A third of the world is covered by the howling maelstrom that was born a century ago. It is not ordinarily a place you'd find people surviving, but sometimes things appear in it. Strange things - otherworldly things - brought into the mist of a howling storm of cloudy dust and wind that blows in whichever direction it wants.
"It would probably be easiest if there were specific areas you could take on? So you can familiarize yourself with the context."
"I'd imagine training me to take the job would mostly involve me following you to work, though I don't know how much of that Eefa be an acceptable accompaniment to."
"There would be added overhead that might not be ideal.... you could probably help with a lot of the market-related parts of the job without going far from Elysium, if you're comfortable leaving her there? Or she could be in the market but not actively participating in your work."
"I'm already kind of pushing her tolerance for being away from me by wanting privacy to sneak off for spring-related reasons."

She will concede that she is also very good. And should be rewarded for her goodness. With orgasms.
Fine and hanging out underneath one of the tables in the dining room making a tower while Iphigene sits on the ground nearby and makes her own.
"Oh good. I could probably get you some blocks to have in our room back at Elysium, if you'd like. I worry you get bored."
As usual during bedtime Eefa looks at Pelape, hoping she'll decide to sing again like she did that first night.
