I Like Long Walks On The Beach

[iamnotpolaris]

The beach is a nice, convenient, out-of-earshot place to calibrate the coordinates for this universe.

'Where did he even get pants?'

[whatamithinking]

'Killed a giant lizard and magicked its skin in lieu of tailoring.'

[iamnotpolaris]

"Apparently everyone's decent and Tialle's Demon is wearing pants made of lizard," Emily tells Sivath.

[not_only]

"Oh good."

[iamnotpolaris]

'We need to give Saravasse an armband before we leave so the Wild Magic has a way of getting in contact. Do you know if the dragons are decent?'

[whatamithinking]

'Lemme check.'

"We need to give Saravasse an armband. Is now a reasonably good time for that?"

[endragoned]

"Yes."

[whatamithinking]

'Yep.'

[iamnotpolaris]

'Well, you're the one with the bag.'

[whatamithinking]

'This is true.'

"I can tell roughly where they are spatially relative to us but not, say, what a good route to get there would be."

[endragoned]

"I will lead you there."

[whatamithinking]

"Thanks."

[endragoned]

Since Edie has wings and can presumably keep up, he chooses to fly.

[whatamithinking]

This makes sense! She didn't think of it because she's not used to having wings, but it's both faster and more fun.

[endragoned]

Flying!

And there are some dragons, sitting next to each other. Tialle's Demon's Bondmate is noticeably smaller than Saravasse, and his scales are a gradient of gorgeous shades of purple where hers are gold-tinged red.

[whatamithinking]

Lovely.

"Hello, Saravasse," Edie says when they have landed. "It occurred to me that I should probably give you the means of getting in touch with us sooner rather than later, lest something unexpected cause us to forget."

[pythbox]

"Reasonable," says Saravasse. "If only the Wild Magic had thought to send someone with hands on this trip."

[whatamithinking]

"I could probably tie it to one of your limbs or something, if that wouldn't be too uncomfortable."

[pythbox]

"That would be acceptable," says Saravasse.

[whatamithinking]

"Do you have a preference which one?" she asks as she rummages around in her bag for a spare armband and some rope. "Oh, I should probably leave written instructions on how to use it, too, just in case."

[pythbox]

Saravasse peers curiously at the bag, distracted from the question by its interesting properties.

[whatamithinking]

"Oh. This is my bag. It's magic. It carries more stuff than it ought to be able to."

[pythbox]

"I see," says Saravasse. "That's useful."

[whatamithinking]

"It really is." She pulls out the armband and some rope. "Where on which limb did you want it tied so it doesn't get in your way much?"

[pythbox]

Saravasse extends her right foreclaw towards Edie. "If you tie it around my wrist it shouldn't be too troublesome."

"Fashionable," says the purple dragon.

Saravasse snorts.
