first met him.

"That sounds unpleasant."

"Well, as long as I don't have reason to want you dead I'll de-age you on a regular basis."
