What's the other half.

A reminder and addendum.

Which is..?

The reminder is that my offer still stands, in whatever form you want or need it in.

The addendum is I've got a new address. It looks a little cramped, but you and your merry band of mystical miscreants are welcome to stop by.

[Then, as a bit of an afterthought--]

Or, I'm just saying it's here if you need a sibling respite.

He won't let me leave.

He--

[Uh oh. Well this went places that was not expecting when he first met Declan Lynch. Don't jump to conclusions, Strange. Don't jump to conclusion, don't--]

The Meadows?

No.

[ The Meadows is sleeping like the dead. ]

I'm at his place.

You gonna give me more specifics, or do you want me to keep pulling teeth here?

What the fuck do you need specifics for?

You sound like a captive and it's pretty concerning.

Oh, right. You're new to this part. Yeah, this is what Declan does.

What, casual kidnapping? Shudder to think what you do for family gatherings during the holidays.

Our family's dead. Anyway, it's not kidnapping. I walked in here. I'm just not allowed to walk out.

Why not?

Ask him. I wonder what he tells people.

[He just might do that.]

Do you actually want to leave?

Yes.

Right.

[There's a pause, and Ronan is welcome to imagine Stephen rubbing his eyes in that protracted moment as he holds back an audible sigh. There's a distinct Kylo-shaped void in all of this that also not been replying to Stephen's messages and all the focus on Declan and not a word about other side of Ronan's potentially worlds-shattering coin is more than notable.

When he speaks next, it's a lot closer to the voice that echoed in the church at the Meadows.]

What is it you need right now, Ronan?

Kylo.

Was he with you? In the other dimension everyone went to?

Yeah.

Reaching through and between dimensions for personal reasons is generally something they frown upon in the Mystic Arts. Usually the sort of thing we reserve for potentially world-breaking situations.

[You know how loopholes work; help him to help you, Ronan.]

[ He gets it, but the snag: ]

I can't do anything as long as I'm with my brother. I'm cut off from my power here.

But as soon as you can leave...

As soon as I'm out, I'm gonna crack this universe like an egg. Better do something about it if you think that's a bad idea.
