the emerald isle

Kerron has just gone to sleep. It has been a typical evening, more or less.

"If you wanna go to Ireland anytime in the next five years, now's the time to ask," Nathan remarks. "If you don't wanna go in the next five years we can wait until 2037."

Nathan awwwws.

Maggie claps her hands. "Hurray for magic!"

He giggles. The visual accompaniment fades away.

"And Stella let me off the asteroid and I came here to be the local mint and it's been snuggly ever after," he says, getting out of his seat to give Nathan a hug.

Hugs! Nathan decides to just outright pick up his mate. Chairs are silly.

"Why did she put you on an asteroid?" Gianna asks slowly. "This world's Bella didn't say."

Mm. The Joker snuggles into Nathan's arms.

"Oh, she didn't like what I was getting up to at home," he says carelessly.

"I suppose it's not that different from how our Bella has Pera put people in the hiding place if they make trouble," Maggie says.

[manofmyword]

He shrugs. "You could say that, sure."

"I overheard someone saying she's going to phase that out," Nathan remarks. "Let Pera and Razi both retire and handle things with magic."

"Good, I always thought the hiding place was a little creepy. Best solution available at the time, but not better than something finer-tuned," says Maggie.

"I think it's a little creepy too!" the Joker says agreeably. "And maybe kinda fun. But I wouldn't wanna be there for long."

"Babe," says Nathan, "no one with an ounce of sense would try to put you in the hiding place to keep you out of trouble, and Bella has entire pounds of sense."

[manofmyword]

The Joker cracks up.

"That is true," he giggles. "Ooh, so true."
