01:00I did think you'd be here a little later.
01:02Anyway, before we get down to business, it might be best if you two have something...
01:09No, of course not.
01:11But my hearing happens to be quite sharp.
01:14And I heard Paimon's stomach rumbling a mile away.
01:22Oh, Paimon's stomach is rumbling for two!
01:26We must both be super famished!
01:29Don't you worry about that.
01:32I've got plenty of cookies and cake.
01:34And as you know, nothing bad ever happened to hungry travelers who accepted food from a witch.
01:51Paimon's so full!
01:53No matter how much she puts in her tummy, there's always more on her plate.
02:00Is she the champion eater from Natlan's Collective of Plenty?
02:05Alice mentioned her to me once.
02:07Apparently, she's a fascinating young lady.
02:10I imagine if she were to attend one of our parties, we'd need to set out three, maybe even seven
02:17plates.
02:18Paimon really can't eat anymore.
02:21She's coming apart at the seams!
02:24Can we just sound a business now?
02:25Oh, well, sorry.
02:29Alright, I gather you're here to deliver my homework.
02:33The one that Barbie prophesized?
02:37Nothing of the sort.
02:39We were discussing something completely different.
02:42The moon's massive shift has knocked her hydromancy out of whack.
02:46So she needs to head back for a while to undergo a period of silent meditation.
02:52While she's away, I'll be taking over responsibility for everyone's homework.
02:57I also plan to help her add the next round of homework to the dictionary.
03:02Huh.
03:03You can just swap the person in charge like that?
03:07Not like I had much choice.
03:10Before Barbie and Alice even told me about it, they'd already inscribed my special homework in the dictionary.
03:16As much as I'd like to erase the whole thing and keep on casually observing the world,
03:22Alice is busy maintaining T'Vat's borders, and Barbie is off realigning her hydromancy.
03:29Octavia didn't bother to come back.
03:32And you can forget about Reindotter.
03:34The other mages all have their own affairs to attend to, so the duty of supervising this homework has fallen
03:40to me.
03:43There really are!
03:44I don't even know how long it's been since we all got together to make this a proper tea party.
03:50In any case, as long as I finish my homework, my story will be officially inscribed in the dictionary.
03:57After that, I'll be able to go back to observing and guiding.
04:01So, Traveler, Paimon, it's time to deliver your message.
04:07What's my homework?
04:08Oh, and since this doesn't count as a prophecy, just something Barbie and Alice came up with ten minutes ago,
04:15there probably isn't any useful information to be found in that dictionary you're carrying.
04:21You're right, Nicole!
04:22We had a look before coming over, and there aren't any detailed instructions at all.
04:27There's only these two sentences!
04:31All right, that first sentence was clearly written by Barbie, but I bet my bottom Mora it was Alice who
04:39added the second.
04:41Anyway, let's get cracking on this homework.
04:44Just let me think.
04:45Where should we begin?
04:49Huh?
04:50Oh, Barbie gave me a rundown of my tasks just now.
04:55Basically, I just need to go to a few homework locations, make sure everything's up to scratch, and conduct some
05:02field work.
05:04Wait a minute!
05:05Paimon thought she was giving you a prophecy!
05:07How does a rundown count as a prophecy?
05:11Ah, well, you see, I naturally view anything Barbie says to me as some sort of prophecy.
05:19Besides, when Barbie wrote this homework of mine, all she actually did was flip straight to the final page of
05:26my story and tell me the ending in advance.
05:31Hmm, you make a fair point.
05:33But then, what's the difference between a prophecy and a spoiler anyway?
05:40All right, enough dawdling.
05:42Come on, follow me.
05:44We're going to...
05:47Hmm, yes.
05:49That seems like as good a place as any.
05:52Just like that?
05:54Hold on, how are we supposed to get the...
06:08All right, we're here!
06:11This city court has some really great views, don't you think?
06:15See that spot over there?
06:17That's the starting point!
06:21Did I use it to get us here faster?
06:24You bet I did!
06:25These Seelie courts are connected to the Ley Lines, and nobody really uses them.
06:30They're very handy when it comes to traveling about.
06:34Besides, the Seelie and I used to be angels, so we're old colleagues.
06:39I'm sure they won't mind me borrowing their homes every once in a while.
06:45We're early.
06:46In but a short while, a bard will come to sing odes of old,
06:51and call back the Thousand Winds that wander the ages.
06:58Shhh.
06:59Patience.
07:01All will be revealed in time.
07:03Before long,
07:05you will become a single lilting melody,
07:08ensconced in an ode,
07:10and the Thousand Winds will swirl around you.
07:13But before that happens,
07:16we should allow it to slumber in peace.
07:19Come,
07:20let's head to our next location.
07:28Is this Wolvendim?
07:30Doesn't seem like the best place for doing homework.
07:35This is the nearest Seelie court to where we're going.
07:38Don't worry,
07:39we're not far from the starting point.
07:50Where did all those Wolves jump out from?
07:54Hey!
07:55We're not here to hurt you!
07:57We're friends with Razor!
08:07That's right!
08:08That child already claimed victory in the battle he was destined to fight.
08:13As long as he stands beside his Lupical,
08:16I believe he can overcome any foe.
08:26I'm sure his Lupical feels the same way too.
08:29All right,
08:30that's about it for this place.
08:32I could do with a good rest.
08:34Come on,
08:35let's go.
08:36Time to head back for a cup of...
08:39Whoa!
08:40When did this door appear?
08:46This looks like Alice's handwriting.
08:49Let's take a look.
08:53Thanks for your help with the homework.
08:56Now hurry home and have a hot cup of tea.
09:00P.S.
09:01There is a surprise waiting behind this door.
09:05Hurry home?
09:07Wait a second.
09:09Why does this door look so familiar?
09:12There's no way it could lead to...
09:27Somewhere new?
09:28Hey,
09:29isn't this...
09:37No wonder Alice wanted to borrow the lodge key.
09:40She said she wanted to set up a tea room,
09:43even though I told her I already had one.
09:49It symbolizes the completion of guidance,
09:53the end of a journey,
09:55and the fulfillment of prophecy.
09:57You've followed Seelie before, right?
10:00Only when a Seelie returns to its Seelie court
10:04does its guidance come to an end.
10:06So, to give this unwelcome homework a clear conclusion,
10:11Barbie and Alice must have built a Seelie court right here.
10:16This is the only way for my story to be inscribed among everyone else's
10:21without interfering with their own homework.
10:26Ah, um, well, we're not all that different.
10:30Once upon a time, we were all angels, after all.
10:33But that doesn't really matter.
10:35What's important is what it symbolizes.
10:38It's like writing a novel.
10:39As long as the main outline is there,
10:41there'll always be a way to flesh out the details,
10:44so the pieces fall into place.
10:46As long as I take my seat,
10:48this homework of mine will be officially over.
10:50It's a nice touch, but it feels like...
10:54the ending to a story written on the fly.
10:57If Anya were here,
10:59I'm sure she'd have come up with something more clever.
11:03Don't you worry.
11:04That's an essential element as well.
11:13Hey, a treasure chest!
11:16Now this homework's starting to make sense.
11:20What did I tell you?
11:23It seems like this has been a fruitful little excursion after all.
11:27Ahem.
11:28And it seems my story has been formally inscribed in the dictionary.
11:34Which means...
11:36that today's homework ends here.
11:39And also, that there'll be a formal tutor
11:42to provide guidance on all future assignments.
11:45Well,
11:46that depends on what assignments are...
11:49assigned.
11:51Personally,
11:52I'd love nothing more than to bury chests
11:54for people to find by completing their homework.
11:57I'd leave clues and watch them enjoy
11:59a merry little treasure hunt.
12:00Now that would be fun!
12:03But Barbie's been keeping a close eye on me,
12:06so I'm not sure I'll get the chance.
12:23Which means...
12:26that today's homework ends here.
12:28And also,
12:29that there'll be a formal tutor
12:31to provide guidance on all future assignments.
