As the many multiversal guests are gated in, singly or in groups, a crowd slowly begins to form in the entry hall. Lioncourt looks up from her meditation break and claps her hands twice: in moments, a dozen automaton servants file out from the adjoining rooms, hands of gleaming white porcelain holding equally elegant china tea-sets. A pair of the automatons open the doors at the far end of the hall, revealing a tiered rose garden, the stone benches dotted here and there ringing a large central clearing.

"Tea is served, either here or in the gardens: I would appreciate it, however, if some of my guests might proceed onward so as to reduce crowding."

"There is always room for more powerful mages. ... so long as they don't try to turn your slippers into chickens."

And then it is refinement time.

And away Aisilian goes. Once he's well clear, the kobold emerges from her bush and approaches Miles, nudging him for scritches when she gets there.

Scritch scritch. "Yeah? Who else was he rude to? Careful like how?"

"Rude of Astra - Astra no do of want of talk, human do of talk, not do of fight," she looks pointedly around at the lack of chaos, "but do of tiny of fight."

"Am see of Miles do of plan of human. Am think - plan maybe do of other of human, plan start, human do of rude of other human, other human no do of plan, plan do of need of other human, danger."

"Yes," says Miles. "And that - thing he did," vague fractalizing-borders gesture, "if I was easier to scare that wouldn't have ended well. I should definitely do as much of his talking-to-people for him as I possibly can."
