Bella drops the Spanish major. It's tempting to explain to her confused teacher, in fluent Spanish, exactly why, but she refrains. Now she only has classes a few days out of the week, and if she loads up next semester and the ones after she should be able to get out of college in three years - though she's increasingly unsure that she needs any of it. It's not like anyone can teach her to teach magic, and she doesn't even know what age group she's going to target with her school, yet - the professors mostly don't have education degrees because if you're interacting with adults, even young adults who are there to learn from you, this doesn't require specialized training. And the universe has gotten so big and college feels very - small.

But for the time being she's still enrolled, though she tends to neglect her homework in favor of working on spell designs to do useful things - to cover gaps in the peal of Bells's capabilities, to sell, to prove interesting theoretical points - and working on her fairy princess magic.

She's blocked on getting her fairy princess magic to produce any non-physical results, like verifiable luck or a ward. She's currently manning the store, rolling dice to see if she's gotten luck to behave this time. (Her luck charm, which would confound the results, is out of her hair and on the counter beside her so as not to interfere with the experiment.)

Snuggles. All of the snuggles.

"I realize that this will be hard to explain back home," snorts Mrs. Adams. "I'll figure it out."

"Your alt in Prime's New Kystle might be a reasonable babysitter if you need to stash her somewhere while you lay groundwork," suggests Ice.

[aestrix]

"... I'd have to meet her, first. But possibly."

[dark_light]

"We could go there now, if you like."

[aestrix]

Mrs Adams picks her daughter up with practiced ease. A mom never really forgets. Especially when she's being cried on by her resurrected daughter.

"Sure. Why not."

[dark_light]

To New Kystle and through Prime's house and to where Lynn lives.

[gentlemanly_fashion]

Savir is the one to spot them.

He looks at Mrs. Adams. And then he emits a sound somewhere between a squeak and a very soft scream.

"Honey! Honey I need you extra now!" he squawks.

[aestrix]

Mrs. Adams quirks an eyebrow, and then murmurs something soothing to her daughter. She was a bit disturbed by the Strange Loud Man.

[blooded_poet]

"Oh, you extra need me, that's -"

Lynn exits the tent. She looks at Mrs. Adams.

"Huh."

[gentlemanly_fashion]

"There are two of you, I'm seriously scared now, what do I do, am I married twice, what is my life now? I don't think the world can handle two Lynns!"

[dark_light]

"If you're married twice now me and my alts have a really serious conversation coming up. No, this is just your Lynn's alt. Who will be going home to her own world eventually and not overburdening yours."

[aestrix]

"You married him?" asks Mrs. Adams, archly.

[blooded_poet]

"He has good qualities. Somewhere."

[gentlemanly_fashion]

"Hey, I take offense to-"

[aestrix]

Mrs. Adam's daughter peeks out at Savir, the Strange Loud Man.

[gentlemanly_fashion]

"Why hello there, aren't you adorable," coos Savir.

[blooded_poet]

"For example," drawls Lynn.

[aestrix]

Her English teacher counterpart snorts.

[dark_light]

Ice smiles.

"Am I required to dispense any further explanations? I suppose I'll probably have to let you back into Prime's house to make use of the portal even if the answer is no. Unless Spring is here."

[blooded_poet]

"Nah, I can get a hold of pretty boy. Be free."

[dark_light]

"Okay. See you around."

Off she goes.

[aestrix]

Mrs. Adams waves.

She looks at her alt.

"Nice eyes."

[blooded_poet]

"Had to be different somehow."

[gentlemanly_fashion]

(Savir continues to coo over Cecelia. Yes, his Lynn's got one of her own, but adorable kids. Adorable kids.)

[aestrix]

"Aside from the obvious?" snorts Mrs. Adams, pointing towards the husband. "Also, I'm a bugbear, don't think you're that."
