Ignatius has sworn to me that he will not interfere with our efforts to claim the Mirror, nor will he attempt to claim it for himself while in Eden.

Of course, since he is resigning himself to being primarily a bystander, I've offered him the carnival's protection for the duration, and that we will treat him as our own in regards to his safety.

This is all in exchange for the termination of your contract, of course...

In that case, my priority will be watching over him and keeping him safe should something happen.

[ which ISN'T TERRIFYING IN THE SLIGHTEST except that it kind of is. There's an awkward pause before, ]

Since we will be in Eden and I suspect we'll be animals in order to blend in, do you have any idea what form Ignatius might take?

[ because Strange is realizing his dreams of being a bird might need to shift a little if he's going to be protecting like, a fuckin rhino or something ]

I'm not sure... I mentioned to him that it would be necessary, and asked him if he had any preferences since he'd objected rather violently to his earlier transformations.

I must say, he defied my expectations. He just told me to "surprise him".

Well that's interesting. In that case, can you surprise him with something smaller than a horse? If I take the form of something bigger than he is, I could pick him up in case of an emergency.

[ which is a mental image that's simultaneously adorable and awful ]

I was actually thinking I would go with something quite small, for practicality purposes. Even now, I don't think I could force him to remain in any form he truly despised for long - but if he isn't going to be doing any fighting, then the most important thing is that he be easy to keep a handle on.

I could do the easy thing and just make him a lizard. He's already got the tail and scales. The only issue would be wanting to make sure we could keep track of him.

I can scry on him if he manages to escape my grasp. Also, you could make him a larger yet still small enough lizard. Perhaps that orange and black one? They have it in the Americas, I read about it in a book before.

[ Gila monster. The word that Strange can't think of is gila monster. ]
