You stop thrumming musical nonsense and ease off the ground.

GENO
"We're sorry for having done that; we meant no harm from it."
"We only meant to experimentally zoom between your antlers, and it appears we had too much 'zoom' and not enough 'asking permission first'."
Antlers' facial features are impossible to discern, shrouded in shadow as he is, but you imagine him lifting an eyebrow. (Do deer-people have eyebrows? You're not about to get up close and personal enough to find out -- at least, not yet.)
ANTLERS
"You've come quite late to this conclusion."
GENO
"The portal is between your antlers, isn't it? There's no other opening here. It has to be on your head."
ANTLERS
"Hmm."

Antlers approaches Geri and leans down for a closer look, just a bit, wisps of something dark and nebulous flickering at his feet.
ANTLERS
"The girl is quite large. If the portal were between my antlers, did you just intend to climb on my head and be done with it?"
GERI
"H-hey, who are you calling 'large'?"
Despite her indignation, though, Geri must concede his point. There's no way she could squeeze herself through the gap, even if it was a portal. She shrinks back a step.
ANTLERS
"I'll ask the questions, now. How did you get here? This Void is private property, shielded and hidden from the Nexus Directory."
"Anyone capable of entering this place uninvited should be more than capable of exiting, and yet..."

ANTLERS
"You're not."
Geri's eyes widen to saucers. A disconcerting realization creeps to the forefront of her mind -- Antlers here might not have anything to do with her certification test at all! As you hover into place beside her, you can practically hear her gulping.
GERI
"Well, I was trying to warp myself someplace else completely, but I must've overshot the spell 'cause Geno exploded, except it didn't, but I didn't know that 'til I woke up here with my wand all melty and my memory borked, and..."
She hesitates.
GERI
"I think that's what happened? Eurgh... my head feels fuzzy."

Antlers seems unimpressed. You hover closer to his eye level.

GENO
"Hey, like, she's got basically zero control over us, so if you're gonna get mad get mad at us."
Geri looks at you with something like admiration. Antlers does not.
ANTLERS
"It would've required an impressive amount of mana to come here; mana which the girl clearly doesn't possess."
GERI
"Right now. Possess 'right now'."
Ignoring Geri's interruption, Antlers continues:
ANTLERS
"You, however..."
"A Soul Vault this durable would not contain a mouse."
