Mar nods at Ossanlin and grips one of his hands with his right, using the other to draw a peculiar trail of black energy through the air. Mar then draws the energy across the portal and laces it through, strengthening it. "I can help you so that you won't be as exhausted inside. In this form, I have no difficulty shifting states. I don't know why you're helping me exactly, or why I am not bothered by you. But it is significant, is it not? My avatar is ahead, sir."
Mar glances at Thordon with a nod. "You are of the type to pass such entrances with ease. Go ahead if you wish. Much of what the Andalite says is true. But be wary: traveling through this particular dimension can be tricky if you are not used to the effects."

Joanne glances a bit nervously at Elayne and gulps, shifting from side to side. "You wouldn't happen to have any advancements concernin'---mutant properties or genetic disorders? Like cancer or some such ****?"
<You don't even know if this will work, Joanne. She wouldn't know what we meant unless we demonstrated, and that might actually make her cringe and run in fear for all we know.>
<You're not givin' her enough credit, Kess. She can handle whatever we dish out. Besides, she might know."
