Edie was perusing the latest correspondence from her fork. She still should have been paying enough attention to realize that the door didn't go where it ought before it swung shut and she couldn't sense anyone else anymore, but she wasn't.
After opening and closing the door a couple times to make sure she hadn't just been abducted somehow, she looks around.
"If it comes down to it I'm sure Idaia wouldn't mind ending up looking older in order for the engineers to spend time with her before immortality was done."
"Yeah but if it turns out to be more complicated than expected - if they give it to her and it doesn't work, or something -"
"Well, the timefuckery has been favoring the engineers so far, and my parents were both attractive and healthy into their seventies, so."
"Yeah.
Well. The timefuckery has been favoring the engineers so far."
"Theirs? I'm mostly thinking about their psychological health, not my poor alt-father and alt-Curvo."
"I think they would have waited one of your years if they had remembered that she didn't still have magic birth control."
"We need to either go back to making out or I need to go pester Findekano about blessings stuff, I just keep circling back to 'the timefuckery has been in the engineers' favor so far.'"
She suspected this would be the result of saying those words! She can go pester Findekano later.
Yes, that.
Eventually she does in fact go looking for Findekano.
He is not hard to find; he's been circling between the research teams.
"Hi, are you doing important things such that I shouldn't interrupt?"
"Well, I've taught myself the basics of blessing design from materials from Bar but I'm kind of stumped for what to actually do since custom blessings are apparently a marriage tradition and I want to do something he'd like even if it wasn't from me."
"Awww. Do you have a sense of the range of things blessings can do?"
"Hmm. ...magic Tyelcormos can talk to animals, I wonder if there's a way to have a blessing for that."
