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.
"Even if something goes wrong, this is a lot more stuff, and you're not in my debt, it'll be okay."
"I guess I'll - hand these off and show everyone that I don't have you and then maybe they'll stop worrying."
Nodnod. "Do you want me to stay in the room until you're done? Otherwise I might want to visit your father, see if he wants anything - "
"Yes, sorry, I imagine it hasn't been very long. The girl summoned us again and helped us pay off the debt. I think she intends to summon your son several times, until she's helped him pay off his debts to the court. If you wanted anything, she seems very eager to give out magic items. At one point she made a ring that lets the wearer understand any language."
"Magic, apparently. I think she's gained the ability to conjure magic items that have been made in other worlds."
"No, I mean, how does it give you the ability to understand every language. Does it give you a complete knowledge of all the languages? Does it automatically provide its attempt at a translation when they say things? Is it going off their intent, does it work on constructed languages or on gibberish they intend you to interpret a specific way?"
"Oh. I'm not sure. She gave it to your son, I imagine he would let you run some tests."
The ring provides translations. If you take it off and put it on again you can easily compare written works to the ring's translations, though.
