Amariah recites the entire conversation she and Callahan had to the assembled Bells and Jokers that evening, after Aether has gotten back from the dining hall.

"Should one of us be on opening-lots-of-doors duty?"

[dark_light]

"Yeah, probably - where are there a lot of doors one of us can open without attracting unwanted attention?"

"I want to suggest Emily, I can talk to her for you and she can probably line up all the doors you could possibly want - Emily is an aware building," Aether says.

[autokinetic]

"Oh, that's even better than just a long underused hallway, aware buildings are totally sometimes able to help with doors, Jarvises can do it. Except the Yggdrasil one because he's never had a door open in him before, but if anyone's ever opened a door to Milliways in Emily, there's some chance she'll... Is this also cheating, excessively regular, blah blah?"

Aether shrugs. "I don't know anything about it, but I can ask her."

"Who wants dooring duty first?"

[autokinetic]

"I'll take it," shrugs Aegis. "C'mon, Aether, introduce me to Emily."

Aether gets up and shows invisible-Aegis out of the room and to Emily.
