Hey, if we cut an eluvian in half, will it still work? Because imagine. If we could strap one to a griffon, we could be anywhere, and only one person would have to do the traveling. Or we could strap one to the bottom of a griffon and fly low over a battlefield or a lake and people could jump through without the griffon even needing to land—

[ Or maybe that's just her personal paratrooper fantasy, parachute part PENDING, RESEARCH. ]

I think we could be thinking bigger here. Or smaller. But in a big way.

I'm not shit talking anyone's work. It's about the experience.

[elegiaque]

No, I'm complaining about Stephen. Abby hasn't got to go anywhere high if she doesn't want to.

[laruetheday]

[ wow she can't believe she's about to say this, but: ]

Well, it's his house too.

[elegiaque]

( gwenaëlle also can't believe clarisse just said that to her. there is a momentary silence as she works her way past several kneejerk responses that might provoke some kind of real argument by accident— )

He likes flying.

[laruetheday]

[ that momentary silence is really doing a lot here ]

You... could get another boat and that one can be the one that flies. [ it's not like she doesn't have the moneyyyy ]

[elegiaque]

( it's also his house if he's good.

anyway, a sulky little sigh: )

We'll see how the airship goes. When we have it.

( Bless u, Clarisse!! )

I had that thought too, actually. Like a cabin or someone’s vacation home in the Catskills, except it’s an airship for secondary use. A pied-à-terre. Or… pied-à-ciel?

( He knew just enough of a French loanword to be very pleased with himself. )

[elegiaque]

Pied-à-ciel— ( delights her an unfair amount. damn it, stephen. )

[laruetheday]

You guys could call it the petit nuage.

[elegiaque]

( audibly taken with this, )

It could attach to La Souveraineté when not in use...

[laruetheday]

[ aw yeahhh, boy, we turned it around! ]

Love it.
