Notes: This was actually the first I finished. HAPPY BIRTHDAY btw???
Also I'll try to catch up on the other fics between today and friday siiigh
There were many advantages to living in a cosy bubble of reality.
Being a mage of void stuck in a bubble he didn't control wasn't one of them.
In fact, most of it was crap. No calming void to go out to. No key to call in soothing storms with. No frolicking dragons, no intelligent elementals to have a conversation with. Not that the place didn't have any intelligent people, but most of them ranged from too smart to have an attention span to smart and psychopathic, and to be honnest? Laenan could do without either of those.
There were advantages, don't get him wrong. The fact that said psycopaths were rendered mostly harmless and didn't have a key to send construct soldiers after him was a major one. The food was another.
He was still trying to decide whether T'omar's presence was a good or a bad thing. You'd have to ask him after a few more weeks of going crazy in this cosmic enclosed space.
"From what I understand, you're pretty much here to make sure I don't lose my mind and start murdering people left and right. How does that make you feel?"
"Doesn't sound too different from my usual mission statement. Can I have more of that mate?"
Providing T'omar with a drink that gave you most of the effects of caffeine without the inconvenients was one of the many things Laenan thought might backfire dramatically. He should see if there was a workaholics anonymous group somewhere in the activities they were offered. Considering the crowd, there probably was.
"How do you even keep this active? There's nothing to do here, don't you ever get bored? Or, you know, feel a sudden craving for a bit of fireworks?"
"You know what's your problem? You need to go out. Make some friends. There are so many interesting people here. The kids love going around spreading rumours, and the girl with the horns and green lipstick? She's an awesome listener."
Leanan stared.
"... so what you're saying is?"
"If we're stuck in their careful hands... we might as well have a hand of our own."
"... have I ever told you how happy I am that I put you in charge?"
"Yes."
