And Promise goes out of the library and flies to her gate and goes home.
She checks the gate. It's not settled yet.
When it does settle, three days later, she goes to a breeder colony and asks if they want some candied dewdrops in exchange for some paper; she adds that at least two of them will be needed to help carry all the dewdrops, can they come by in a few hours and pick them up. The way breeder colonies work any given two will be master and vassal, and it hardly matters which.
She goes back to her tree, makes a lot of candied dewdrops, and flies back Downside to tell the admin.
