Sigh. "That's very responsible of you."

Permalink

"Thank you!"

"I'm sure Ruava will be able to sort this out," murmurs the prince, mostly to himself.

Permalink

"Any idea when to expect her?"

Permalink

"Tonight, almost certainly."

Permalink

The bird nods.

Permalink

"And I think she will be able to make better sense of you than I can."

Permalink

"I'm really not trying to be nonsensical."

Permalink

"And yet."

Permalink

"Is there something in particular we can clear up, or is it just a side effect of the 'obviously not trusting each other' thing...?"

Permalink

"Mostly that."

Permalink

"Well. Perhaps Cam can explain summoning in more detail while we wait."

Permalink

Cam has his computer! He looks up his introductory summoning lecture for reference but doesn't try an exact translation. Three types of daeva, anatomy of a circle, potentialities of and limitations on the magic, bindings and tasks.

Permalink

Korovai takes notes.

Permalink

Cam makes an attempt to translate into his imperfect Eivarne some basic bindings - "The good preprints are paragraphs and paragraphs, but you can at least make it difficult to impulsively do damage, and inconvenient to do it deliberately."

Permalink

Sindri helps with the translations.

Permalink

Eventually Cam asks permission to make dinner.

Permalink

"Sure."

Permalink

"You want some? Any requests?"

Permalink

"Might as well. And I'm not picky."

Arctic charr in lemon butter sauce with rice pilaf and roasted brussels sprouts.

Permalink

That works!

Permalink

Om nom. "I can send the fake bird elsewhere," Cam mentions to the prince, "if at some point it would attract attention sitting in your room, for example if you are also about to be brought dinner."

Permalink

"The fake bird would be more noticeable leaving and returning than staying."

Permalink

"Okay. It can also go in a cupboard or whatever, it's a very tractable fake bird."
