"Oh," says Shen Yuan. "I—hadn't thought of that. I did meet some other visitors today, but—" but he'd assumed Airplane was here for good. Because why wouldn't he be? Shen Yuan was, and—and Janet was, and Susan and Magnus—this seemed like a likely place for transmigrators and other, like, portal fantasy people to wash up. He'd kind of assumed, once Airplane showed up, it was the place transmigrators and other portal fantasy people washed up, along with all sorts of other people, too, of course.
He doesn't know how he feels about the idea that Airplane might go back. It's not jealousy, really; he'd made his peace with never returning to that version of PIDW. But—but they're not going to be able to figure out how to outwit Aornis1 together. He can't show Airplane his Pokedex, or watch him eat pizza for the first time in, like, 50 years or whatever the fuck. Airplane slept with Sagramore, and he's not even going to stick around long enough to find out he's the best dude ever and not just a handsome Arthurian slut! His mouth thins.
