Promise is on her way home when she hears something just about crashing through the woods. What could that be?
She lands in a nearby tree, relaxes her wings, and peers at the source of the sound.

"Well, don't eat the jug," says Promise. "I suppose if you broke it I'd have a weak claim of debt. Do you want me to pour you cupsful before I go?"

Promise is back in a few hours with a bag made of a giant flower petal that contains several books.
"Anything happen while I was out?"

Ted shakes his head. "It was all very quiet and not at all terrifying."

"You could read my books if you like. Fred, if you're hungry, let me know before I start diving into serious sorcery."

"Okay."
Promise puts down the flower-petal bag and chops and mixes things in the kitchen until she has a bowl of... stuff. None of it looks strongly reminiscent of Earth food, though it does all seem to be plants.
When she has done this she portions it - a bowl for herself and one for Savannah - and then sits near Savannah and picks up a chunk of something pale pink and holds it up to be eaten out of her hand.

Ted's hand, meet Ted's face.

Promise feeds Savannah another chunk of something. "I'm doing this so you don't starve, not to entertain you - yes, go ahead, and gatemaking isn't remotely introductory but a starter sorcery book would be the blue one third shelf up far left."

"Thank you," says Ted, and he goes and retrieves the book and starts reading.

"Just keep it to a reasonable level."
The chunks of stuff have various textures and flavors, some of which could be described as something as mundane as "a cross between artichoke and persimmon with the texture of a dried papaya" and some of it far more unfamiliar; the dressing on them is sweet without being sticky and spicy without being hot. It's altogether bizarre.

"I suppose that's better than the alternative."
When Savannah has been fed the entire bowl of stuff, Promise eats her own bowlful, and then gets started reading through the books she brought home.

"Please tell me," says Fred after an hour, "that this is not going to be what the next few weeks consists of."

"You know I'm bad at lying," says Ted, with a shrug. "Safer than the alternative."

"If you want to dust or wash the dishes or weave me a rug or something I won't stop you."

"Auuugh," groans Fred, and then because she has no better idea of something to do - she starts cleaning.
