"Yeah, we actually have those here. I just meant it was magic in the sense that that's--sort of the opposite of you calling things here 'science' versions of what you're used to."

"Yeah, that's reasonable. I do it most of the time too, but most of the things are actually magic."

"Well, the game itself is on the crystal ball, and the crystal ball is magic."

"This is true!"

"Ergo, magic minesweeper."

It isn't much longer before Imliss arrives.

"We're going to pick Idaia's sister up at the airport, you wanna come or meet her when we get back?"

"I'll come! I want to see the science airships!"

"Cool."

The airport: contains science airships.

Cooooooooool.

Imliss comes out of the departure gate with a suitcase rolling behind her and a bag slung over one shoulder. She makes a beeline for her sister and the two hug tightly for almost a minute before she disengages and says, "So! You must be Bella."

"You must be Imliss! It's nice to meet you."

"I am Imliss! It's wonderful to meet you as well. Thanks for helping with my sister's emotional health."

"It is both my job description and way less than I owe her for a ticket out of my world!"

"I have heard enough about Materia to find that plausible."

"It's been positive-sum all round. I enchanted you some boots."

"I heard about the boots! I will probably not be quite as excited about them as Idaia because I don't have a Quendi spouse to make the physical differences immediately relevant on a day-to-day basis, but I'm still grateful."

"They're fun. I'd have made a more specialized present but I'm still rebuilding my repertoire."

"I'm sure they're lovely. Daphne mentioned that you enjoyed having science explained to you and were trying to figure out how to integrate magic stuff with science technology?"

"Yep!"

"I'm a mechanical engineer! We should talk about that stuff."

"Sounds awesome. What sorts of things does mechanical engineering specialize in?"

Imliss explains mechanical engineering.

Bella is fascinated for the entire science carriage ride home.

Imliss will also solicit information about magic.
