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.

No. Once he left, the song stopped... but that stream that loops in from the mist appeared at the same time.

[circleprodigy]

He didn't create it, right? Or didn't appear to anyway...but it can't be a coincidence.

[monster_san]

That's right. I didn't see him digging, for instance. But for the stream's appearance to coincide with his visit seems definitely to be significant.

On the other hand, the water seems to have no ill-effects, which is lucky given how eerie he was.

[If she had a frame of reference for the Nokken folktale, she could say more about it. But her knowledge of Scandanavian folklore is tragically limited.]

I certainly would have expected some side-effects from that, but it's a relief there seem to be none. And it's interesting that we have a passage through the mist; if not for ourselves, then any item placed within. There has to be some use we can make of that.

[monster_san]

Yes, and we have discovered that it does take things through the mist, even if it doesn't take us. Perhaps we ought to try sending a message--ah, but if everyone outside is normal-sized, they wouldn't be able to open a fairy bottle.

[circleprodigy]

True...we would have need of a larger container. Perhaps another project to add to the list? If there are supplies at hand that aren't being used for more urgent matters, it's worth keeping in mind.
