Hey! How long are you here, we've got some more tests.

Not very, but if you've got a couple of quick ones I'm not in too much of a hurry. I'm really here for Maitimo, though; they've gotten their hands healed up and would like something to do, I suggested making necklaces for me to enspell but we need tools and maybe supplies.

Okay, can do. Is he not ready to come home and King, that's what he's best at.

Not yet. As soon as they can walk, I think.

Walking hasn't got much to do with Kinging but okay.

I'll let them know you're waiting.

Thanks. I'll get you stuff for necklaces.

Thanks.

And he does that.

And she takes them to the cave.

Talked to Carnistir a little. They don't seem to think not walking is a good reason for you to wait on going back, but they didn't push about it.

Me potentially not being safe is a better reason to wait on that and he knows it.

Mm. Should I tell them that? I was going to go back, I think we can squeeze a couple tests in this morning.

If you get a chance, yes.

She nods.

How will you know, anyway?

I don't think I can. They might not ever be safe. Or I can swear it but then it'll be really ugly. If.

Oh.

Might be something I haven't thought of.

I don't think I actually told you about that one hex. It's really gentle for a hex but you'd still hate it, I think.

What does it do?

Pins someone to a place. They can move - I can make it so they can walk around a little, even - but they can't leave.

Quendi'd die. After about a month. We have a thing about imprisonment.

I mean, I can make it so I can stop it. And if you go violent and still are a month later I'm not sure what else we could even do at that point.

Kill me, obviously; the problem is that I assume I'd choose an inopportune moment to go violent, when lots of important people were in reach.

Yup. Give it a sound trigger, let anyone who needs to know know. I can set it up so I can deactivate it and do a new one with a different trigger if someone who shouldn't know the password finds out.

Would it be on all the time? If not, what starts it?
