Time Passes Quilt, Book and Bard

Tory starts to worry about how Jake and Alex are going to take over the
kingdoms, and how she's going to return home. In an effort to get Jake
to stop stonewalling, Seth tells Tory that it might behoove her to see
if the bracelets Alex still has on his wrists work in Hildegarde.
Once they establish that the bracelets don't have any effect in
Hildegarde,  Jake is willing to sit down and consider the idea of
taking the mantle of power over the Delphic Kingdom.
