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 don't know," says Prime almost whimsically. "Should I? Is there any goal reached by telling you about my family life?"

"Off-chance it will prevent others from having theirs go the same way by one or another circuitous route? Allowing us outside parties to do more than sort of sit here wondering why we were invited along?"

"I'm not sure what there is to tell, then. I became tired of being yelled at, and treated like I'm not allowed to make choices in my own life."

"By - being so obviously upset with me, and wanting me to give up and do something else."

"And you did not give up and do something else, and then...?"

"I got frustrated with her being upset with me. And her - meddling, she had this annoying habit of completely ruining any of my plans that she came in contact with."

"Accident, I'd say. Though occasionally she did it on purpose, if she didn't like the people I was working with at the time."
