( Well it was worth a shot. He lets out a long breath while he still tries to wrap his mind around the issue. Emil doesn't pretend to understand how this extreme magic works -- whether they'd eventually be plopped back home in real time, stranded in the middle of some Danish forest because they'd been gone for months while everyone else eventually got picked up and taken back. Regardless, he'd never actually thought too hard about what would have been different if that was the case.

Instead he focuses on something else his mind sort of connected together that didn't occur to him until a few moments ago. )
