Iris would like the marble.

Segda currently just wants to lie there. It doesn't put up a fight.

Iris gives back the marble. Iris puts up her bulletins. Is Segda still lying there?

Sitting up, but not going anywhere.

"Do you want something to drink?"

"Yeah."

She hands over her water pouch.

It drinks.

"Do you understand why I did that?"

"To stop me."

"I would like to stop you by explaining but I don't know how."

Buzz.

It sits. It tries to flatten feathers that are out of place.

"I'm going to put up the rest of these. Are you coming?"

"Yes."

Iris sets off to put up the rest of the posters.

Segda follows meekly enough.

Having a slave who you keep in line with lightning cantrips is much less fun in real life than it looks for the villains of stupid children's cartoons.

Eventually the posters are put up and there is nothing to do but wait for someone to be interested.

People do sometimes read the bulletins.

And want to pay the prescribed price for magic healing?

Someone asks if she has a license.

She does, and can show it.

"Can you fix things Ocean Circle can't?"

"Sometimes. I can try, and you don't have to pay me if it doesn't work."
