The Princess is peering at some maps with some of her favorite sunshine tepals. Another sunshine tepal admits Maria and Promise.
"Hello?" says the Princess, who is wearing a flower crown and a tastelessly large amount of gossamer.
"Hello," says Promise. "I'm called Promise and I'm here about your library ad, if you haven't already found a sorcerer for it."
"Oh! Can you do it?"
"I never have," says Promise, "but the theory looks straightforward, at least with my sorcery background."
"How long would it take you?" the Princess inquires.
"I'd need to spend time around you to get sufficiently familiar with you as a spell target," says Promise, "but probably not more than six months of frequently interacting or just watching you do whatever you do all day, maybe less. I could be a little quicker if you have a harmonic map of an area around here where I could do the casting."
"And what would you want for this?"
"The ad said vassals or resources. I'd prefer the former; ideally not the sunshine tepals since there are a lot of them and I don't fully understand what social structures I'd be breaking up. I'm pretty comfortable in the resources department. But I could probably be convinced to take a significant quantity of books."
"I've got a pair of creekpearls."
"I'm willing to learn to de-age you and then do it at least once for a pair of creekpearls." Which Promise will then send off to do as they like as far away as they care to, because she knows how nice that is to hear.
