ask_nicelyIt turns out that Adana's space station is not in Bartalamos' jurisdiction. She wouldn't be inclined to care much, except that means that in her new jurisdiction, she does not have a license. Since she is very much a summoner, and would not like to be an illegal summoner - she will take their test. She's fortunate in the fact that this particular government plays fair with foreigners that have summoner's licenses. She does not have to go through the grueling paperwork process, or wait ages in line, or take a test she knows all of the answers to, anyway.
What she does need to do, though, is demonstrate a capability to summon and bind a daeva, securely. Their definition of secure is different from hers. Theirs involves binding a daeva to two phrases and a task. This isn't the kind of thing Adana likes to do to her summons. It's mean, and it feels like she's reducing them to being less than people. There is one that she knows of that's used to it, at least. She doesn't know if that makes it worse, or better. So she will ask, first.
This circle is quite a bit neater than the last one, and is missing the 'no talking' clause. Calling friendly neighborhood demon, want to get summoned?

She answers some questions about how she beat her attacker, to which she motions to Cam. They understand, accept this as sufficient proof, and then send people to collect the still-trapped fugitive.
Then, off to get a proper summoner certification. She gives them a record of her summoning history (squeaky clean, until Cam) and then they get to inspecting how secure her binding over Cam is.

Date: 2014-06-01 05:16 am (UTC)An extremely loud sudden noise from across the room - to which Cam reacts by speechlessly interposing himself between that noise and Adana, eyes wide, obviously alarmed but not capable of squeaking about it - suffices to verify that he's gagged.

When they are done, back onto her little shuttle they go, where she snaps the binding as soon as the airlock is closed, and hugs him. "Thank you," she says.
