"I'll call Penelope to bring us some biscuits. Er, cookies, that is."

"Yeah, cookies sound good," Raven says. "Maybe chocolate chip?"

"Penelope's chocolate chip cookies from scratch are amazing," Rivers says.

"From scratch?" Raven says. "Don't you just have some waiting in a cookie jar? Or, wait, do you call that a biscuit bar?"

"Are you saying you don't want them hot and gooey from the oven?" you counter.

You can tell Raven is imagining the melted chocolate inside the cookies.

"Okay, that sounds good," she smiles softly.

You nod and grab your phone. You speed dial Penelope and bring up the video chat.

"Yes, Young Master Rory?" she asks.

"Afternoon, Penelope," you say. "Would you be able to bring us some fresh chocolate chip cookies?"

"To the library?" she asks as she looks around behind you. "Won't that make a mess with the crumbs?"

"We'll be careful as we eat," you say. "I've learned to clean up after myself out there in the world, you know."

"I would hope so," Penelope chuckles. "All right, give me some time and I'll send those up to you fresh from the oven."

"Thank you," you say.

You hang up and put your phone away, then walk back to join the others at the seals.

"Let's get through as many of these as we can before those cookies are here," you say.

Raven nods and the two of you face the brackets again.

"So after Tol and the seals his cleared out," you say as you look down the lines. "Faraera, Faraera, Faraera, Faraera."

"Udwa," Raven says.

"Faraera."

"Uidre, Udwa, Udwa, Udwa."

"What're you working towards, removing all these seals?" Rivers asks.

"Well that's a bit of a family secret," you say. "Faraera."

"Oh my," Rivers says. "And you're willing to let Raven know it?"

"It's a long story, but I already have an idea of what the secret is," Raven says. "Udwa."

"Oh," Rivers says. "I see."

"Faraera, Faraera."

"Uidre, Udwa."

"Faraera."

"Udwa, Udwa."

"Paeshae."

"Udwa."

"Faraera, Paeshae."

"There's a faster way to do this," Rivers says. "At least, there is with me around."

She stands up and walks closer to the book.

"If enough mana touches the seals, they can be used as signals to break an Enchantment."

"Oh, wow," Raven says. "But, then, you'd have to touch your lower back for Uidre, and where else?"

"Udwa is higher up on my back," Rivers says. "But Paeshae is just above my chest while Faraera is just under my heart."

"Oh, well that's okay," Raven says. "Rorek will just look away when you have to touch your chest."

"Well, yes," Rivers says, starting to blush. "But, after using mana for lockpicking Tol, I'm going to need some assistance..."

"Rorek, you stay over there," Raven says.

"What? I wasn't going to suggest anything."

Raven keeps her eyes on you as she walks over to Rivers.

"I'll touch Uidre's and Udwa's seals on your back while you take care of your chest," she tells her.

"O-Okay," Rivers nods.

"Where exactly on your back is the Udwa seal?"

"Between my shoulder blades."
