"Then I might spend the next few hours on preparations and on preliminary investigations into interdimensional travel, and come fetch you in the evening."

He nods agreeably. "I might not have a translation spell on by then; if I cast something when you come get me it'll be that."

Permalink

"That's fine."

He heads back to the inn to check on Ertan, then goes back to the marketplace to see about sourcing fancy inks for spellbook re-creation. When he gets back again he stops by to let the innkeeper know about their changed circumstances and ask if she knows how he'd go about finding more permanent accommodations.

Permalink

Inks: are findable, though very fancy ones are a bit expensive.

The innkeeper says that people do sometimes stay here longer term, and they have weekly rates, or long term ambassadors - and he seems to have captured Tobirama-sama's attention well enough - usually stay on the village's dime. Hokage-sama usually even grows new houses for new residents.

Permalink

They'll probably want a house; Ertan will need to set up a proper workspace for himself eventually. Should he talk to Tobirama about meeting the Hokage, or can she set that up? He wanted to talk to him anyway, to share the seeds he's got.

Permalink

He'd probably be best talking to Tobirama-sama if he wants an audience today or tomorrow. The Hokage's a busy man, after all, though she could get him one in a few days?

Permalink

It's not that urgent; he appreciates her help.

Permalink

She nods.

Does he still want to be introduced to platinum merchants, or to non-Hokage seed merchants?

Permalink

He should probably let the Hokage have first pick of the seeds, but the platinum certainly.

Permalink

That can be done over lunch, then, if he's amenable.

Permalink

Certainly; he should check on Ertan first anyway.

He does that - the fancy inks he got samples of aren't quite fancy enough but they're a usable starting point - and is back in the lobby at lunchtime.

Permalink

The platinum merchants are fewer and less personable than the Uzushio copper merchants, but they'll give him a very fair trade.

Permalink

Very good. He has about ten pounds of it; even if the exchange rate is less favorable here than it was for the copper that should keep him in spending money for a while.

Permalink

It seems like it will!

Permalink

He stops by the room to see how Ertan's doing (better, a little, with a project to focus on) and rearrange his possessions, and then on a whim goes to check on Deskyl.

Permalink

Deskyl's still being monitored by their healers. Does he want to go in to see her?

Permalink

If they don't mind, yes.

Permalink

They don't mind - Hokage-sama is in with her right now, though, doing a medical check-up. 

Permalink

Oh, that's convenient. He goes in.

Permalink

Deskyl's condition is largely unchanged according to mundane diagnostics, though DZ says that the changes she does see suggest she'll be coming back to responsiveness soon, ahead of schedule by a day or so, and magical diagnostic bears this out. Desuka is still there as well, her book set aside as she watches the Hokage work.

Permalink

He smiles at Raafi when Raafi enters. His hands are hovering a bit away from Deskyl, glowing noticeably green. "Hello! You must be our other visitor!" he says, grinning.

Permalink

"Yes, I am! I don't know if you'll have heard yet, it turns out we'll be staying longer than we were expecting to. How's she doing?"

Permalink

"I heard about that. I'm sorry to hear you're stuck for now, but I'm sure Tobirama will figure something out."

"And she's doing well, better than we expected. My healing seems to address her problems fairly well at least..."

Permalink

"Oh, good. My basic healing didn't do much, I wonder what the difference is."
