space oddity

One day in fairyland, there is an immensely bright flash of light a about a mile above the ground. Something like a metal house is suddenly flying through as if it came through a portal, faster than all but the fastest fairies.

It's flying, not directly down, but still very much towards the ground. It does not take long for it to stop flying and start carving through earth and trees. Eventually it runs out of momentum near a certain lake. The thing seems to still be in one piece, which is rather miraculous considering the two miles of destroyed trees behind it.

After a few minutes, a mortal covered in unusually bulky clothes emerges from the thing. All that is visible is his face. He starts inspecting the outside of his space oddity.

You might be guessing that I take promises to others very seriously because of my nickname, but that's actually not what it's about. Barring discovering something unexpectedly horrible about you between now and then, though, I promise.

She says "Alisyrrabel".

And then, having set up appropriate target dummies ahead of time, she "says" her new one, complete with the flying and the exploding and the hand gestures and the fairylights.

Well, those are all acceptable side effects.

She doesn't fix her ears. But she thanks the apellodyne in fairy lights.

It's not the same? Is it not silver? she asks, taking the coin.

Maybe. Transmutation isn't a particularly difficult application of sorcery and you do have your sensory advantages on the ship, but knowing more about the substances can't hurt.

I would like the books. Sorcery books can be found in any respectable library. I have some, which you may copy while you're here but not take outright.

You can't render the science books in paper form?

I have ink and paper. I'm just concerned your device would break in some way before I could scribe everything on it out myself.

I can expand my tree. How many books are you thinking of?

It will take me a few days to grow my tree quite that large. ...And I'd like the tablet too in case it doesn't break and I have to move again.

I don't have it all now, but I can make it. My method of copying is probably slower than yours.

Sounds good to me.

Promise delivers sorcery books and paper and ink, and she coaxes her tree taller and roomier.
