Leaf brings Promise supper, this time, and oohs and aahs appropriately at the suddenly-enormous tree! She'd like to taste one of the haws too, Sapphire said they're interesting. 

She is welcome to a haw.

Ooh, intriguing! 

Leaf checks if she's planning to sleep up here tonight and whether she needs, like, a blanket or something. 

"I'll sleep here, yeah. A blanket would be nice. And a pillow."

Leaf can get her both of those things from the spare-linens closet downstairs! Her guest room will still be set up, if she ever wants to have that back for some reason. 

"Thanks. For one thing I don't have wall space for the drawings yet."

She goes into her tree with the pillow and the blanket and seals it up and pops out again in the morning.

Leareth is in the dining hall eating breakfast. "Promise! How was your first night back in your tree?" 

"I missed it a lot. It'll be better when it's got room for more than just me scrunched up in it and I can have, like, bookshelves, but I missed it so much."

"That makes sense. I am so very glad we could give that back to you." His eyebrows lift slightly. "Bookshelves, really. How large is this tree going to get?" 

"Didn't you see my original?"

"I suppose it is a little harder to judge size when one is scrying something from very far away without, for example, you standing next to the tree to give a sense of scale. How long will it take to reach the same size?" 

"Weeks, probably, if I'm also working on the garden."

Nod. "Are you planning to go obtain some plants now? Let us know if you need any help from our side on that." 

"I shouldn't need anything - though I suppose I could leave the gate open and if I don't come back in a few candlemarks someone could check on me."

"All right, we can do that." 

"I might take all afternoon, I don't know where the good plants are away from my original tree."

Nod. “I do have significant range on Mindspeech. If we wanted to avoid being conspicuous, I could just poke my head through every candlemark and check if you are all right, and only send a search party through if I cannot reach you.”

"Sure, I won't be going too far in any one direction. Though you'll want a search party that can handle the drop - Fetchers, I guess?"

“Or possibly we could just lower them on a rope anchored on this side?”

"It'd have to be quite a lot of rope."

“I will consider what makes the most sense here. Hopefully it will not even come up.”

"I should be fine."

She goes, invisibly, with a bag, to Fairyland's Valley Continent.

Someone waits in the Work Room, watching the open Gate in case any of the locals fly too close to it. 

Leareth pokes his head in every candlemark and checks on Promise via Mindspeech. 

Promise is not herself a Mindspeaker but replies insofar as she can that she is doing fine, finding good seeds, met another fairy without incident, nearly done. Comes back after five candlemarks with her bag full.

"Congratulations!" the mage watching the Gate tells her, cheerfully. "Got everything you needed?"
