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.]

[Nothing is ever simple.
They make a considering noise.]
Well they’re both kind of time consuming, but, you know, anything that’s worth it generally is. I could make some, if you like? Hopefully he eats them but if not you can try something new!
no subject
[--Oh, wait. Baked goods. Perhaps focus on that first before chasing someone else's life story,
you nerd.]I would like that. What d'you need for ingredients? [He'll buy, is the implication.]
no subject
[They will happily talk about it, later. Get some use out of their degree.]
Well, butter. Lots of butter, and flour, and- [And they will rattle off a list of ingredients that I am not going to write out because that would be an incredibly boring tag.] I could write down the recipe for you, too, if you wanted to try to make it yourself...
[They don’t Know...]
no subject
[Please, lay this whole science on him.
He listens attentively to the list of ingredients, setting them out in his memory tower just so for later recall when next he's shopping.]
Ah--actually, better if you were to tell it to me, to memorize; I'd not be able to read if you gave me the written one, though I truly appreciate the offer.
no subject
[They will gladly tell you so much. Perhaps too much.]
Ah? [...] Oh! Sorry, sorry, I didn't... Realize. But, yeah, sure! I can explain how to do it, if you want.
no subject
[Oh no this is so needy and he doesn't even know this person's name.] --well, let's hear it and I'll tell you after.
no subject
They pause for a moment, making a thoughtful noise.]
I'm sure it'll be something you can manage. Complex things can always be broken down to be simpler.
no subject
Ah--they can, but. I've--always had trouble with just having people tell me things, if they're hard. I have to do them to really get them right.
[He sounds very embarrassed about this. "Different learning modes" were not a Thing in Circles.]
no subject
Oh, more of a hands-on learner then? That's not a problem. Just means it'll probably get way messier.
[They can have a Ghost moment, it'll be great.]
no subject
And he sounds incredibly relieved that Bailey just...sort of takes this all in stride.]
That's it exactly--and messier's fine. Beyond fine.
no subject
You say that now, but when it comes time to clean up...
no subject
[He was raised better than that!!]
