Adarin is shaken awake one morning by a fiancée who is about five thousand times perkier than she usually is at odd, dark-outside hours.
"Wake up wake up wake up!"

"Continue to plan that! I approve entirely. Put on clothes and I will go add my dad to the immortality list."

He laughs again, then kisses her goodbye and goes to go do that. Clothes! On his person, even!
(He is starting to pick up bad habits from Isabella, nudity isn't as embarrassing as it used to be.)

(She thinks this is a good habit. And an aesthetically pleasing one.)
She makes sure the box that her portal bag leads to has plenty of the necessary supplies and then she flies them to the hub and through to Seattle and to her dad's house.
And then she draws the diagram on his living room floor because it's raining outside and it would just be washed away, and waits for him to come home from work.

Adarin will wait with her, absently working on how to make his sister's magic flying tree branch - he thinks he almost has it. It's taunting him now. He's so close.

Isabella might not be very helpful on this project. She is full of happy energy and keeps wanting to kiss him.
prodigal_miser
That's okay. The project can wait a little while for him to kiss her back, laughing at the happy energy. "You're cute when you're excited," he informs her.

"Then I had better maintain a bunch of things to be excited about all the time, hadn't I?"
prodigal_miser
"Yup! We'll find you lots of things to be excited about, it'll be delightful."

Adarin finds this amusing and snickers a bit. "She has been like this for hours, it's adorable."

"I can make you immortal, Dad! Stand over here and Kesathi goes over there and I will!"
dark_light
"Mm-hm! I spelled Adarin this morning and then we came here. Oh, I need an animal though, I'll be right back." And she ducks out the door.

"Six in the morning, she dragged me out of bed and outside to get immortalized," says Adarin affectionately. "It worked, we're pretty sure, she is extremely excited about it."

"Suppose it was only a matter of time before she had something figured out, she wanted it bad enough," snorts Charlie. "All right. Why not."
He and Kesathi step carefully over the diagram to wait in their designated positions.

Isabella comes back leading another deer behind her after a few minutes.

"Fine, fine -" Isabella ties the deer's legs together while it's still magically docile, then fetches a tarp and places it so the deer will not bleed on the carpet.
And then she sprinkles her herbs and performs her motions and speaks her poem.

Adarin watches, happy for his fiancée, and happy for immortality in general.
(She gets to keep her dad. He's so happy for her, he knows what losing one is like.)

There is a dramatic thunderclap and a dead deer, which Isabella takes into the backyard to burn, since it's a bad idea to eat a sacrifice.
Charlie gets up off the floor and dusts himself off.
Maybe a little less creakily than he might've otherwise done.
