"Transdimesional veil. Still don't know why this one is here. We just walk through it."

Gem raised an eyebrow. "Nice."

"Okay." She started forward.

"So what now?"

"So what now?"

They walked through, transitioning into a new scene, a wooded backyard of a modern home. The home was quiet, intact, the lawn freshly mowed. 

"We'll just go through the gate onto the street, and get a car there."

---

"I dunno. Breakfast?"

"We'll bring it back later, right?"

"If you consider salt and honey breakfast, sure."

“Uh… yeah sure.”

She walked forward and looked for a mechanical horse.

"That's all that's here."

Lerac pondered what he should do in this sort of situation. "I... I'm really sorry, Haly."

"He's not dead! You said yourself he wasn't dead."

"I said he isn't with Death. But there are things that can prevent that. It's hard to be sure."

"Fine, okay! I'll just... I'll have to find him on my own, then." She paced.

Elan went to the gate and swung it open, then crossed the street to where a 2017 Subaru Legacy was parked. "Here we are."

"How do you know?"

"How do you know?"

"That's a car?" she asked. It looked nothing like a mechanical horse.

~~~

"I heard your mom and her friend talking about it."

He paused guiltily. "I.. may or may not have been awake for the last seven hours."

“No,” she replied harshly. “No. I need… I need someone who can travel.”

"Yep. Just gotta make some keys..." Elan concentrates on his hand, and a pair of keys falls into it. "Great." He clicks the button to unlock the car, and climbs in the drivers seat. Then he opens the opposite door from the inside. "Climb in."

---

"You... didn't even sleep?"

"You... didn't even sleep?"

She did. "It seems more like a horseless carriage than a horse to me..."

~~~

"I tried. Couldn't. Did, for a little while, but woke up again."

"I mean... something like that." Elan reaches over and closes the door, starts the engine, and begins driving down the road.

"Tired, then?"

She grabbed the oh *beep* handle and slid back/down on the seat.

"How'd you guess."

Elan slowed to a stop, and pulled over. "Seatbelts. Forgot about that." He buckles in Aventine, then himself.

"Face. Situation. Why do you think you couldn't sleep?"

Like I was gonna say lol

"I think I'm just too worried. Like, I know my parents are fine, but they don't know I'm fine, and how are they going to find me... You know. All that 'fun' stuff."

"Driving! I'll teach you sometime." Elan starts driving again, following all applicable traffic laws. "It's like... I dunno, ten minutes away."

"Yeah... I'm sure we can get back to the clinic somehow though." Gem says, putting an arm around Kio and giving him a little squeeze.

"How do you plan to do that?" Lerac didn't sound judgemental or disbelieving, just gentle and a bit uncertain. He had never been very good with emotions, his own or others'.

What speed? If it's urban it'd probably be around 45 mph, highway would be 55-70; she's going to be scared either way, but the intensity of her reaction would be different

"Ten more minutes of that?!" she muttered, hand on her forehead.

~~~

"We'd better be able to."

"... Do you want to walk around a bit? We'll probably be here a while."
