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!"

The nicest. She loves him intensely. And on this occasion somewhat magically.

He loves her, too. So very much. He is going to be very dedicated to showing her how much.
(A lot. The answer is a lot.)

He thinks so, too!
After, there are snuggles. Lots and lots of snuggles.

It is two months (and many portals and a staffing overhaul and numerous immortalizations) later when -
Well, this time it's at least a civilized hour, not six in the morning. It is in fact two in the afternoon.
"I DID IT THE ALETHIOMETER SAYS I DID IT I HAVE IT RIGHT THIS TIME GODDESSES ALL I HAVE IT" hollers Isabella from her workroom upstairs.

Adarin declines to holler. They have rings that talk to each other. "By 'it,'" asks Adarin, taking stairs three at a time, "do you mean resurrection?"

He briefly wonders if he can teleport to get upstairs faster, but then he is already there while he is doing math in his head about how to make it work.
"What do you need?" he asks, breathless and excited.

"Oh goddesses a list of herbs as long as my arm and the poem's soooo long and I have to tweak the scansion to incorporate the resurrectee's name on a per-occasion basis and there's two different parts where I have to sacrifice things, not just one, although I'll be able to do birds this time it doesn't have to be deer, and the diagram will be so fucking huge but it will work."

Adarin giggles, and then his wife is scooped up into a hug.
"You're amazing, that sounds like an utter nightmare. What herbs, can I help with the diagram in any way - I will go fetch things while you diagram, what do you need me to do?"

"Okay I have some of this already but -" She writes up a shopping list and then adds, "Will your sister want to be here? I'm assuming here the first person we should get is your dad?"
prodigal_miser
"She will want to be here if we're resurrecting dad. Which I want to do first," says Adarin, grinning. He takes the list and reads it over. "Think I can ply your clan to hand over herbs if I throw cool magic things at them? I can make another portal bag, I could grab Ana while I'm there."
dark_light
"The clan will have the herbs, Mom can get them for you and nobody'll blink, it's not that much of any one thing. Scaling up I'll probably want an actual deal with a - commercial basil farm and whatnot, I guess - but for the first one no need."
prodigal_miser
He nods. "Then I will go get them, along with Ana - should it not be immediately? Do you need time to get the diagram right, or - or to fix the poem for his name or something...?"
dark_light
"It'll take a while but not more than like - an hour unless I make a mistake."
prodigal_miser
"Okay," he agrees, laughing a little. He twirls Isabella around and kisses her with delight. "I love you, I love you, I love you so much you are amazing."
dark_light
"I aaaaaam and I love you toooooo," she says breathlessly when the kiss is broken.
prodigal_miser
Kiss. "I would go on about how great you are but resurrection! I will be back soon, I'm teleporting there, because resurrection."
dark_light
"Don't trip over things while you're averting your eyes from naked witches! I will go start drawing."
And she scoops up a large bag of fine ash and goes into the backyard.

Adarin makes a spell for teleportation, teleports to just outside of clan lands, and then starts looking for either Ranata, his sister, or someone who could direct him to either. He officially does not care about nudity right now, he is about to get his father back.

"Isabella just made a resurrection spell I need my sister and herbs to do it we're resurrecting my dad," he says, all in a rush.

Castarilan always looks kind of excited, but perhaps the way he just looped the loop is extra-excited. "Oh wow! What do you need herbs-wise? Zeviana's at the cookfire I think!"
