"I don't actually see how that helps."

"It'd get him out of a Ganymede trial without having to do the 'terrible secrets, can't have him tried here' thing but no it doesn't really help."

"I honestly do not think he would be okay, or possible to get back to an okay state, after thirty years gagged."

"Even with the soul Elves -?"

"It's not the lack of conversation it's the inability to create or record or - think, I think my father and Minor think on paper -"

"- drawing?"

"Honestly if we decide he should take the prison summons I think the best option is just to keep him unconscious."

Hug.

"Want to yell at the summoner but that probably won't help at all."

"Yeah."

Elsewhere someone else is less deterred from yelling at Minor's summoner by the fact it is a bad idea. He finishes the circle.

Fairy. Confused fairy.

"Hi, asshole. I'm just going to throw a brick at your head and then leave you here indefinitely, you can let me know when you start feeling like you'd totally kill me to go home, it'll be educational."

"I - wh-"

"My. Little. Brother. Was in the middle of handling an emergency with thousands of lives at stake this afternoon, when the summons he thought was going to get him where he was needed to help instead took him to your house. Remember that? I've never heard anyone mention that dying affected their memory."

Silent overwhelmed fairy.

Theodore throws a brick at his head and then leaves.

"- ow -"

"By which I'm sure you mean 'it has just occurred to me that doing that is wrong, convey my apologies to your brother?"

Now the fairy is crying.

He leaves.

"Wait, please - is that all you want, I can apologize, I -"

SIgh. "I want peoples' lives not to have been pointlessly ruined in the first place. If you have an idea about how to fix it by all means go ahead."
