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.

—does that mean you could only send mail at night?

[reparo]

No, you could send mail whenever. But now I wonder if they should've established a better carrier bird system, which didn't rely on nocturnal animals flying in daytime...

[portalling]

Right? That doesn’t seem like it’s particularly fair to the owls.

Strictly speaking, I suspect homing pigeons would actually have the best speed and stamina for this system. Wouldn’t have quite the same goth style points as ravens, though.

[reparo]

Right? Doesn't sound as dramatic to say 'I must send the commander a pigeon'.

[portalling]

“We’ve received the latest word from the other side. This pigeon means war.”

[reparo]

"The pigeonmaster will hear about this."

[ Someone stop them. ]

not here, but also sort of here.
