A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.
This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.
She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.
- she does stop moving, for several seconds. She focuses. Tries to be very determined, very sure that she can move, if she keeps trying.
Eventually she does.
"There you go! The way Prince Telcar explained your magic, if you try that enough the magic will notice you want to be good at it?"
"Yeah, that's how it works. - he's prince Telcar?" she says, pointing at Hagan.
"Okay. I guess I won't make everybody forget unless one of the fairies learns it."
Nod. "I don't have another one prepared today but tomorrow I can prepare lots of spells useful for training this."
"He wants some of the ridiculous shower of magical goodies," Hagan whispers to her loudly.
"Oh, right. Uh." Here's another set of truesight goggles, a robe of archmagi, and another headband of mental superiority?
In that case she's not really immediately sure what to do. She looks up a her artificial sky and clenches her fists.
"I guess we could try more combat practice? I'm still tired, but there are probably spells that can fix that, if I look them up - "
She feels remarkably refreshed.
Ugh.
Probably she's being very immature.
"All right. Could practice for another hour now, probably."
"- actually I think you should go watch a movie with your boyfriend."
His friends look slightly scandalized at him.
"We are not, like, actually in a hurry here and you are a tiny child. No offense."
"I'm not a tiny child. I'm, like, about to age out of the child category, if I haven't already."
"Okay. But trying to work from metaphorical sunup to metaphorical sundown is going to hurt you really badly and there is not any need for it."
" - okay. See you guys, later, then."
And she makes an already set-up yurt for herself and telepathically contacts Connor.
Do you wanna, like, hang out, maybe?
Okay.
Then she can pull him into her yurt and plop a big soft bed inside it and snuggle him and turn on telepathy.
She feels like probably she should read to him at some point, since they haven't done that for half a week now and they cannot, actually, watch a movie. Also she's kind of terrified that she's going to have a million responsibilities that she's not prepared to deal with, and maybe she will mess it all up horribly, and maybe it's kind of selfish to be thinking about this instead of properly hanging out with him but also maybe possibly she is allowed to be selfish at him sometimes.
