[When G'raha opens the window, he may just catch a whiff of freshly baked bread-- it's coming from the bag.]
Hello, dear mentor. I've a few questions for you, if you don't mind. [Then he holds the bag out for G'raha to take. If he does and deigns to open it immediately, he'll find a small loaf of brown, moist banana bread inside, already sliced for convenience.]
I thank you for your consideration. [Ithaqua shuffles further into the room, but still sits on the window sill-- he's just inside enough that G'raha can close the window behind him and not clip anything off.]
You will have to pardon by abruptness, but with recent activity, I must cut to the chase-- I've no intentions of returning to my world and settling there once our overall mission is over. Ideally, I would like to simply go there to collect my mother, and return here, and then follow you and Urianger to your world.
Well, I've some familiarity with how one would travel between worlds in my home, but trying to figure out how we were brought here has been taking some time.
[But he brightens.]
It should be possible, though. I think a breakthrough is only a matter of time, though it may take a fair amount of preparation... as well as figuring out if there is a way to apply it to all universes and possibilities.
[Ithaqua puts a hand over his forehead as if to rub his temples-- even if it's impossible with the mask in the way.]
I take it from your reaction that he did not. [Urianger pls... Ithaqua straightens up again and clears his throat.] Urianger and I are lovers, hence my decision to go to your world.
[Well, he did not see that coming. He didn't even realize that Urianger had the wherewithal to woo someone...
But! It's a good thing, right? So there's an excited wiggle to his tail when he replies.]
You two have my congratulations, then. It does explain much of your desires to move to our world, but I am glad you have found someone you care for in such a way in a time such as this.
[Ithaqua gives a nod. He's glad that G'raha didn't react with overt surprise.]</small.
Thank you. It's why I'm here-- while settling in this world is also an option for me, I would rather be with him. Hence all of my questions.
I've a few more, if you don't mind.
I have been collaborating with Ginger about this, and he asked me to ask you these.
Ginger is of the opinion that we could carry an item from this world with us to act as an anchor when we're prepared to return after a jaunt to our worlds. He's very insistent on this method, and the questions from him are coloured with this perspective. [He's like a hunting dog focused only on a single thing. It's endearing... but also frustrating sometimes.]
He would like to know if an attachment to both worlds we're attempting to visit are equal... and how this would affect our ability to move to another that we have never been to before.

after westies return
[Yaho--
There's an Ithaqua at G'raha's window, tapping at it to be let in. At least he's not empty handed? He has a small bag in hand.]
no subject
...His room is right across from Ithaqua's?!?
He opens the window, head cocked to the side.]
May I help you?
[what's in the bag... it better not be gruesome...]

I don't mind at all. Ask as many questions as you like.
[Is it okay if he eats some bread now... It looks so good...]

So, you wish to find a way to travel between worlds?
[This is the second time a North has entered his window to talk about world hopping...]
Am I on the right track with that?
no subject
[That's quite important to him, honestly. Just as important as following Urianger.]
Returning to my home world is not important to me once I've accomplished that.
no subject
[But he brightens.]
It should be possible, though. I think a breakthrough is only a matter of time, though it may take a fair amount of preparation... as well as figuring out if there is a way to apply it to all universes and possibilities.
no subject
[Surely that would be easier, right...?
Though he's momentarily forgetting other agendas like the questions Ginger asked him to ask, and the truth about him and Urianger.]
no subject
[And maybe he wouldn't fuck it up next time and only get the soul...]
no subject
[A pause, before:]
Has he told you? [About their relationship, that is.]
no subject
He blinks.]
Told me what?
[So, no.]
