"I’m sick and tired of road bumps, and I’m not going to waste another minute stuck in traffic." Lith said.
"This is amazing!" Elfiam was as amazed by the dimensional door as much as the coachman was horrified. "This is a spell. A real spell!"
"Yes." Lith allowed the youth to go through the Steps multiple times and even take a few pictures from both sides with his Tablet. "We can go anywhere we’ve already been, so we won’t need another stagecoach to reach the Park or the Waterway later."
"Wow." Elfiam’s brain tried and failed to come up with better words to describe how he felt. "Just wow."
"Yeah, now you have the whole afternoon to work for another client or do whatever you like to do in your free time. Do you need a ride anywhere?" Lith asked.
"I..." Elfiam couldn’t focus until the Warp Steps disappeared. "I have no plans for the afternoon, but there’s always a tourist group in need of a guide near the Great Theater. Don’t worry about me, it’s-"
"No worry at all." Lith opened a second Warp Steps leading outside the Theatre. "You’d better be quick. If you make a good entrance, you should find your next client easily and have quite the story to tell them."
"Thank you very much." Elfiam’s eyes lit up in understanding. "Call me if you need anything."
He waved his Tablet and disappeared through the dimensional door, where a crowd was already gathering around him.
"That was nice of you." Solus said. "Allowing him to use your Steps and name should make Elfiam quite a bit of money."
"It’s the least I can do." Lith’s eyes were lost in the past, back when he and Carl had been emancipated. "Let’s get inside, or we’ll be swarmed."
The exclusive clientele of the Unicorn’s Pot couldn’t show much of their curiosity to uphold their decorum, but that would end the moment they recognized the Supreme Magus of the Kingdom.
At that point, not introducing themselves would have been impolite.
Lith cut through the bystanders to enter the hotel and swiftly reached the silver pedestal that opened the dimensional passage to the third floor.
A power nap and two hours later, the group split up, reaching their destinations with a single Steps.
"The kids are going to love this place." Kamila sighed, admiring the tall trees and the wide cobblestone paths leading to the various scenic spots of the park. "Too bad that I won’t. I can’t walk too much, and you’ll have to leave me behind at some point."
"Not at all." Lith shook his head. "Where there’s room for two, there’s room for three."
He extended the stroller with a hard-light construct, making one extra seat for Kamila.
"You want me to sit in a stroller?" She chuckled at the idea.
"You carry the baby and I you." Lith shrugged.
"That’s an excellent reasoning, but it can use a few improvements." A few waves of Kamila’s hand and the construct shapeshifted into something in between a rickshaw and a palanquin.
"Fine by me, but you know I don’t need to push it, right?" Lith dispelled Kamila’s creation with a finger snap. "Also, I thought we wanted to avoid crowds, not gather one."
"You’re such a spoilsport, but you’re also right. Let’s ask our baby overlords. Do you have any suggestions?" She covered her hand in Dragon Scales and extended it to the kids.
Unfortunately for her, Elysia and Valeron considered the stroller as a perfect means of transportation and loved the idea of sharing it with their mother.
"They grow up so fast." Lith said with a deadpan face to the flabbergasted people who stared at Kamila sitting in a huge stroller with the babies on either side.
"You’re going to pay for this, Daddy." She said every time with a laugh.
