Why do you call it fast travel. It was of no greater speed than normal. Going to sleep does not make time speed up. You did Nothing different to normal. I don't understand you.

Ah, we have yet to teach you about Relativity.
You see as you move faster time begins to slow down, when you move . . . Fast Enough time has nearly slowed.
Now while we were not moving any faster than normal everything has its own uniquely defined inertial reference frame, withing this special reference frame the object that it is defined relative to can be considered stationary with all objects moving at slightly altered speeds such that it looks like the object is moving.
Therefore by releasing our senses and instead finding a reference frame that we are moving at that critical velocity in we can travel instantaneously.

Given that we did not ignite the atmosphere, I can tell you with some certainty that we were not travelling anything close to fast enough for relativity to kick in that hard.

An inexplicable wave of happiness sweeps you. There's no telling where it came from, certainly not Order-boy or his friend/split personality/whatever. You'd express this sudden swell of delight with a dance but there are other things you should be spending your time on. Like reading that summoning book Medresi had and making sure the gang all know you're okay.
Thankfully both those tasks can be done at once!
The book melts up out of your hand, already open on the first page. The gate guards edge a little away from you, faint green showing in their cheeks. You ignore them and try reaching for Bass, Baritone and Tenor with your mind.
It feels weird, like your thoughts are being stretched further and further. It's not really a describable sensation and your thoughts don't slow any or warp but they do feel stretched. It takes some real mental effort, it's like you're staring at a Killer Sodoku puzzle that's one step away from falling into place searching for that one number to set the dominoes falling.
Then all at once-
Boss!
-everything snaps into place. You can sense the three Knights of Order and you know with a little more effort you could probably see through their eyes and stuff like that. Connection made you make a happy little wiggle that, in other circumstances, could possibly count as a dance.
Er... is this thing on?
Hopefully that'll work to-
Yes, it's on! What can we do for you bossman?
Bass is easily recognisable, even in telepathic contact.
Erm... Can you three make sure Morlia and Diana know I'm okay? Oh! And Freyja, almost forgot about her. And then get them to come down to the city gates so we can meet up?
Sure thing boss! What about thief-guy?
Shit, almost forgot, tell him and bring him too.
Now that's out of the way you can really settle into reading that book on summoning things. The initial pages are pretty boring, just warnings about how the two parts of each spell shouldn't be attempted separately. Dragging denizens of Oblivion into Nirn without binding them to the summoners will is intensely dangerous, for obvious reasons, and attempting the reverse, binding a normal animal, tends to drive those trying it mad.
That's the gist anyway, you skip most of the detail, and quickly flick through the book. Medresi's scrawled notes in the margins of most of the pages, the added text is so dense on the summon spider daedra spell you can't make out any of it. You start reading the first spell the book talks about, summoning frost atronachs.
It's a bit... dense. Actually it's very dense, filled with technical terms you don't quite understand. About half of them you can sort of work out from the words around it. The other half may as well be written in Arabic.
The rest of the book it much the same, just a smidge advanced for you right now. Maybe Morlia can help you figure this out. More minions are always good, right?
Focusing more on the annotations Medresi made you get the impression she was intent on ignoring the advice at the beginning of the book about not trying to bind Nirn animals to her will. Explains the spiders that did her bidding anyway, sort of.
"Ah... excuse me, the castle confirms your story. Feel free to enter." You close the book and reabsorb it. The guard addressing you shudders, armour clinking, and looks away.
"Thanks!" You say brightly and skip into Skingrad.
"Mara's mercy there's a hole in your elbow!" A flying Diana attaches to your arm and pokes the aforementioned hole. "D-Doesn't it hurt?"
"Er..." you debate how to answer. Lucas and Bass remain standing a little way off but Lucas is frowning.
"Where's Freyja, I thought you were with her." He asked, frown deepening.
"What happened is...." before you can answer Morlia Tenor and Baritone arrive. Morlia takes one look at you and sighs.
"What did you do?"

-[X] So me and Freyja were just walking around like ballers. When this crazy spider mage women kidnapped me! She summoned some spider deadras and ordered them to kill me! But, we all know how that song and dance goes. And I ended up killing her and banishing the deadra.

But what about the dance. As long as it doesn't require hands theres no reason we couldn't have done all three.

"I went for a walk," Morlia's brow twitches, you backpedal a little, "an enthusiastic walk and-"
"So help if you don't give me details I will find a way to make you suffer." Morlia promises, brow still twitching and one foot joining in to go tap-tap-tap on the cobbles. Maybe some more details would be a wise idea. It certainly can't hurt after all.
"Okay, so, long story short? I found the crazy sorceress responsible, got caught in her teleport, managed to defeat her and her minions and walked back here. Short story long? Anything by Dickens." Man, serialised fiction could take ages to really get to the point of its own premise.
"Dickens?" Morlia looks intrigued for a moment before seeming to remember she's supposed to be angry with you. Or at least, mildly displeased. "No, wait, forget I asked. W-"
"Where's Freyja? If you were caught in a teleport spell what happened to her?" Lucas cuts over Morlia, frown set on his face like stone and a kind of manic worry rolling off him in waves. Huh, he must really care about her then. It's cute.
"It was just me in the basement of the house when I got teleported. Freyja was talking to the owner, I think. She's probably around the city somewhere." Looking for you, maybe not worried about your life but probably worried about you in a more general way. Or possibly worried about what to tell Morlia. How would that conversation go?
Lucas relaxes as you watch, shoulders slumping down with the lack of tension and worry and frown lines smoothing from his face. "Oh, okay, good to know. For a second I thought..." he shakes his head and doesn't say anything more.
"Right, before talking to the Count we should probably find Freyja and let her know everything's worked out okay." It would be cruel not to tell her. "Oh and while I'm thinking about it...." You start casting healing spells, sending white and blue light up and down yourself in spirals. Diana pokes the edge of the hole in your elbow as it steadily closes over, crystal meshing and knitting together like it had never been parted.
"So did it hurt?" She asks as you all move off as a group towards the house you and Freyja were at before the teleport business happened.
"Nah, it doesn't feel good but there's no real pain." You tell her. "I don't think there's a real comparison... um, losing a finger nail or toenail? Maybe." It's a pretty bad comparison really, losing nails hurts, but the only other thing you could say is probably shaving your head bald and that's even less similar.
Lucas is walking beside Morlia and chatting with her, not really aware that his words are floating back to you and Diana.
"...pour a bucket of water over Fast's head before seeing the Count." You catch from the thief, and he does the appropriate mime to go with the statement. "Gets the daedra clean and, most important, makes sure your displeasure is understood."
"I suppose so...." Morlia sounds uncertain but doesn't get any further. Freyja walks out of a side street, shoulders low and helm under one arm so she can scrub her hand through her hair. She looks pretty low.
"Freyja!" You yell and everyone on the street looks at you. You wave to her as her jaw drops open. "I took care of the Medresi problem, there should be no more spider problems now." You boom happily.
"What happened! You just vanished into thin air! How, why?" Freyja sounds like she's stuck halfway between wanting to hit you and wanting to hug you.
"Well, you see, I decided to go for an enthusiastic walk and-"
"Fast!" Morlia snaps. You sigh and explain properly what happened.
"Right, now to go report our success to the Count." You clap your hands together happily.
"Er... I have other things to do, stuff to prepare if we're leaving tonight and.... you know business stuff to take care of." Lucas says carefully, throwing the odd anxious glance at Freyja. She just rolls her eyes at him and he flashes her a quick relieved smile.
