A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.
This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.
She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.
"I guess I probably could? I think we wanted to keep your world paused until I was more ready to do stuff there, though."
"It is possible that the best way to tell my spellbook that I want combat spells is to do some combat. But - man, I don't feel like I have a good enough plan to do really right by anybody's worlds right now. Not compared to what I probably could do if I thought more about it."
" - oooh. I guess if we have healing wands on hand it might be okay?"
She looks at Connor.
Are you thinking it'll be dangerous, or is it something else? I think people can learn to fight without dying. Probably.
Do you have, like, concerns about what we shouldn't start with, or - I really don't expect him to do anything super dangerous while we're figuring things out, but I guess I don't know him that well -
I don't really know anything about fighting, I can't do it.
And maybe this makes him jealous and insecure.
Ohhh.
We could ask him to teach both of us? Most of my combat power comes from magic items, right now, and I can just hand magic items off to anyone, you know?
Fairies don't do two-sided violence. This is mostly kind of neat but it's inconvenient for this particular thing.
Okay. Love you.
"So - how does one actually go about learning to fight."
"...okay."
She hands Connor the wand of cure light wounds.
"Have you... ever taught anybody how to fight, before?"
"Okay. Well. I have no idea how to do this but I guess that's true of most teenagers. - should I be doing this with or without the ring of protection and the belt of physical perfection, do you figure."
"I guess we'll probably hurt each other less badly if we can hit less hard and still have the protective magic."
