He laughs. "I won't promise; I can't, and if I could it wouldn't be much of an adventure! But I'll try , just for that." It's a joke, but less than it might be. Much less, really.
"But, listen-- I can't guarantee this either, I haven't tested it so much yet--but there's a way I might come back right off, if you think it's important. Don't ask me how it works! Don't ask, for I don't know, so it's no use me trying to explain! Milliways magic; or magic from some place that touches it. Anyway, if there's something you need me for --I can't think what it would be , but I trust you to know if it happens-- tell one of my friends, they'll know what to do. And if I can get back, why, I will; and if I can't, you'll still have all of them to rely on, besides your own family." If the Doors are working, if her family's here--too many ifs to need saying. But his friends will be here, anyway.
