When Iobel hears about the new world's details, and in particular her new alt's powers, she invites him over. It would have knock-on economic effects that they can't handle if he made everything that pops into her head, but crops that usually have higher yields and have been affected by this year's weather conditions can be added to the palace granary, especially pricey ones they can export or would otherwise have to import. He can make a little well-disguised generator so that they don't have to snake power cables as well as Internet ones into Chamomile through their portals. He can be conducted invisibly to various locations around the country (in a little flying vehicle he makes; she's going through a lot of invisibility scrolls to conserve her binder spells) and induced to add water here and trees there and stone to that quarry and nutrients to that low-quality soil. They are out almost all day doing that, flying high so they can be mistaken for a a bird when the short-lived invisibility wears off. And then they come back and Iobel looks through her notes and starts listing lost hexes and mythical spells.
She wants their charts.
And Cam can make them.

Edarial smiles and snuggles her back.
"And, I'm not looking forward to outdoing Ice and Cypress at all, nope. That would be petty. If incredibly justified."

"It is, it truly is. Why, I'm feeling faint and lifeless this very moment..."
And that is when he flops most of his weight onto Iobel, mischievously.

"Oh, can you? I feel faint, not allowing any sort of pettiness - it's getting to me!"

"Maybe you should do something just a little petty. I'm not sure I can lift you."
royal_obligation
"Hmmm. His crown looks prickly and uncomfortable and I bet it's hard for people to take him seriously in it. There, do you think that was enough?"
come_midnight
"Then maybe it will do. But you may collapse again at any moment and I'm short on ideas for further pettiness, so perhaps you'd best flop somewhere."
royal_obligation
"Yes, that's wise. And later, when I have recuperated my energy, I will resume my usual, non-petty existence."

"What will be left of you if you are without your noble stand against pettiness?" she asks, ushering him in the direction of his bedroom.

She ruffles his pretty hair. "You'll be a very well-turned-out skeleton."
come_midnight
"Are your non-skeletal parts all made of antipettiness? How does this dovetail with you being weak and listless when you refrain?"

"Oh, fine," he snorts. "My body will be totally fine, it's my mind you have to worry about."
