Sure, he will fairy back on over.

Cir has apparently notified his family and his prospective minder already and started packing.

He hands him the promissory note. "Who needs to get this?"

"Tse Witwex. I can take it to her." He darts forward to give him a little kiss and then runs off.

He stands there blinking. 

He needs - more information about what being redmaged does to the redmage. To start out. Can Iamica be found -

Iamica is findable. She is in her house making lunch for the kids.

He shouldn't interrupt. Why is this so hard. 

He rehearses ways of phrasing the question, in his head -

One of the kids comes out to look at him. She is in (red) uniform complete with gloves and probably is not going to grab him.

He backs away slightly just in case. "Hi."

"Hi. Do you need something?"

"I wanted to talk to your mom but it can wait, if she's busy."

"Ma's dead."

"Sorry. Iamica. I would like to talk to Iamica."

The little redmage goes inside and presently Iamica comes out.

"Hi. Sorry, I can come back later if it's a bad time."

"It's all right, Tsira can stir. How can I help you?"

"I bought out Cir's contracts. He asked me to. He didn't want to dwindle and that seemed like - a reasonable thing to want - I am not clear on what he is expecting from me or how to do right by him or what exactly it means that redmages love you or - I really won't touch him if that's not what's best for him and everyone seems set on reassuring me I won't face particular social opprobrium if I just take at face value that he is my redmage and loves me but that's really not the point -"

"...what is the point?"

"To give everyone in the universe plenty and safety and happiness and freedom!"

"...well, you don't have to touch him to buy out his contract, if you don't want to and haven't already..."

"No, he shook my hand before I knew, I think he thought I wouldn't, otherwise, I just need to know what to do now."

"Oh, it won't dwindle him more if the same person touches him again," Iamica says.

"Yes, I know that. I just don't know how to make sure it's - what he wants -"

"You... could ask him?"

"The being-in-love thing doesn't mess with his judgment, or ability to express it, or anything like that?"
