It's not much later, in Isabella's room, that she asks:

"So... is Alex really a dom?"

"Yeah. I wonder if that's something a psion could fix."

From:

"Well, I could deafen him at bedtime and fix it in the morning, but it'd be pretty useless as a skill otherwise. Not sure what other angle I'd take."

"Magic is pretty opaque to me, but this doesn't particularly sound much different than somehow figuring out what counts as nightmares and then making me not have them."

From:

eclipsi

"Sure. But I wouldn't be able to do anything else with the skill without advertising to light sleepers that they totally want this service."

From:

mrmage

"Hmm, yeah," he sighs.

From:

eclipsi

"So, I'll learn it eventually, but after things I can use more often or to learn other things more efficiently."

From:

mrmage

"Makes sense. I wish there was something like that for magery."

From:

eclipsi

"Poor mages."

From:

mrmage

"...I wonder if that's something a psion could also do. Help a mage bootstrap."

From:

eclipsi

"Maybe. I mean, I could give someone else an eidetic memory after more work beyond getting my own."

From:

mrmage

"I feel like there's all sorts of ways magic could be used in combination like that to get cool effects and the fact that not enough people immortalize themselves and each other stands in the way of that."

From:

eclipsi

"Yeah. You need so much time to get anywhere and there are so few eclipsed that we've got to be missing out on amazing synergy."

From:

mrmage

"Se-ren-di-pi-ty."

Kiss!

Kiss! Giggle. "We're gonna make you and everyone else immortal and raise the standards of living and create a utopia, witnessing occasional kisses is an acceptable price, I'm pretty sure."
