"If I ever start looking for one that will be much appreciated!"

And that's all. He is technically supposed to notify his probation officer.

He can do that after they lightleap back to New Valinor.

The dragons settle in. He takes another summons.

Unattended circle, if there's a camera it's not obvious. Gag. Heavy binding.

Well, that's obnoxious. Languages?

New dialect of English, smattering of Japanese.

Is the binding paranoid-ly worded enough to prohibit him from casting spells, if he can manage any silent ones.

It doesn't mention spells specifically, but he can't affect anything outside his circle at any remove except by being visible and the gag is one of the really thorough ones that won't let him do anything symbolically communicative.

Then he will stand here and be annoyed. 

Someone sticks their head in eventually, looks mildly surprised, and leaves without speaking.

"Minor's been gone a while," he says to Amriac the next day, "want to make sure he's okay?"

"'Kay." Check. "In a circle."

"Stuck there?"

"Well, he's in it, but maybe not..." She gets the circle itself, squints at the binding. "Dang."

"Mmm?"

"Uh, whoever wrote this is an asshole? Lookit."

He looks. "What the fuck. Yes. Uh, where are they -"

"Uh," check, "I think that's Imbrium City," more surroundings, "yep."

"If we write the police will they take care of it? That's not allowed, right?"

"Why would I know?"

He writes Cam. Hey, some asshole summoned Minor and isn't letting him go, aren't there laws about that?

"I should go make a video for him, he'd like that. This is very dramatic, it'll get his audience all worked up."

"Aw, they'll be all worried."

Cam's response says that it depends on location but if you keep a daeva without negotiating a task for more than a week and the daeva cannot (or does not) express satisfaction with the taskless arrangement yeah you can get in trouble.

The location is Imbrium City and a week is kind of a long time under that obnoxious binding. 

Minor is missing! the video is titled. "Minor took a summons a couple days ago and he hasn't come home. I was wondering what sort of project would take that long, so I asked Amriac to check where he was for me - and he's locked up and gagged in a garage somewhere. The law says it's okay to do that to him for up to a week, so there's nothing we can do yet, but we're pretty nervous. Minor's summoner, if you're out there, please let him come home!"
