He's moving her to a different court to see if it'll improve her attitude. She's allowed to fly. It's been a long, long time since she was allowed to -

She is only allowed to fly to her destination, not anywhere else. She notices that she is not where she should be, that she cannot progress to where she was told to go, and she careens out of control when her wings won't flap anymore, and she crashes.

"When and how should I find you again for magic discussions?"

[summa_iniuria]

"Do you have access to a phone?"

[eversomuchfun]

"Not very conveniently."

[imeanforever]

"What is a phone?"

[summa_iniuria]

She holds up the mortal artifact she was conversing with earlier. "A long-distance communication tool."

[imeanforever]

"How handy."

[summa_iniuria]

"Yes."

[imeanforever]

"Anyway, I don't have one, what's your second choice?"

[summa_iniuria]

"How about you meet me in the library tomorrow after sundown, and I will give you a phone then," Royal suggests.

[imeanforever]

"Okay."

[summa_iniuria]

"Sounds good. See you then."

[imeanforever]

"See you. I suppose I'll go try to sleep to adjust to being diurnal."

[eversomuchfun]

"Won't that be fun," says Tea.

[imeanforever]

"Enormously."

[eversomuchfun]

Snort.

Well, back to the crypt they go.

[imeanforever]

Indeed. And Promise checks her gate - it's not settled - and goes through her other gate to curl up in her tree and try to sleep.

[eversomuchfun]

And Tea... probably sleeps?

He is once again sitting and drinking tea when Promise returns.

[imeanforever]

"Good morning, Tea."

[eversomuchfun]

"Good morning."

[imeanforever]

She checks her gate. It's still not settled. Sigh. "Breakfast?"

[eversomuchfun]

"Sure."

Plants. Plant derivatives.

[imeanforever]

Nom.

"So what is there to do around here during the day?"

[eversomuchfun]

"Damn little, honestly. And going around in broad daylight, you'd be best served to hide the wings if you don't want uninformed humans asking you why you're walking around in a fairy costume and thinking you are insane if you tell them you are a fairy. But we could make a completely legitimate visit to the public library and read about anything other than demons or magic."

[imeanforever]

"I don't know how to make only part of myself invisible."

[eversomuchfun]

"Well, figure out an alternate solution or endure awkwardness and mild social censure, I suppose," he says.
