Amber

[circleprodigy]

[The sound of light snoring can be heard as Ivaera adjusts the amber slice, revealing her seated with a certain mabari hound sleeping with his head in her lap. She remains clad in that armor, despite the humidity. A little discomfort isn't enough for her to shed it yet, but maybe as the week wears on her tune will change. Her voice is only slightly quieter than usual, since she's soft-spoken even without not wanting to wake the spoiled canine.]

Since I don't dare move at the moment, I might as well ask some questions that have been on my mind. Firstly, would there be interest in the creation of some kind of lift for the tree? I admit I'm personally motivated thanks to this snoring mass of muscle here, as I wouldn't want to constantly rely on others to help me with him. But I'm also seeing its use in transferring supplies from floor to floor, as well as transport for those less interested in using the gems for flight. [Thinking of you, Fenris.] My personal experience in such matters is somewhat lacking, but Fuu had some ideas and I’m willing to contribute however I can to making this happen. Suggestions would be welcome, of course.

Next question; while I haven't minded camping outside, it's starting to lose its charm. [That’s what comes of doing so constantly for about a year.] Is there any available space for us? The closer to the ground the house is located, the more ideal. Garahel is well-trained and I would take him out often, so that he's not a nuisance.

I should also mention that I am a healer, should it become necessary. If you are wounded and need assistance, you have but to ask and I’ll provide aid.

[He appreciates the thought.]

I would offer a stay at where I am, but it is not my call, and there are only men present.

[Might be uncomfortable for some ladies, after all. Isabela would be thrilled.]

[circleprodigy]

[Garahel stirs at the sound of Fenris' voice, wagging his tail a little. Ivaera chuckles softly as she scratches behind the mabari's ears with her free hand.]

The latter part would bother me not at all. I've learned to take what I can in terms of lodging and such. I couldn't exactly afford to be picky during the Blight, or afterward. After sharing space with an Antivan Crow, a Qunari and a constantly-drunk dwarf, I can manage anything. I understand if your housemates would not prefer it, though.

[formerslave]

That is... quite a mix.

[That's even more diverse than his own little gang used to be.]

I will ask, though I am fairly new to the house as well.

[circleprodigy]

Thank you, Fenris.

[She smiles, truly grateful whatever the outcome. Garahel would be thrilled, without a doubt.]

Should this lift take shape soon, the proximity to the ground won't matter. I'll try to speed it along, regardless.

[formerslave]

It would be helpful to a lot of us.

[Not just his own hangups.]

[circleprodigy]

[She nods, having easily come up with a few non-dog/Fenris-related reasons for wanting such a device.]

Whether they want it for daily use or as a back-up, at least it would be an option. We still need plenty of supplies for it, but I won't wait for the re-opening of the store. The sooner this is done, the better. Of course, if that changes any time soon, I'm willing to cooperate to gain whatever we can from it.

[Remaining idle is not one of her strengths, so she might have started on a plant-fiber rope already.]

[formerslave]

There would have to be some kind of pulley and plenty of rope...

[He looks thoughtful, a bit uncertain where to attach things without knocking holes in the tree. Fenris wasn't exactly a carpenter.]

I'll do what I can to assist.

[circleprodigy]

[She smiles at that, then tries to shift her weight so that her legs don't fall asleep under the twitching mabari. He dozed off again, now pleasantly in dreamland.]

I'm glad to hear it, as I'm certain we'll need all the aid we can get with this project. Fuu was talking about the pulley as well, perhaps creating it out of some of the snake bone left over. If it's sturdy enough, that would be one less thing to worry about.

[formerslave]

That would make sense, I suppose. It would have to be attached, however, and I'm not sure how the tree would 'enjoy' that.

[circleprodigy]

Hm, that's a fair point and one I hadn't considered. Whatever we do, we'd have to be careful not to disrupt the tree more than can be helped. Hopefully it won't mind allowing us some convenience.

[formerslave]

Hopefully.

[He kind of doubted it, but hey.]
