"Oh, thanks, that's much better!"

"You can come by here for healing whenever you need it. You can come by right before sunrise, if you need anything more complicated - they hold all their spells in case they're needed for anything important and right before sunrise if they're not they'll do whatever."

"Cool!"

"It's great! I got Owl's Wisdom once and the world made so much sense and I felt all - alive, and peaceful, and sure of myself -"

"Ooh, I didn't even think of that..."

"It's mostly not that good. Mostly they have, like, combat spells prepared. But talk to the right people and eventually you can find most anything you're particularly looking for."

"Maybe I'll just wander down here any time the baby's keeping me up around then and see what they've got."

"There you go."

"What happens if you cast the smartness spells on kids?"

"I dunno, I haven't done it."

"I bet it's funny, kids are weird and then they'd be weird differently I bet. Wouldn't be interesting on one this little though." She tickles her baby's cheek.

"Yeah, she doesn't have enough life experience. - is she the prince's?"

"No."

"Huh."

"I did a dumb thing. My lovebird dumped me but I should've just looked harder for a new one."

"Wow. Well I guess it worked out for you."

"I guess!"

"How did you meet him, in that case?"

"...he stopped me on the street after I stole my baby out of the temple my parents dumped her at."

" - what, and just, like, announced he was bringing you home with him?"

"We had, like, a conversation first and six or seven made up verses of Baby Be Quiet."

"I guess it's allowed because sometimes it's right."

"...huh?"

"I mean, if the royal family wasn't supposed to do that sometimes, then they wouldn't be allowed to do that sometimes, so they're supposed to do that sometimes even if it sounds pretty weird."

"Guess so."
