Cam is out flying. There's a decent cloud of atmosphere around the gold plane, now, millenia of demons making air around themselves for comfort and not sealing it up because why would you bother. There's a small forest, here - the effect is kind of ruined by the lamps it has to grow under, but it's still pretty.
He feels an open summons and lets it grab him -

Nod. "Thanks. Sorry, Cam, I - don't have a way to help that at all, but that sucks." Pause. Look of horror. "Oh god I hope Zane didn't go on a suicidal rampage."

"I'm all right, my parents eventually died and I've gotten letters both directions several times - I wouldn't know about suicidal rampages."
And then he disappears.

"Okay, does this mean somebody's gonna teach me how to summon fairies?"

"Sure. Random bound fairy to summon, offer cookies, and send back," says Cam, producing another paper with a circle on it.

"Do we have cookies to off- that is a stupid question. You are a demon."

"You're an adorable demon," says Tony. He takes the piece of paper, finds a marker somewhere - "How precise do I need to get this?"
ask_nicely
"Try to be precise, but don't worry too much if you're off a bit. If it's circle shaped and has all components it will work. Start with -" She points at the proper part of the circle. "That part first. If you do the main parts required to summon something but still need to add the binding to it, it won't matter and the fairy will be summoned without it. Which could be bad, considering this is for a random fairy. The binding's just to keep the fairy from killing you, or anyone else, don't worry, it's not something really intrusive like gagging."

"Got it, okay."
He draws out the circle, plenty big enough to contain a winged person, in the approved order. He has a very precise hand, and he's good at eyeballing the arc of the circle so it doesn't wobble too much.

Here is a fairy. He looks like a human, but a weird mishmash of features - blue-black skin, bright blue eyes that look like they were extracted from Southeast Asian ancestry and given contact lenses, a beak of a nose that fits neither, and curly red hair worn in a ponytail to his waist. He's wearing a kilt and a nice pair of boots and nothing else - it's hard to see how he'd get a shirt on over the gaudy lapis-colored butterfly wings.
"Hullo, summoner," he says with a bow. "What can I do for you?" He eyes Cam with suspicion, but doesn't comment; Adana, with wings off, doesn't register as interesting.

"If that's what's on offer," says the fairy.

Cam makes a Tupperware full of assorted cookies and puts it inside the fairy's circle. The box floats up to the fairy's hands.
"Nice racket," comments the fairy. "Okay, what do you want moved?"

"I told you, nothing," says Tony with a grin. "Enjoy your cookies." He commences the unsummoning process.

"...Well, if you ever need another fairy to do nothing but take demon cookies look me up, I'm Xilandricar," says the fairy.
Cam snorts.

There goes the fairy.
