Evening, Mirrorbound. My name's Myr Shivana, for those who don't know my voice.
I've need of someone with experience mediating disputes--a village elder, a judge, even a senior ench--senior academic, if you've had particularly bad students. [There's a note of faint amusement in his voice, there.]
You'd be helping settle a matter that's caused no end of pain and distress to those involved. The reasons behind it are sensitive in nature, so discretion's a must.
I can compensate your time--with cunes or honey or service, whatever's preferred.
[...]
Also--unrelated to the other issue, if there's any Witches or Fae who specialize in illusions invoking taste instead of sight, I'd like to talk to you. Or cooks specializing in food for folk who can't taste much, I s'pose could work too. [He sounds cheerier about this one, at least.]

But that last part.]
...Fae can manipulate taste?
[She is fae. But she has had her powers a whole month and how do they work?]
no subject
That's my understanding--their illusions work on all the senses, if they're practiced at it.

I don't know about food for people who can't taste much, but. I know how to cook and so does my housemate, and it's not all the typical stuff in Aefenglom. But if it's a physical issue...
[They trail off, and Myr can probably Hear their shrug.]

Legal. Definitely legal; proper to call it a feud at this point.
[With all the problems those entailed.] --And frustrating as it must be for those listening, I've given about as much detail as I'm willing to in public.

[Because he's a nerd, who still loves magic.]
no subject
[Well, they definitely can't help with that.]
Strongly scented... I mean, that's. Vague. A lot of food smells incredibly strongly - like durian, or, like, kimchi or basically any other kind of fermented foods. D'you have an idea of what you want them to experience?
[You big ol' nerd.]

voice, un: hector
[Hector is completely useless in terms of what Myr is asking for, but he has a hammer and very few scruples. Which can be useful for certain kinds of problems.]
no subject
[All right would be lying.
Myr considers a moment, then clicks the connection over to private and adds,]
I don't remember if I mentioned back in Maiuril that my other Bonded was attacked, not long after Everett was.
[It had been a bad time and he doesn't remember any longer who he had or hadn't told, in his excess of fury. It's not a feeling he much likes.]
Private
[Mostly, he'd felt through their one-day bond disaster how fucked up Myr had been over it. Though, at the time, he'd assumed what he'd saw came from himself, not the other faun, so whoops?]
I take it our solution for Everett's attacker can't be applied here?

One thing stands out, though, something they hadn't discussed.]
I appreciate you asking, but... taste isn't an essential need.
[His teeth are probably thanking him, even if taking less pleasure in eating means that his clothes hang a little more loosely on him.]
no subject
no subject
Anyway, I'm touched that you thought of it.
[And would have, L suspects, even if Myr's Bonded wasn't in danger of failing to survive the winter based on his alarming body fat percentage.]
It would make it easier to go along with everything else.
[He agreed and committed to it; it doesn't mean that it will be easy, should they manage to find someone willing and capable of handling their tangled affair.]

i mean i don't specialize or anything but i cook sometimes
[sometimes.]
why what dyou need, better recipes?
A SHINJUWU APPROACHETH; text, typos intentional;
I need things someone who can't taste much anymore will want to eat because otherwise he barely does I think things with a stronger smell to them might help.

[ Well there is one thing he forgot to mention ]
Fair warning, tho, as it might include a trial, or even settling the dispute by combat.
no subject
If she does want a trial by combat, though, [and here a rueful amusement creeps into his voice,] will she allow proxies? Because I already know how that fight goes, otherwise.
[Either a stalemate as the disputants refused it for their various reasons, or an unfair slaughter with the winner predetermined by whether the rules allowed magic.]

voice, un:Archer
[that aside, he treats it like a worthy challenge. Hook, bait and sinker.]
The taste aside, food usually affects other senses. Scent, texture, consistence, all of it matters.
no subject
And what a catch, too, since Myr knows exactly how good Archer's cooking is as a restorative. mmm.]
Things that'll restore someone's appetite if he's lost interest in eating what he can't taste. Can't have meat and he prefers sweeter things, but I think, [now that he's spoken to L at more length about it,] we've got room to explore ideas if they've got pleasing flavors.
