"Can't refuse Angelique's tea and cakes." Fernanda says.

The triplets take seats.

Angelique laughs. "You flatter me!" And sets about playing hostess and pouring the triplets cups and plating up cake for them. "What did you wish to discuss with me? You seem very excited!"

"We figured out artifacts!"

"In a way that should generalize.  We can make Drex healing portable."

Angelique bursts into delighted laughter. "I knew if anyone could manage it it would be you three!"

"-Oh. Wow. The- implications of that are..." Aaren is very, very impressed.

"Pretty great implications," Theresa says. "So of course we came to our favorite well-connected magical person to share the great news."

"We also got an artifact of flight as a practical demonstration."

"Ooh. I wanna try that."

"Well, have you been a responsible big boy that has eaten all his vegetables?"

"Hard to not eat the vegetables when Dad makes them taste so good!"

"Unless it's asparagus. I can't get him to eat asparagus."

"Asparagus is evil."

"We can't have good boys eating evil vegetables. In that case, do you want to give it a try?" Felcia turns to Aaren. "We have two, you can take turns."

"I might have to take you up on that. But I'll let Lan have his fun first."

"Should we move this outside then?"

"Of course, do you want to fly too Percy? I mean, if you can."

"I better wait a while before I do anything that complicated."

"We do have one of the best healers around here," Angelique says as she gets to her feet again. "If it's injury you're worried about."

"I am not, but thank you."

"...Are you sure you're alright?"

"I am."

Angelique starts to usher them out of the library, and out through the back of the house to the herb garden behind the kitchen. The view from the back gives an idea that Angelique's property is massive.

Percy is too distracted to appreciate this fact.

Hopefully, neither Percy nor Lan are too distracted to be instructed on how to use the flying artifacts.
