[FIRST: You get a very close shot of Lashan's eye as she squints at her shellphone. We have here that double-doozy of a medieval and an old person and while she's pretty sharp, these devices are not intuitive to her.]

'S it working? The bead's glowing.

[aka 'the light's on'. The video pulls back a bit but like, it's still pretty close and the angle is unflattering. This whole thing feels completely unnatural to her and the lines between her brows are deepened in a frown.]

I'm Sister Lashan. I'm a lay sister, not a nun. I've made some charms for waterproofing. They're not well-tested though. If you help me with that I'll give you one. Want to know their tolerances and if I have to tweak anything before I start selling them. I'm on Elrut.

[yeah this has made her feel ridiculous and stilted. She prods at the phone with a finger.]

...How do I- [she found out how to end message! this was Not guaranteed.]

[historiology]

Oh. Alright. That's fine! Ah, I guess I didn't think of that. But I'm just at Eltrut. Does that work for you? Is that where you are?

[Sorey is a country bumpkin. Does not even think to question the price. Or to negotiate or haggle. He just assumes she knows more than him about the work that does go into these charms or the like so he trusts her to have a better idea on the effort that goes into it, how much it would cost.]

[hasapoint]

Yeah, I'm there too. [if they have to be dependent on giant animals at least this one isn't flying and you don't have to be inside of it.

The price is not ruinous, but it's not nothing either. Lashan wonders if she should have said a higher number. It's fine, she doesn't think she's about to starve.]

It works. I assume you're operating off of a ship? If water's a risk. I've heard that if this beast dives things are fine.

[dubious]

[historiology]

Ah, yeah! We have a base and are on land sometimes, but, you know, when we're traveling in between places. I'm with Cid and his friends. I just figure I'd rather be safe than sorry.

[In keeping his things safe. The important things at least. Hence the asking about getting a chest protected, just in case.]

[hasapoint]

I've talked to him a bit. Big on mechanisms, huh?

So we could meet somewhere near the docks. [she is afraid of the ocean but not to the point of being unable to handle the sight of it.] I'd need a surface to put this chest on and a little time.

[historiology]

Yeah, that's him. His daughter too.

[Mid was also quite a character. Both he was fond of.]

That works. I can meet you there at the docks with the chest. Let me know when to meet you and I can bring it out.

[hasapoint]

All right. You'll know me, I'm tall.

[do you want to set a scene?]
