"Sure, we would consider a gate to your world a favor which you can trade for this fairy we resurrected."

"'My world' is ambiguous, how about just 'a gate enabling exchange between us' or something like that."

"Sure, I'd consider it a favor if you set up a gate enabling exchange between us."

"I'll get to work on that, then. I think maybe if I go almost but not quite to the beginning of the fairy path, I'll be able to make it and then people will still be able to fit through, just not with as much margin as I'd usually leave. Lohte, do you want to get your father and meet me there -"

"Yes, I can do that."

"Do you guys have an idea for if she still counts as knowing her son's name?"

"I am sort of confused about how all this works, but I thought she will count if she sees him and probably won't count if she doesn't see him?"

"What I'm worried about is if, before they actually look at each other, a fairy looking at both of them can identify them as entangled. If that happens, then killing Lohte and bringing him back will probably not disentangle you."

"Killing him will. Right?"

"Leaving him dead will."

"Okay. So if we'd be reentangled as soon as he's resurrected then once he is dead we will change our plans and figure out how I can make sure Osirion is safe if I'm too sped-up to manage it and conceivably we should also try to figure out a modified, more stringent Zone of Truth and then we'll resurrect him once we can weather the entanglement a bit better."

"I don't know how feasible the spell idea is but it sounds handy."

And she goes to almost but not quite the end of the path. "I need geographical information on where you want this to lead."

"Geographical information?"

"Like describe landmarks in the terrain and where you want the gate relative to those."

"We're inside a giant black beetle shell, is that useful?"

"Sure, 'ground level so many feet in this direction from the this edge of the shell' should work."

"You can try ground level two hundred feet from the southernmost edge of the shell, but if it doesn't work, that might be because of some features of the shell and we might need to go outside it to get your gate to work."

"Okay."

She tries.

A moment later she steps through.

"Okay, I'm going to turn her invisible after I've watched her long enough to do that so who sees whom when is under more control." She studies the fairy. "It'd be nice to meet you all under less stressful circumstances."

"You too!"

The fairy looks back at her. She looks fairly concerned about all of this nonsense. 

"Hey. I'm not planning to mistreat you. I'm sorry this is so complicated."

"Do I have a court, now?"

"I'm staying with your son's court and intend to transfer you to them. I will not want to keep you long term, it's just expedient for the transfer."

- she nods.

"Does this have - implications we are unaware of -"
