The servant blinks. "I don't think I have context for what you're describing."

"There was an incident last week - she noticed a woman beating her daughter for falling in a puddle, and she - took care of it - and one of your goldmages noticed what was happening and threatened her about it. She's not going to challenge you over how you choose to administrate the city but she's not going to stay if she's expected to tolerate that sort of thing, either."

"...she took care of it?" repeats the servant, confused.

DZ asks Deskyl for clarification. "She punched her. She says she didn't do any permanent damage."

"What I'd heard was that we got a report from a man who said she'd used magic on him to prevent him from keeping her out of his house."

    "Oh. Yes sir, that also happened."

"I didn't know about punching the woman but I assume they'd also be upset about that - uh, I don't think there's anywhere in Cefax you can go where it's okay for a mage to barge into a person's house and attack them."

    "Then we'll leave Cefax, I suppose."

"Cefax is the whole island. So you know. I also wouldn't really expect it to be legal in foreign countries..."

    "She's really not willing to compromise on this, sir."

"I certainly can't stop you from terrorizing people personally, Xaari Deskyl, but my expectation is that it's not going to be legal anywhere on the planet."

    "She's not harassing people because she enjoys it; if she needs to live away from people to avoid their misbehavior then that's what she'll do."

"Okay. Should I tell the Temple-Guild you won't be returning?"

    "Yes sir. We'll be here for another week or two, if they have any other questions."

"Understood." He bows politely and goes off again.

And Deskyl gets back to work.

Her work permit's going to expire at the end of the month.

Two days after the first guy, a middle aged woman servant from the Temple-Guild comes and finds her.

She's just picking up a passenger, but DZ tells the woman to wait, and they're back in a few minutes.

    "Yes, ma'am?"

"Hello. I'd like to talk to you about how to work with your mage, since if I understand correctly you're her attendant?"

"More or less, yes ma'am. What would you like to know?"

"I was told that her magic uses her emotions, but not quite the way we'd naturally interpret that. Is that why she has impulse control problems?"

"This is about the incident the other day, ma'am?"

"Yes, and her anticipating that she can't control the urge if it comes up again."

DZ nods. "Most Sith do have difficulty with impulse control, but Deskyl doesn't particularly, ma'am; she can tolerate being around people who are suffering if she needs to. But she prefers not to, and she's not accustomed to having laws apply to her."

"...why wouldn't laws apply to her?"
