"- Yes, that too, thank you for the reminder." 

"I don't want to pick fights right now."

"That seems wise." Sigh. "I am sorry your introduction to Velgarth was like this." 

"Well. It's better than where I was before."

"Fair enough. Anyway, I will be around here for the next week or so, if you need anything, and I will send someone to show you the library once we have vetted it." Leareth waits a moment longer, seeing if she has anything to add, before heading for the hallway. 

She has nothing to add.

Leareth goes off. 

A few minutes later, Enaka turns up. "Do you want something to eat?" 

"Yes please."

This base may have a worse library than the previous one, but it has a bigger dining hall with a wider variety of minimally-processed-vegetables options, and a section set aside for Promise with some nuts and dried fruits. 

That's nice. She picks some things out and gives them to Enaka to give to her.

Enaka cheerfully hand-feeds her everything on the plate.

A while later, another woman wanders over. "I was, er, told that if you know people's names you have power over them, but that you can only eat if one of those people feeds you. I, er–" she's trying to remember Enaka's nickname, "Sapphire told me you know her name and you haven't used it against her at all, and I - might be interested but I want to know more about how it works." 

"If I have your name I can give you enforced orders. If I enforce an order you will follow it. It seems to be sort of like compulsions of the local magic type. Since this also works on me you'd be tolerating not only risk from me, which is negligible, but also risk from everyone who can order me - Sunspring, and also some remarkably evil fairies back in Fairyland who I'm never going near again if I can avoid it. Also if I have your name you can't hurt me - even if for some reason I order you to."

Frown. "Are you still under any orders from the evil fairies or did Sunspring override that? Is there any way they could give you new orders from a distance, even if you avoid them?" 

"Sunspring overrode that and they can't give me orders from a distance unless they acquire some new capability. I think they don't even know this world exists."

She nods, looks thoughtful. "All right, I think I am willing to take the risk. Do I just tell you my name?" 

"Yeah. It has to be your real name."

"All right. Norelle." 

"Thanks. Should make things easier for Sunspring and Sapphire."

"- I guess I should pick a nickname too, since people in your world do that. Umm, I'll be Leaf." It's not that creative but it'll do. 

"Okay, Leaf."

"I'll be around for breakfast in the morning." Leaf nods to her and heads off. 

Promise mulls over what to tell the Tayledras. Eventually tells Leareth she should go talk to them since they're waiting on her.

"Do you want a Gate back over to their camp?" 

"Yes. Is there any other way to get outdoors from in here?"
