Yes. (That's new).

- well, if it's new she supposes it will be less suspicious that she's suddenly using the feature.

She locks her door and turns invisible and creeps under her bed and appears above the Valley Continent.

It's a lovely continent.

It is bigger than she was expecting.

She's still small - and based on how the plants are bent in the wind she's also still fast.

So. Those are things she'll want to figure out in the long run. In the short run, she's small enough to make an entire meal of these seeds that she's always liked but has never had enough of at once to make them a main dish. She eats a lot of them.

She goes back to and through her gate. She shuts it. She waits half an hour before she unlocks the door.

No one appears to notice this at all.

She tries not to be too visibly extra-energetic. (She's not great at that.)

Permalink

Well if anyone notices they don't say anything.

How very either polite or sorta suspicious of them.

She goes foraging once a day at random times. She doesn't bring food back, just eats it there and comes back full.

He eventually broaches the subject.

You seem happier.

"I do?"

"I suppose that's not untrue."

Permalink

"And how are you doing?"

Permalink

Good! Lots of visitors, I like visitors.

Permalink

"Are they jaded about the lights yet?"

Permalink

No, though frustrated they can't get any themselves.

Permalink

"I still haven't thought of something to swap for consulting on the care and maintenance of prisoners."

Permalink

Did the slightly dangerous experiment get any results?

Permalink

Sigh. "Yes. It is now both slightly less dangerous than it was, and has turned out to have originally been even less dangerous than I thought it was to begin with."

Permalink

"I really don't think you need to worry about it.

I noticed my door has a lock now."

Permalink

I apologize for the servant walking in on you. I didn't direct them to do that.

Permalink

"It didn't turn out to be a particularly big deal."

Permalink

I've said all these things about not being harder to work with when I have more of an idea of what's going on, I try to actually mean them.

Permalink

"That's very responsible of you."

I also got an account of the situation from the fairy you're entangled with  - secondhand, but still - and it was fairly reassuring.
