"Do you want me to make them raise you? I may be able to, assuming they don't have a way to have lied."

" - yes. Would you?"

"I'd want to have some reason to believe they weren't going to do it themselves before I started slinging around enforced orders, since that would make the situation potentially adversarial and I don't, personally, have practice from that end, and I don't think I can derive all the names plus I need actual original names so it's possible they don't know each other's, but given all that I would sooner not let them just kill you and leave you that way."

" - I could write down a syllable of mine. I would really really really recommend not looking at it but it should help you get the ones you couldn't get already, if you needed it."

"Well, that's drastic, but I suppose everything under consideration is drastic.

Your grandmother's probably in their debt at the moment for being resurrected unless the debt system completely fails to parse resurrection as an event. Given that I'm not sure killing you would even slow them down..."

"Might slow them down except for the one who resurrected her."

"Right. I'm not sure if they have a plan for getting disentangled with her... I'll ask."

Do you have a plan for getting disentangled with his grandmother?

" - no? She has to give us stuff?"

I'm not sure if she's even in fact entangled with you. She'd be able to see it, so you could ask her, and if she isn't, then Lohte won't owe your friend for the resurrection and can buy her debt from you with what you use to get him in deep enough to kill; but if she is then, yes, that needs to be resolved for you to slow down, though specifically giving you objects isn't the only way.

"Hey," he says to the fairy, "are you in my debt?"

She nods. 

"Okay. Hang on, we're going to fix that."

What else can resolve it?

I think the most popular options among fairies are violence and sex but I don't go in for those so I would need to ask for details about how specifically to calibrate it for whatever amount. Most other stuff is more time-consuming except for giving people items, and I don't know if she's still technically in possession of any stuff she might have had at the time of her death. If none of that sounds good it might make sense for you to sell me specifically her debt in exchange for some magical service, I can do magic pretty quickly but would need Lohte to gauge how much magical lighting or whatever it would take to cover.

"How much debt?" he asks the woman.

"...for my life," she replies, as if she thinks he must be very dense.

"That's going to take a really long time to pay off conventionally. I think he should trade you."

"How much would it be - I don't know what this all looks like to you, would a gate do it, or a few of them, or lights, or...?"

"A life is a lot. A couple of gates, maybe."

"If sorcery even works there, which it may not. If it doesn't I can transmute something here, if there's any metal that would be more valuable if I turned it into some other kind of metal or something like that."

"There are definitely some metals that are more valuable than other metals but we have the ability to make arbitrary amounts of stuff at will, sort of, does that affect it?"

"I don't know - would transmuting something for them be less value given that they can make arbitrary amounts of stuff at will -"

" - I have no idea. They can make arbitrary amounts of stuff at will? That's - astonishingly powerful -"

"I think that's how they plan to pay enough to kill you."

"I don't know how to check if their abilities change the value of objects given to them without giving them any objects, and I take it the gate can only be open a minute."

"I could see if I get lucky with one of mine. - once we have visibility we should check if your grandmother is still entangled with whichever of your parents."

"Oh - yeah, we should. My father."

"Would the lot of you like to consider my opening a gate instead of you doing it as a favor to you for which you're prepared to trade as much as possible of his grandmother's debt, and then check through there if name entanglement persists after resurrection by checking between Lohte's father and grandmother without any of you watching lest you also guess his name, and if it does proceed with the plan, including thinking of additional magic you might like done if a gate isn't enough to buy his grandmother's debt?"

He repeats this to himself. 

"I assume the considering things favors is relevant to managing the debt, somehow?"
