In order for her to assist me with this, she would have you anger someone. Not in a petty way, but truly and harshly- irrevocable anger, the sort that is difficult to recover from.
It's not... I understand that her demands are difficult, but it's what gives her the power to create these objects for you.
For my part, hopefully I can make it better by requesting the opposite. I would have you create true joy in someone else. If you do both, then we can grant you this object.
[ ...Brilliant. There's only one person he can fathom being able to create either emotion in. He and Newton are so often enraged in every variation of petty anger, it would be difficult to discern irrevocable anger -- except, that argument their first night here.
If only he could trade on retroactive emotion.
He's made up his mind. Longer term joy -- a piano, music in Newton's life -- and he's deliberately tried to enrage Newton before, in Haven, if for more important reasons. ]
Two questions before I attempt it:
(1) Is there any rule against first informing the individual of what I intend to do, if I still succeed? It's rather dirty otherwise.
(2) Need it be different people? A strange question, I understand, given that one may seem difficult to elicit after the other. It may be possible.
[ ETA: Boy, he hopes the answer to the first question is no, because he went ahead and tried and that was terrible. ]
I suppose not, for your first question, as long as it's genuine. I don't know if it would be as genuine if the person knows, but if you feel confident that it will be enough then you may tell them.
As far as different people are concerned, it isn't necessary, but I thought it would be easier.

[Poor Newt, though... Delight really needs better taste in friends, apparently.]
