Gravis took ahold of the Life Ring but started frowning. There was something he had just remembered.

"Hey, father," Gravis said. "Could you do me a solid?"

"What?" his father asked.

"I don't really want to see Morus again. Somehow, the guy just rubs me the wrong way. Could you send him to the Sky Community or something?" Gravis asked.

"Already done," his father said.

"When?" Gravis asked in surprise.

"Just now," his father said.

"Then why don't you just say done?"

"Because it is already done."

Gravis looked at his father like he didn't fully agree but just let it slide. Gravis turned back to the Life Ring and summoned the occupants.

Gravis had forgotten to tell them that they would be summoned into a small room. Because of that, they all walked around with their true sizes. Gravis got pushed to the side by a wall of scales while his father didn't seem to react at all. His body was probably far too heavy to be moved by something like that.

Whoop!

The four of them quickly realized what was happening and shrunk to normal sizes again. Surprisingly, the room took absolutely no damage during all of this. Even the flower vases, courtesy of Gravis' mother, hadn't been moved.
