crystal

[undergrunn]

( Behold, a new voice on the crystals. Soft, good-humoured, with an accent that sounds Scandinavian / relative equivalent. The crystal catches a quiet breath of laughter before she speaks. )

I don’t know if you’re really lucky to have an engineer turn up, or if I’m really unlucky that I need to figure out the machinery.

I mean, learning about the infrastructure of a city in a whole different world isn’t even a “once in a lifetime” kind of opportunity, and pretending I’m some sort of genius at kinetic motion just because I know some mechanisms from home would be pretty fun, but…

Wow.

( Maybe that sounds a little weightier than her first "wow.")

Oh, I'm Abella. Riftwatch, you’re gonna have to have a lot more ramps by the time I’m done with you. Somewhere has to accommodate wheelchair users, even if it’s some kind of fairy tale world.

( Hmmm. )

Wait, can you just make them float, here? (More softly, ) Flying wheelchairs would explain the lack of ramps. I mean, this crystal thing is remarkable, so... let me know if I don't need to think about the ramps.

Good things, I hope.

No need to flagellate yourself too much, I'd rather we spend the time working. I'll be certain to steal you whenever we've both got a moment.

Consider me at your disposal. Honestly, I agree about spending time working. There's too much at home to worry about if I let myself be idle.

Catch you in the dining hall later today? I'll show you the plans I've got thus far.

[undergrunn]

Of course. Are there schematics of the existing architecture? I think a thorough examination of the foundations and underlying structures would be beneficial, if I can get permission to undertake it. I imagine one will have already been conducted, but I'd like to check for further stress damage after the initial incident.

[thereneverwas]

If there are, they'll be in the library. We can look for them.

[grindset]

I made copies. You can find them in the research workroom.

Thank you.

You are a hero and a scholar, messere.
