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.

"It's - not one huge terrible thing. It's like a lot of little terrible things that have added up and pissed her off. Acting like she doesn't matter to him, for one. That shit hurts."

"Prime is wrapped up in a layer of sarcasm a mile thick. I'm not sure it's possible to tell him off effectively," Path says.

"Doesn't mean we're not going to try," says Lecasryn.
"Also, that's why we're getting Ada. Because I bet he can get past the layer of sarcasm," agrees Zeviana.

"I suppose he has the advantage of Prime owing him big time."

"... Can I finish making soup before picking a fight with Prime?" asks Cypress plaintively.

"Please do not keep him longer than that. We would miss him."

"Sure, go for it. We don't care if other people come, but we know for sure that we need Adarin."

"That's because you are," says Zeviana, with a shrug. "Congrats."

"My Isabella will try to get off the phone before the soup is done."

"Mhm. We'll wait until she's off the phone, anyway, if she's coming." Zeviana flops onto a couch, content to wait.
Lecasryn goes and finds Vern (who's outside, sunning herself) and curls a wing around her and snuggles.

Eventually, when soup is made and Isabella has gotten off the phone with the lawyer, everyone is ready to go!

He's really not difficult to find. The portal leads to his house after all.
"... Hello," he says, looking up from his letter-writing. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Oh, is that all?" drawls Prime. "Well by all means, I'll start tomorrow. How not to be a jackass, in six easy steps."
