It's a good idea! Shavri isn't wrong that the convention will delay saving up, and even if it's unlikely to be necessary, it's a lot of peace of mind for both of them, that will make it easier to focus on, you know, the actual very significant discussions and decisions happening at the convention. 

And she doesn't need to! She knows that! Seldan's point by point analysis of why she wants to do it anyway includes: 

- Instead of feeling miserable about hurting him every time she sees him or hears him mentioned or randomly thinks about him, she will instead feel smug, which is a much pleasanter emotion, in fact it's objectively one of the best emotions. 

- She's probably also feeling a lot of gratitude! Because one of the things Blai achieved by enduring all those horrible days was keeping Van and Stef alive, who are Shavri's friends, and also he saved her lifebonded's life and saved kind of a huge number of people and prevented a war and really quite a lot of things! There's a level of gratitude where just saying thank you doesn't feel like it really communicates it. 

- She probably felt really, really helpless and scared at the point when Blai was dying and has been replaying it over and over in her head. Seldan has definitely done that about situations where he did everything right given the information he could conceivably have had at the time and maybe even in hindsight he wouldn't do anything differently - if anything that can be worse, on the "feeling helpless" front - and it might bring her quite a lot of peace of mind to know that next time they won't be dependent on the miracle of a 6th-circle cleric sprinting through a Gate just barely in time. 

- Sometimes people like doing extravagant nice things for people they feel warmly toward just because they can! It makes them feel good about themselves! 

:It's very kind of you: he tells Shavri. 

:I think there'll be a Gate today, I'll delegate to someone to take care of it.: 

And she'd better go harass Vanyel about consuming his mandatory fluids, it's five minutes until dawn. 

That's so many feelings, put some of those feelings back

Vanyel is now a cleric and could also benefit from a Breath of Life scroll for his two psychic bond people. Though the first time Blai cast a scroll it was pretty nervewracking because he knew he ought to be able to do it but the knowledge of how was not quite as accessibly installed in his head as his prepared spells and he's not sure he succeeded inside of a round, which is necessary with Breath of Life, so maybe Vanyel should try with some other scroll first, like if they brought any scrolls on top of the wand of Gentle Repose... in which case maybe they should tell him to prep Read Magic except they don't know there to be any such scrolls, nobody's been prioritizing keeping Blai read in because he's a patient... should Blai also be preparing Gentle Repose? And possibly Read Magic, if the scroll might arrive today, he'll want to decipher it right away - instead of Virtue, probably, the idea being that they won't need that today -

Oh wow, yes, they have completely failed to discuss spell prep for today!

Seldan...forgot...and Shavri presumably didn't give them a list because she's not going to need to claim all of Blai's spell slots for keeping people alive. Read Magic seems great and they should not need Virtue today! Does Vanyel need it if he already has mage-sight at all times, if the spell does any interpretation then it might still be worth it? It definitely seems worth Blai preparing Gentle Repose too, today is day 11 which is the Raise Dead time limit for Raad and Khayr, and it sounded like Leareth's organization wasn't expecting to get to everyone in time so they were going to need to do the remainder bit by bit on a much longer delay with the weird cheap Resurrections in Golarion. Vanyel can't, of course, but Seldan isn't sure he remembers the existence of first circle spells to ask for other than Remove Sickness, is there anything really useful he should relay while he's poking Vanyel about Read Magic?

He's not sure what their Remove Disease status is or what those slots are trading off against, and he does feel pretty diseased, he did not in fact get either of the ones last night - how's Blai doing on that front, his was a while ago but he did immediately get a Restoration that hopefully patched some of the "constantly getting all of the diseases" problem - Stef looks like he could use one even though he also got a Restoration - 

Blai has no idea if mage-sight substitutes for Read Magic but thinks it probably doesn't! First circle spells - depending on what they're doing once they're both Restored and up and okay, Deathwatch? Endure Elements? Summon Monster if there's more refinement to do on the gate route thing? Diagnose Disease, in case some series of things go wrong and they need to pinpoint something for the Healers because they don't have enough Removes? Command or Forbid Action? Blai no longer thinks that he himself is diseased and can prep one for Seldan and one for Stef in case the other clerics aren't on that; even if they are they're nice to have in many situations where you might be dealing with a lot of commoners who keep getting diseases even under completely normal circumstances.

Oh Endure Elements is an excellent idea, Seldan had temporarily blanked on that one but he picked up via the Haven Companion-gossip-network that Joshel was able to use all of the ones available yesterday for the Heralds riding up and down between the refugee camps on the wreckage of the border. Would Van get an Endure Elements that doesn't last as long as Blai's, or does it not work like that? 

They will definitely be able to usefully soak up an arbitrary number of Remove Diseases even if any individual specific case is less time-sensitive than a lot of other things (Seldan and Stef will both do a lot better once the underlying problem is fixed, he thinks, they're not going to die of being diseased today regardless, he just doesn't like it) – the refugee camp conditions are pretty awful for diseases spreading and it sounds like a lot of people had to wait long enough for channels that their horrible burns got infected and the burns being fixed didn't by itself fix that.

...He has no idea how much it was discussed that Minor Prophecy works here and it's a bit late now to coordinate with the other higher-circle clerics, many of whom aren't even in Haven at this point, but it's second circle so it trades off against Gentle Repose and they really, really need those... 

Endures aren't dependent like that, they just last all day regardless of caster power, it's a great spell.

One Minor Prophecy could reveal something that overturns all their plans; Blai thinks it is probably worth one marginal Repose that they might not even be banking on having available today.

Yes good Seldan is sold. For Blai's first-circle spells, Endure Elements shouldn't go to waste and seems like a sensible pick if Blai doesn't have anything obviously better. 

(He bounces instructions to Vanyel.) 

He would like at least one oh-shit spell (for instance, if a god tries to kill them with an avalanche or dropping them in a river, an Air Bubble would not go amiss). The rest can be Endures and a Prophecy and some Reposes and some Remove Disease though. And - it's dawn -

- and he has three freely allocable third circle slots now?? That's weird??

Air Bubble sounds good– oh. Huh. That is weird. Very convenient but odd! ...Seldan is too diseased to think about what Blai should do with his extra slot, sorry. 

Vanyel is ALSO realizing that he apparently has a third spot now for his first-circle spells! Why is that a thing? ...He's obviously not going to interrupt Blai praying to ask right now so he'll just...get a second Endure Elements how about that. And maybe today is the day he'll finally find out what his mystery spell does!

(Rather a lot of his prayers are going to consist of "Shelyn Shelyn look this is Yfandes she's back and she's so good!" and it's really quite a lot easier to think about music and cuddling people he loves when he's cuddling BOTH of the people he's soulbonded to.) 

<3!!

Blai puts the prophecy in the unexpected third circle slot so he can have a full slate of all the Gentle Reposes anyone might have been banking on him having if they were counting on that and did not expressly tell him to also prep it in third circle slots.

(King Randale had previously arrived at the House of Healing about three and a half minutes before dawn for his Heal, really hoping that wasn't cutting it too close, he'd meant to be in more like ten minutes early but it's...early...and all the Gates last night brought in yet another snowstorm and the paths weren't all the way cleared yet.) 

Oh there he is Shavri lost track of time and should really have, like, remembered to send someone to make sure he made it over here, the usual Guards would presumably have followed him on the trek through the grounds whenever he left his room but he clearly didn't get help, judging by the fact that he appears to be wearing yesterday's Whites with the tunic laces not fully done up. 

Shavri Mindspeaks him something fond and exasperated. :King Randale's here for the Heal: she adds to Luminary Khayr and Songbird Aziza, since this is perhaps not entirely obvious from his appearance. 

...that's the king? That's the king. The drone cuts out as Luminary Khayr realizes that's a king, but he can bow his head and kneel and still cast Heal.

Songbird Aziza isn't sure just kneeling will cut it when she doesn't even need her hands and gets all the way down on the floor.

Oh no.

To be clear, this isn't the first time Randi has encountered people from other kingdoms that have more traditions of formality around monarchs, though getting down on the floor is new. He...has scripts...for how to respond to this. It's just way too early in the morning for it and it was probably a mildly stupid idea to stubbornly not call anyone for help dressing or getting himself out of the building to meet his Companion, he's out of breath and in quite a lot of pain that he's determinedly ignoring and he probably looks like some sort of ruffian and, just, oh no! Also they don't speak his language and he's not a Mindspeaker so he can't say anything anyway! 

...And then he's abruptly not in pain and it's so startling that he almost falls over. (At which point he realizes that he's not back to his full physical strength, not that he entirely remembers what that was even like but he's pretty sure when he was twenty-two it wasn't so hard on his knees to recover his balance. Whatever. He literally doesn't care. He's not in pain and he's not vaguely dizzy and sick for no reason and he's not foggy or gluey or desperate to be asleep and it doesn't at all feel like anything he has to do today will feel like dragging his brain uphill over sharp rocks.) 

After a mortifying ten seconds during which all the half-formed thoughts of what to say have completely left his hand, Randi manages to say something reasonably formal and grateful, with a faintly desperate glance at Shavri to translate it. 

Oh that's a delightful spell! That was really beautiful to watch with Healing-Sight open! ...It's in a way spectacularly overpowered on Randi, who wasn't injured at all and who couldn't even absorb all the benefit of one of Blai's channels, it felt like there was enough there to heal, like, twenty Randis of mortal wounds. And at the same time it doesn't look like it actually made headway on the really stuck-on progressive damage – he'd still benefit from a Restoration, or maybe two of them targeting Endurance and Strength. And it didn't, she doesn't think, get rid of the underlying cause, whatever that is. But it hit a lot of things. It's a more broadly-targeted spell than anything she's seen yet from their cleric healing, it did something on a lot of pathways where she can see damage but not really address it, and it did it without drawing on Randi's strength which was always the biggest limitation on her kind of Healing. 

...Oh right there's an interpersonal thing here. Shavri smiles and translates Randi's thanks and adds a :he says you can get up now: even though Randi strictly speaking did not think to say that explicitly. 

Aziza gets up, curtsies prettily, and tucks herself into an out of the way corner to pray to Shelyn.

The Luminary inclines his head in acknowledgement and rises to his feet. Is there a window? He'd like to pray by a window.

:Randi get out of our hair please: This is very much a PRIVATE Mindspeech aside to Randi alone because wow the clerics would be horrified. She's also not going to go give him a hug in front of them - she wants to, but they would probably feel really weird about it, and also she's been back in the sickroom long enough now that she no longer feels Clean. 

The current room does not have a window but the room where she spoke to Aziza does and Shavri can quickly show Khayr over. And then stay out of everyone's way while they pray.

(Randi was already prepared to take the hint that he was in their way. He leaves.) 

Window. The sun. Not his sun, but a sun -

Usually Aziza likes to pray with some of the other Songbirds at her temple all holding hands in a circle and crooning but the other Songbird looks....... occupied, so she will just get on with it by herself.
