After Adarin and Isabella depart, Edarial gets back to juggling projects. Unsurprisingly, Iobel is a large help in this. Once she gets a handle on all of the things involved with being a monarch, he can not constantly be doing that alone. He still helps, he's still there doing monarch things and fixing the country, but now he's got a bit more free time to devote to other things.
Accordingly, there's a project he picks back up that he was only tinkering with before his marriage. He'd like to reinvent the fountain that heals familiars, have there be others in strategic locations, so that spellbinders don't need to rush to the capitol to avoid being unmade. Progress on the project's always been slow, there's a reason that it hasn't just been reinvented immediately after the spell charts were lost, but he's got some very good reasons to work on it with a near-obsessive zeal.
One day, to his utter surprise, when he goes to find another portion of the spell-chart to complete, he can't find it. He stares at the chart, stunned. Then he starts checking his work. It takes him a few days to finish the corrections.
Then he's done. He's remade a revolutionary spell chart.
He picks up the huge spell chart, does his best to fold it down to a reasonable travel size, and then heads off to show the nearest spell binder - Iobel.

"You will get some witches when you think you are ready to explain them assuming Isabella has any who owe her favors at that time," Path promises.

"He's fine. You can judge for yourself. We might not need you at all if that particular tidbit didn't come up in conversation, but can you be - poised, near the portal?"

"... Caaaaaan I come visit if I'm near there and it's easier? I'll leave Lecasryn at home, I've heard the stories."
She pets Lecasryn. "Sorry, pretty bird."
"It's quite all right," agrees the harrier.

"You can also just visit for reasons of your own, you won't be recognized the way our alts will," she agrees. "But please don't mention to Zevros the resurrection thing if he turns out not to have already known."

"Yup! I'll be there in a bit, shouldn't take long. Luuuuziiia -"
And off she goes to get a ride to Seattle.

Vern snuggles Path right back. "They're not, because that's specifically for her because my Adarin loves her."

"Adorable lovey soul birds. Okay. Well. I'm curious about how the plague of utopias is going, can you ask them to call when they're back?"

"My Adarin, too." Pause. "This is so weird, there is a thing I'd like to ask your daemons but you don't have any."
come_midnight
"Uuuuum, if that language spell works on you guys I suppose you could ask our familiars, but they're really, really not daemons."
prodigal_miser
"... It isn't the kind of thing that you ask someone's human. You ask the daemon. I've gotten used to how things work, I can tell, it would be bad to ask you rather than your daemons. It's better to not ask at all, I think."
