Whatever power keeps Flora existing here is antithetical to Clive's new power. It is certainly pattern-based. It may be her will alone. "Yes," Flora replies, "it seems that I am."

Clive studies Flora and her surroundings through the card.
"I'd intended to offer you sanctuary if I could figure out a way to get you out of Tir, but it looks like I can't do so as directly as planned. I might be able to come up with alternatives, if you'd like me to try. Or I could send someone else to do what I cannot." |

"Who did you have in mind, before I agree to that?" Flora asks.

"If it requires lots of Pattern-power? It depends on who I can track down. Dexter, maybe. I'd prefer to rig up some way using trumps though."

"Only Clarissa's children were experts with trumps," Flora replies "Of course, they were good with the pattern too."

"Yeah," Clive says. "I learned a lot from them."
He digs out one of the charged aces from his trump deck and offers it to Flora. "What I have in mind would be a scaled-up version of that. I'd like to see if it works for you, though, before going and building the better one." |

"My. It certainly feels impressive," Flora remarks. "What is it?"

"There's a small burst of energy stored in it," Clive explains. "Useful for when one needs a little extra oomph. I've used it to assist in a difficult trump contact before."

"Somehow I think my situation is worse than 'a difficult trump' don't you?" Flora asks. "Perhaps you could get the pattern to come calling."

Clive nods. "The trump thing would be an intermediate step to get you solid enough to walk another power that will sustain you."
"I am not exactly on speaking terms with the Pattern," (his expression here hints at Massive Understatement) "and Dworkin is still unwilling to be found. Amber cannot help you until someone accepts, and is accepted as, the job of master of the Pattern... at least it isn't Brand, though." |

"So, find a replacement for Dworkin." Flora encourages. "It appears I have nothing but time."

"I've leaned on Random about that," Clive notes. "It'll inevitably be resolved, sooner or later. How long will you be able to wait? If things don't go fast enough, I'll make additional efforts before then."

"How should I know?" Until you came along..." Flora shrugs.
