Alser's granddaughter has the same suggestive "power" blessing from her first set of three that Kiri has. Her other blessings aren't torz either - flexibility is coru, loyalty is hunti - but she is torz, and Alser's current best guess for a successor. She's about the elder prince's age, just a little older than Kiri. Alser asks Kiri if he might visit her at home with this grandchild-of-interest in tow.
Kiri says sure, why not.
And so Alser and Patience Frothen - who is only named for the blessing of patience, and does not wear it in her hair - comes to the house not too long after the princes do.

"I think it's more fun when everybody draws for everybody," says the elder prince.

Isten giggles a little at his contentment.
"Recognize that, huh?" says the elder prince, smiling. "I got joy this time, look." And he shows Isten his coin.

Isten smiles tentatively at him, and dares to comment, "It's nice here."
Then he gets his brother to pick him up. They stir their blessings back in, and Isten draws:
Joy for Jayce - he recognizes it and smiles.
Health for Patience - his brother murmurs the word to him as he hands it over.
And for his brother, luck.
"You know that one, right?" says the elder prince. "'Cause it's in both our birth blessings." Isten nods.

Patience stacks all her coins on top of each other, kisses them, and tosses them back in the bin.

Jayce returns his too. "I wonder how long one has to stir around before you can't read it anymore and it turns into a ghost coin. Ages, probably."
"Yeah," says the elder prince, dropping his luck coin back in the bin. "Unless it's made of something softer, I guess. If you made blessing coins out of gold I bet it wouldn't take that long to ghost 'em. And it matters how busy the temple is, too."

"Some of the temples have gold ones." Jayce stirs his hand through the chapel's supply. "I think these are copper. They look like copper."
"Yeah," the prince agrees. "I dunno for sure, but they look like it."

"So you both got luck, did I understand right?" Patience asks the princes.
"Yeah," the elder prince confirms, glancing down at his hands - no, he's not wearing the rings today. "Mine's surprise, luck, imagination; his are luck, resilience, resolve."

"Would've expected at least one contentment in there. Maybe three," teases Jayce.
Isten giggles.
The elder prince smiles slightly.

Jayce isn't wearing his blessings today either. "I'm hope, love, and synthesis," he volunteers.
"Ooh, fancy," says the elder prince.
Isten looks up at Patience. "What are yours?" he asks quietly.

Patience touches each clip in her hair in turn. "Power, and loyalty, and flexibility."
"Thank you," says Isten. His brother ruffles his hair.

Patience ruffles him too. And his brother for good measure. They're so rufflable.
The Frothens stay for a little over a week and then they depart, with Patience hugging the elder prince goodbye and venturing to shake Kiri's hand before she goes.

Isten dares to claim a hug of his very own on her way out.
