Warnings: ridiculous spousal bragging

[The camera feed opens up to stunning view of an island. The cameraperson is standing near a grotto into which a relatively short waterfall feeds, creating a glittering mist over the pond. It pans, in a hand too excited to hold it entirely steady, over the lush greenery, showing a gently rolling hill that flattens out into a plain. Mehrak can be seen zipping about, scanning the area and placing markers about the island, though what they'll become is anyone's guess.]

Look at this.

[Kaveh's voice is shaking with pure unadulterated glee and maybe a little bit of tears, but he turns the camera until he finds his target--Alhaitham, a distance away, who seems to be communicating something to Mehrak.]

This ridiculous man bought me an island.

[Has your spouse bought you a whole-ass island? no? then kaveh's got the superior husband.]

[sigh]

How annoying. This place really doesn't make it easy to try to understand why it brings or sends people away in this manner...

Does magic tend to make sense in your world, Azul?

[just. dryly gonna point that out.]

[octoblot]

[Azul just gives Kaveh a raised eyebrow right back.]

In most cases, it does? Do you think I would be a mage capable of creating my own spells and potions if I didn't have an understanding of how to use magic to make those things possible?

[Kaveh holds his palms up quellingly.]

It's just that I come from a place where each instance of magic follows it's own rules and does not need to be consistent with any other kind of magic, nor even with itself.

So in that sense, how little this world makes logical sense isn't a surprise.

[octoblot]

Hmm. I suppose you could have a point there, if magic does not work the same in your world as it does for mine. Regardless, I still think there has to be some explanation regarding how this place summons people from other worlds and dimensions, rather than simply shrugging and deciding it's not worth trying to make sense of.
