And it's quite impressive, my dear. A true accomplishment!

But sometimes we do hit roadblocks even as adults. And since arriving here, I've found myself to be more limited than I am in Hell. I'm still having to find workarounds for those issues even two and a half years later.

[He sets his teacup down before melting into shadow, reappearing behind her.]

Teleportation is as easy as walking for me, but back in Hell I could pull people alongside me as I did it. I could even create portals with a flick of my wrist and hardly a thought.

Here though...

collapses.]

It's quite frustrating. It'd be most helpful if I could create portals like I'm used to. I haven't tried pulling people along during a teleport since I'm not sure how they'll end up once we reach our destination, and I'd rather not watch a companion end up like some of my earliest experiments back in Hell when I was learning.

I've practiced every day for two and a half years, but I only got as far as I do now because while working out a different bit of spellwork, I realized I might have some success if I invoke the veves one by one like when I was first learning than trying to use my usual shortcut methods.
