Blink.

"Her."
catnik 2:36pm
"Ah."
earldebuke 2:37pm
"Ah?" earl says then realizes she has more questitons "Go on love" A whisper
catnik 2:37pm
"What did I do, there?"
earldebuke 2:37pm
"You aided the others called as she directed to perform the great working"
catnik 2:40pm
"What was the working?"
earldebuke 2:45pm
"Such is beyond the knowledge of a mere garment, no matter how fine, but you each did a part. Shaping, Binding, Guiding. The whole? You would have to ask her"
earldebuke 2:45pm
Earl's brows shoot up into his horns

"Ah... ah, yes. I am sure Grandmother knows exactly what the working was."
earldebuke 2:51pm
the cantrip hovers... waiting for what might be the last question
catnik 2:54pm
"Who else was called?"
earldebuke 2:59pm
"Three of you were called to serve, this I know. Wilders, for grandmother is fond of he young but childlings might have stirred her hunger too much. Women all. the sluagh for the river, the troll for the land, the nocker for the fire. The troll you know"

And as it ends, Zara feels a bit dizzy... in fact, she swoons!
earldebuke 3:05pm
And falls into her lover's arms, to wake peacefully in her bed. Still in the lovely dress.
earldebuke 3:06pm
But what she does then after must wait till later
