surefooted moccasins

Bella completes her moccasins. They're easy, but tedious; she's putting tiny parts of the spell on each of the hundreds of glass beads that gets sewn on. Last time it took her a couple of days, but by the end of the process she could do the magic and the sewing at the same time; this time it's an easy rhythm and by an hour after lunch she's got them beaded and pieced and a binding enchantment laid on each of them and the pair together to hold all the beads in a coherent whole. She says her cleaning spell - the castle isn't dirty, but any amount of walking around barefoot leaves dirt on one's feet - and slips them on and gets up and walks around experimentally. Success!

She spends the rest of the time before the delegation is prepared to go sitting outside at the Skyvault, looking at it with various lens combinations and taking fascinated notes, and spending time with her fiancée-and-a-half.

She's ready to leave when the rest of the wizard-visiting party is.

The diplomat is a good enough diplomat not to audibly sigh with relief.

The diplomat also manages to look sympathetic about Cantha's husband! He is such a good diplomat. Someone should give him a biscuit.

...Bella is better at the diplomat's job than he is!

"We can offer you the protection of the Enchanted Forest," the diplomat murmurs, "provided you obey our laws and customs."

There aren't very many of those. Not strict ones, anyway.

"The forest itself can protect you," says the diplomat, regaining some of his confidence. "Now that the royal family knows you're here."

"If you abide by the laws," says the diplomat, "and take only wisps of magic, the royal family will protect you."

"Not any more than any other properly recognized resident of the forest," says the diplomat, "which is to say, no."
