Linya and Bella are working on wishes, in between light chat about runecasting and their personal lives. It is radiantly obvious to people paying attention that Bella wants to kiss her and Linya is married, although neither statement is made.
Ivans are playing cards.
Mileses, including Solvei, are debating the wisdom of borrowing another strategy game from Bar; Mark, a voice of caution, does not know what will happen if all of them (Solvei, Mial, Miles, Milo, Stalas) all start screaming at each other in twenty directions.
And -

"I could probably make you a Terraria set that would be more and better magic than that."

"Be useful in case the next time I have to rescue Milo from a dragon the dragon isn't so understanding."
abeance
"Milo has chronic smelling-like-a-princess disorder. It causes things to carry him off in situations where this would only be customary if he were a girl. One time a dragon got him and I had to go get him, but the dragon was pretty polite about it and let him go when I explained. I have a version of this story where I fought the beast to a standstill etcetera etcetera but that's mostly for other knights."

Sable giggles. "Oh. Well that's hilarious. So, Milo, have you decided if you want your very own set of candies?"

"I'm thinking yes, but I can wait until you're finished separating those ones for Bella."

"It's a bit of a pain to collect them and they're no use to me since I ate my twenty, I only have this many because I still hold out a little hope that I might find another living person while I'm out exploring someday. Which I guess happened, sort of. But anyway that's why I haven't done any culinary experiments with them. I do not actually even know if they would cooperate with being made into syrup."
Life fruit, life fruit. "Nineteen, twenty, there you go. Stalas, how are you liking your new unnatural health?"

"I feel amazing!" says Stalas. "Can you tell if anything's happened to my weird blood problems?"
greatestgift
"...I'm not sure," she says thoughtfully. "I can definitely tell you're a proper amount of unnaturally healthy now, but your blood is still sparky and I wasn't looking closely enough before to tell if it's differently sparky, or a different amount of sparky, or anything."

The preposterous amount of bruising from the initial scan is entirely gone; his bones are still made of genuine dwarf bone; his blood still sparks with lyrium, but differently. The scanner is still fairly confused about what to make of lyrium, and can't offer a much more detailed analysis than to note that the lyrium-related exotic radiation is slightly stronger than before and appears to be fluctuating slightly less.
"Well?" asks Stalas.
"Well?" asks Stalas.

"Well, your bruises are gone, genuine dwarf bone continues to be genuine dwarf bone, and the odd radiation signature from the lyrium is stronger and stabler."
thisvorlunatic
"...I don't think I expected that," says Stalas. "Although maybe I should have. Still, no matter, if I have more lyrium in my blood than usual at least I'm hopefully going to bruise less. Thank you, Sable."

"It's delicious and nutritious and ever so cozy, I love it. I will try very hard to not need to reconstruct a new organic body when I have moved into my rock."
onceandforall
"In our world there is a fluffy alien which wants to grant us a wish and magical powers in exchange for us using those magical powers to fight despair monsters. The magical powers include 'being, technically, a rock, remote-controlling one's body'. This seems like a pretty swell deal, especially since magic rock people do not die of old age and are allowed to use their powers for whatever they want in the off-hours between despair monster fights."
onceandforall
"The problem is 'a wish' doesn't mean 'literally any appealing thing I can describe in a sentence'. There's an oomph limit. Solvei has more oomph than I do, but neither of us seems to have enough to do anything good and large-scale. We might just wish for more magic powers to help with despair monster combat - the despair monsters fuel the magic powers, which are pretty freeform."
greatestgift
"If you need to combat despair monsters, I'm coming down more on the side of maybe giving you Terraria weapons," says Sable.
greatestgift
"Terraria weapons are pretty exciting. I'd want to make sure you knew how to use them and could, though, I'm not sure where they fall between 'can't use stacks' and 'can eat candy' in terms of things you can do without whatever it is that makes me Terrarian enough to use stacks."
