I'm getting enough to eat this way, so I'm not very inclined to prioritize changing it. Is it terribly inconvenient?

Nope. If you expected to want to I'd want to make sure we'd be able to do that, but being mostly-vegetarian like this for another couple months won't hurt me and by then I ought to have some better options.

All right. Thanks for accommodating that. I don't want you to endanger your own health.

Don't worry, I won't.

The sun has started to set; she goes to watch it.

He does too, and hums delightedly.

She hums along in harmony.

The next morning she pops by the jungle for more eggs, boils a big batch, and stops in to see Findekáno with some of them first.

Findekáno: working. His people are almost all into the mountains. Morning.

Morning. Breakfast?

I am sure there are lots of people in need of it! Thank you so much.

She takes a couple of eggs for him and hands the bowl off to be passed around. Any news from the scouts? Once you're off the ice their return spells are going to stop working, I'll need to work something else out and go give it to them.

The location's very habitable, no people noticed yet.

Sounds good, let me know when you're ready to move forward with that. Is there anything else I can do for you?

I really do want to hear more about you and your world sometime, but maybe this isn't quite the best moment for it. I'm very sorry. 

That's fine, I wasn't planning on being here very long just now anyway - I'll be back in the evening.

I will look forward to seeing you then! How's Maitimo?

Doing pretty well, actually. Still healing, but they've been in a little better mood the last few days.

I am very relieved to hear it. 

She nods. They'll be okay, I think, eventually. I'm not a healer, but I haven't seen anything yet that seems hopeless.

He's definitely going to be functional.

Mmhmm. Getting there, too.

I just also want him to be happy.

Yeah. She sends him a memory of a hug. Think we've got to murder the god, first, but we need to do that anyway.

It needed doing long before he harmed anyone I care about.

I'd imagine. At some point I ought to find a lorekeeper or something and get the whole story. Once you're settled, maybe.

For now I ought to go bring Maitimo's siblings their breakfast - they're helping find good uses of my magic, we need them remembering to eat.

I am surprised they all survived their father's death, honestly. Maybe it's the oath.
