Once he leaves the - self-help meeting, Prime goes to his list of things to do. A lot of it has to do with Perinixu's temple and the acolyte responsible for bringing the goddess here. And magic, always magic. In particular, creating a stack-able set of portals-necklaces with limited amounts of mana is a challenge Prime hasn't encountered before. Even he can't manage it, not in the time frame that he'd like it to be finished.
So, he does the obvious thing. He outsources. He's not the only mage in the world, not even close, and he just so happens to be extremely rich. He asks (well, asks and then pays) a talented stoneshaper to make the necklaces in one fell swoop, and then spends several hours bugging significantly less busy mage healers at hospitals to make the portals. He only manages to get three sets, but he deems this 'better than nothing.' Especially considering most mages don't have a strong enough bloodline to manage a portal on their own. Just three was difficult to get, and required a lot of teamwork.
With that done, he heads off to Perinixu's temple, to shower Spring with gifts. In the sense that he will hand them to her, and then ask her nicely to use them to heal people.

"I can personally guarantee that Spring isn't going to age anymore," remarks Ice, but quietly.

"You're welcome. Speaking of which I should probably immortalize you at some point too."

"That would be delightful. But - I would please like to keep looking the same, it would be awkward to have to require people to get used to..." He motions to Cypress. "Me looking like I'm twenty again. Their first thought will be that I have a secret bastard son."

"Okay. I'll see about tweaking the spell for that, it might take a while, it's not going to be my all-consuming project for the next week or anything since you don't seem about to keel over."

"You're correct, I'm not. I'd estimate that I've got another century or so left in me."

"Huh. Well, that's - not really useful to me anymore, but it's nice to know I would have made it to the upper end of the estimation scale."

"I'll live longer," says Zeviana smugly. "If no immortality's applied. Which, by the way, can I have some?"

"Yes. Do you want his version or do you want to look like her forever?" Ice points at the younger Zev.

"I think you've got this fucking sexy 'mother I'd like to fuck' look going on, don't screw that up. The perfect twin thing would be tons of fun, but we've got another Zevi for that now."

"True," muses older-Zeviana. "And my girlfriends would be weirded out if I were suddenly tons younger. And it's not like I've got any real wrinkles yet."

"Prime's version it is. I'll let you know when I have it made and alethiometer-confirmed."

Cypress is trying very hard not to think about his sister having sex with her - alt. Ick.

Her husband's sister notices. She decides that she wants to tease her brother.
"Hey, Ada, I really recommend banging an alt of yourself, they know exactly the kinds of things you li-"
