"Anyway I think the grownups want to talk with you about the terms for the long term summons thing because I might say something wrong. I'm just doing the interviews. So I will tell Timothy to summon you and then he will do that and then you can have as many kids as you want."

"Thank you."

He beams at her.

She beams and makes a piece of paper and tries to remember names.

He plays with his car while she does that.

"I can't think of any more."

"Okay! Thank you! I will tell Timothy to get back to you soon or write a note if there's a delay for some reason." Hug.

Hug!

"Do you want to go or do you want to stay while I talk to more people?"

"I don't want to get in your way."

"If you know the people you recommended then you probably wouldn't be getting in the way too much."

"Okay. I'll stay."

He carefully lays out another circle and copies a name from her list.

A demon appears! (And so on, and so forth.)

And eventually he proudly brings Cam a long list of demons who want to raise kids on a long-term summons in Godspring. And one demon who a different demon said was mean - "she was nice to me, though. It wasn't just the binding she wasn't trying to kill me at all."

"Well, some people are only mean to certain targets."

Nodnod. "Anyway Mrindeh asked about the government list of murderdemons and said she should be on it and I said I'd tell you. So I'm telling you."

"She might already be," says Cam. "What's her name?"

Piece of paper! He can barely spell in the tengwar and those are phonetic.

Cam looks her up - "yep, she's already on a list."

"Sorry, should I not have dismissed her."

"It's okay, the binding was good but it wasn't designed for releasing a murderdemon under."

He nods solemnly. "What did she do?"

"Broke into a few houses, killed a few people. Left the kids though."

"That's strange. It's not like grownups are less -" vulnerable, he sends as a concept rather than try finding all those syllables - "if you're a daeva -"
