"Hello, angel. I'm Nick, I'm helping negotiate. We're after raw metals for an industry startup, a fairly long list actually. I'm not sure what you'd want but my opening offer is this tablet." He gives a brand name and model number from two years ago. "It's got a five-day-old version of the Kellifer library, a big name in fairyland, on it, too.

"Oh, hm. Sure, why not," he says, still smiling. "What kind of industry startup?"

Eva will just stand here, not agreeing to anything unless Nick specifically tells her it's okay.

"Making a new, modular version of those convenient hydrocarbon batteries, to start with, and maybe a custom chem-mixer workshop. If we do enough processing first, daeva-materials aren't illegal here." That's technically not a lie.

"Oh, huh. Sounds fun! Should we get started then?"

He looks down at the circle, then back up at Eva, still smiling. My, isn't he a happy angel!

"Nick?"

"Hold on, it's her first summon. Let me show you the list first." He opens it up on the tablet and displays it to him. "Just to be crystal clear about it, the deal is that you use the raw materials provided to make the things listed here, in exchange for this computer and a copy of the library I mentioned. Both of you, agreed?"

Theo looks through the list to make sure there's nothing too dangerous or, y'know, radioactive, then says, "Yeah."

Eva looks to Nick, just to make sure, then says "Yes."

Some of it's valuable, like palladium, but there is indeed nothing too dangerous.

"Excellent, let's get started." He floats the computer over to Theo.

He takes it, puts it in his jacket pocket, then says, "Sure! Should I go through the list from top to bottom, or are there specific things you want first, or...?"

Eva will just stay out of the way, watching the changer work. It's a new magic! She's interested!

"Top to bottom is fine. I'll be sorting it as you work. When you get to the liquids I'll hover timbers over those tanks in the corner." His little army of drones appear, ready to help organize shelves.

"Okay!" he says, then starts changing the stacks of wood into the appropriate materials. He looks like he's having fun! It's almost like he was born to be an angel. Oh wait. He was.

Nick efficiently sorts the transmuted things, or gives them to drones near the shelves to sort. Look how professional and unsarcastic he's being.

Theo probably appreciates that fact, but he doesn't know what the fairy's like when he's not being all professional and interacting with another daeva, so.

Change change change.

It only takes about forty-five minutes, in total. "I think we're done now, good job. Could we have your name and an idea of what you'd like next time, in case Eva decides to summon you again?"

"I'm Theo. And hm... I don't know. Some music? Maybe some movies or whatever they're called now? I'm fine with a lot of things."

"Well, it was nice to meet you, Theo."

And if that's all, Eva will dismiss him.

... Pop!

Yeah, that's all. He notes down the date and time of the summoning, so they could repeat it some time.

"As I said, changers who answer summons are not nearly as generally malicious as makers who do it. Still pays to be cautious, of course."

"Yeah, he seemed nice. I'm glad we were careful, though – the idea of him doing that," here, she tilts her head in the direction of the metal, "to me... It's still frightening."

"Sufficient carefulness does make it relatively safe, though. Say, I think it's about time to make our own website, advertise stuff, maybe do that kick starter thing. With all this stuff I think it'll only take a month or two until I can start mass-producing things."

"That sounds like a good idea! It's great that everything's working out so well."

"Careful. You'll jinx it."

"That only happens in movies and storybooks," she responds, smirking.
