Edarial is nine, and he's avoiding his mother again.
Exploring the palace gets old after a while, but the library's even worse, and he suspects that if he spent any more time in his room, he'd scream. So, exploring the palace it is. Berathyme's with him, anyway, so the palace won't be so boring. She tends to make observations he didn't notice himself, and that's always interesting, if not always useful. Corridor, corridor, guest rooms, oh yes that is the closet with all of the uncomfortably looking coats, he'd forgotten about that one. Berathyme observes that they've been used relatively recently, some poor souls must have suffered - and then he opens a door and there's something he doesn't recognize.
He stares at the bar in confusion, consults briefly with Berathyme, and then wanders in.
What exactly is going on here?

"Okay! If I get tired I'll just nap by the fireplace so I don't wake you up."

And Shell Bell reads, and naps, and coasts on her magic calories, and reads more.

And then, Edarial is back up and wanders in.
"... Hey, Bar," he asks. "Does the - time thing wit the door possibly interfere with getting a new set of spells?"

According to books from your world, your spells should reset when it is midnight in whatever time zone you bound your familiar. It is still whenever it was when you opened the door, in that time zone.
"...oh," says Shell Bell.

"If I hadn't of used spells before I got here, I could have gotten you the cornucopia hex."

"You can leave things with Bar, if you want. If you find it again even if I'm not here you can give her the hex for me and the next time I'm here it'll be there."

Hug.
"I've got one spell left," he offers. "It can be the meal spell, or I can look for another one that might be better?"
