The Candy Man Can

"It's just--a lot to take in. She literally met him today and now she's something significantly more binding than married to him."

"...I think I'm going to see if that other dragon, Saravasse, is still on that island. Seems like this whole thing might be--relevant."

"Yes," he agrees.

So she opens a portal back to the island. She leaves the micro-wormhole open behind her so Edie doesn't just feel her mind vanish with no explanation.

...And since she is not the telepath she can't just know where everyone is. She floats upwards until she can see either Saravasse or enough island to be pretty sure she's not still here.

A large red dragon sunning herself on a beach isn't very difficult to spot.

Assuming Liselen isn't anywhere obviously near the beach to discomfit, Emily will land there.

"Back so soon?" she says, mildly amused.

"The universe we're staying in has acquirable magic. Which we hadn't acquired before we came here the first time, but have now. And my sister didn't know the warning signs for a Dragonbond."

"Interesting," says Saravasse. "How acquirable is this acquirable magic, exactly?"

"There are these candy things. You eat them and they give you twenty mana apiece and mana lets you operate a paricular kind of the weird weapons native to that universe."

"So, not necessarily of any use to us," says Saravasse. "But interesting anyway. If you find any more acquirable magic that will support a Dragonbond, we'd like to hear about it."
iamnotpolaris: (okay)

[personal profile] iamnotpolaris 2015-12-16 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem. Although I'm not sure how we'd be able to tell that it supported a Dragonbond unless someone else ended up stuck to them...which honestly wouldn't surprise me at this point."

"Acquireable magics that won't support Dragonbonds would be less useful but by no means worthless," she says. "For that matter, has Tialle's Demon acquired this candy magic? What happened, if so?"
iamnotpolaris: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] iamnotpolaris 2015-12-16 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"He was doing something else when Edie started eating the things, I think, and then--well, he got distracted."

"Naturally," snorts Saravasse. "Well, if it turns out that more than one person Bonded to the same dragon can have the same magic affected by the Bond - and I suspect it will; I can't imagine it working any other way - consider me even more interested in new acquireable Dragonbond magics. And you'll have an easier time testing whether they work or not."

"What exactly does a Dragonbond do? I think the only thing I know for sure is that if any other demon had gotten their hands on one everyone else would be doomed."

"At least in this universe, all magic has a cost. Unless you have a Dragonbond," she says. "Our Bondmates can do magic without needing to fuel it in the usual way, whatever that happens to be."
iamnotpolaris: (okay)

"Huh. I'll have to ask my sister how that ends up shaking out for her when I get back."

Saravasse nods.

"You know, I'm used to my life being surprising, but I have to admit, having my sister meet a guy and then end up--engaged in something considerably more binding than a marriage--in less than a day...I have to admit, it's kind of throwing me."

Saravasse shrugs slightly, a fairly impressive gesture at that scale.

"I can see how it might be surprising, never having heard of dragons before."
iamnotpolaris: (okay)

[personal profile] iamnotpolaris 2015-12-16 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think I would be thinking more about that part if she hadn't already fallen in love with him first, to be honest. As it is, it sort of feels like she just eloped."

"It's rare for Bonded to think of themselves as married. The species differences are... significant. But his situation is unusual in more than one way."
