Thinking on it, you are sure polygamy doesn't usually work out well for anyone involved. Also you aren't sure it's legal. Then again the fairy world has flipped a lot of what you thought was possible. If some of the mythology and fables you know are in play, then things could get even more confusing. Maybe you can ask someone about fairy relationships later.
You say your new chef friend seems nice, but you have to consider some things. For one, at some point you may not live here in the base anymore, and would probably have to return to the human world. Emogen would probably not be allowed to come.
"Hmm, that is true. She probably can't transform and stuff like me, huh?" Tamako says rubbing her chin in thought.
Wanting to change the subject, you mention that Kamiko says the Archive has manga, and that she might be able to get access to it if we head down there.
"Ooo! Let's go!" Tamako says, quickly finishing up her plate in excitement to leave.

A short elevator ride later you come to the archives. You are a little disappointed at first because all you see are several computers displaying search engines, but after asking a nearby receptionist if they saw your large friend you are pointed down a hall. It leads to an archive more in line with what you thought a fairy library might be. Though the structural interior still looks futuristic, the walls and aisles are lined with wooden bookshelves containing an overflowing amount of scrolls, tomes, reports, and paperbacks. Some of the books are even floating around in the air. You even think you can hear murmuring coming from a few of them. You spot Kamiko quickly down one of the aisles, and walking over you spot her in conversation with a human looking woman.
Honestly, you didn't even see her immediately. The first thing you noticed was her odd headpiece set on her long, black hair. It looks like a seven pronged star at a glance, but on closer inspection it's a plant of some kind. Along with this, she wears a headband or ribbon across her forehead. Were it not for the headwear though, her leopard print dress and the Usekh collar would probably be the most noticeable things about her. The rest of her outfit is somewhat normal, including thick black glasses, and a cream sweater.
"Hey guys!" Kamiko says warmly has you two approach. She motions to the stranger and says, "This is Seshat. She manages the Archive's physical media. This was the human and his daughter I mentioned."
In a voice just above a whisper the Archivist mumbles, "Hello."
"Hi!" Tamako greets back excitedly, "Do you really have manga here? Which ones? Can I see?"
"Oh yes. The SHR has had reason to produce some over the years, and copies of them are kept here." Seshat says, shrinking back at your daughter's energy.
"Do you have anime?" Tamako asks.
"No."
"Oh."
"Sorry, um. That would be among the digital media." Seshat explains.
The silence stretches a bit as the conversation dies.
