Morgan doesn't strictly need to sleep. Even if she didn't want to put up with the annoyance of constantly having a caffeine buzz and having to ask for coffee on almost every summon, there are naps. Naps can keep a daeva going for quite a long time.
But there's something unutterably pleasant about curling up in a proper bed in pajamas and just sleeping. And then waking up and getting breakfast in those pajamas. So she does that, because immortality's a long unpleasant time if you don't enjoy the little things every now and then. Like adorable bunny slippers and soft pajamas and sleeping in.
She's midway through a fruity salad thing that counts as the standard fairy breakfast when she feels the summon. Showing up to a summon in pajamas? Eh. If they're proper summoners she bets they've seen worse, and she doesn't particularly care if they think she's unprofessional.
She puts her spoon down and accepts the summon.

"But! We do need to actually work out a plan for that so it doesn't just seem like I have smuggled you out of the country for my own nefarious purposes."

"...well, would waiting work? I mean if you became a warlord and then like one or two months later I vanished from here and mysteriously appeared there?"
notinoz
"That's still pretty obvious. Maybe if you went on an obnoxiously publicized world tour and stopped in my warlord territory because you 'liked it' it'd be plausible."
mxglam
"Yeah, that sounds like a cool idea. 'How to be obnoxious internationally: a guide by Glam.'"

Snort.
"Have fun. Mind the Yàngbǎn if you're in that area. Though, if you want the Protectorate to forgive you by joining the Wards, it'll have to be sooner rather than later if at all. You can't plausibly be seventeen forever."

"...hrrm. Maybe I could do that, I guess. My birthday's in November, if I said I'm seventeen that's real soon."
notinoz
"Hmm. Yeah, that's a decent window to give you some plausibility while still keeping it short. What's our story if you decide to go with that option? You officially died in an Endbringer attack, and don't want people to bring any of it up...?"
mxglam
"Yeah, I guess that works. I... do have an official record, though. And. A kinda unique name."
notinoz
"I'll see if you can avoid getting your secret identity revealed, if that'll help? I imagine going by a fake name would get really old, really fast."
mxglam
"Yes. Quite. And I mean, what happens if they do figure it out, and figure out I escaped probation by lying?"
notinoz
"I mean, you could always flee the country if they find out, or explain that you didn't know when you were seventeen, but - yes, fair. It's a bit of a risk."
mxglam
"Mmm. Well, I guess if I'm going to another country afterwards anyway, it doesn't much matter."
notinoz
"It might make the Protectorate dislike you more, especially if the Wards feel betrayed. Or it could show them why they might like you, and even if you're technically a fugitive, they'd give you more leeway. And they might figure out your weaknesses if you spend a lot of time with them in close quarters, which could make it easier for them to keep you from leaving. It doesn't matter too much, but it does a bit, I think."
notinoz
"Well there's not many words 'Glam' can stand for, and you were using fairies in your prank. Because of my wings a little girl called me a fairy, and I went and looked up what those are, and read assorted lore surrounding them. Glamours included. Plus with the bizarre focus on attention instead of things that would directly help you - it sort of didn't make sense for you to do those things if getting a good rep wasn't the goal of it, and I had to think of why it would be useful. ... Plus you were really obvious with the 'You probably think you can beat me' and 'I can totally teleport' lines. You think I can't tell when someone's trying to mess with my perceptions?"
notinoz
"I mean, to be fair, no one else has caught you yet, so you're not doing terribly. According to Legend they've gone through a lot of suspicions on how your power works. But - yeah, the fairies was probably not a good move. And neither is being too obvious about messing with people's perceptions."
