"Anything else before I bring this to my room?"

Permalink

How was your day?

She has read about humans doing this in books.  Kind of.

Permalink

"Pretty good. Wrote some letters, practiced harpsichord more just in case that's ever magically useful, saw some patients with Kerem down in the infirmary."

Permalink

 

In a few more days I will help there?

"It's a ways from your room, far enough that I usually take a horse - I guess I don't know if you'd have a problem on a horse if someone led it for you - but if you can heal with music, then quite possibly, we're usually transferring injuries onto animals that we're about to eat anyway and sicknesses into rats."

I heeled you.

Permalink

"Oh, absolutely, but that was when you had your voice and I wasn't sure how long it'd take to adapt to a harp."

Permalink

I want to try in a few days.

I think it is a good idea for you to learn how to play music that isn't songs.  I don't know if it will work to give you my magic but I have hope, and I have no hope if you don't know this.

"Is that more complicated than improvising? I'm working on improvising."

Permalink

That's the word!  I think it's good to learn this.

"I'm on it. I like the magic I have but having two would be amazing. You're already saving our castle a lot of bother about firewood."

With five pillows?

When the boat caught on fire I thought it was on purpose at first.

Permalink

"No. We need fire aboard boats for light and heat and cooking, so there's always a risk, but the boat is mostly not supposed to be on fire."

Permalink

I knew that very quickly.  Can fire do the same on land?

Permalink

"Yes, but it's easier to get away from it - still not easy, but possible at all."

Permalink

I think I want no fire in my room once I make it not dark and cold for me.  How many people live here?

Permalink

"In the castle? A few dozen. - the castle's mostly made of stone, which doesn't burn."

Permalink

That's good.

Permalink

"Yeah. And, like, the servants do know what they're doing tending the fires, they have practice, but we can replace candles with magic lights and fires for warmth with warm objects - warm enough objects might still have some tendency to catch things on fire though."

Permalink

 

I didn't know that.

Permalink

"The pillows won't, they're only about as warm as a person, but something hot enough to cook stuff might? I'm not sure, I don't cook."
