I want to do that if that city will feed me and help arrange my study and not bother me very much otherwise.

I think that should be possible to arrange! If you'd like more details, our southern hemisphere representatives here today are - And she introduces them.

Hello, southern hemisphere representatives. She wants to stare at Amentans in one of your cities.

Every single one of the representatives names a suggested city!

I have no way to distinguish between those! I can only be in one place.

Tail-thump.

...Show me the prettiest garden or the best natural area. Or both. I will choose the one that pleases me best unless wise Seeker advises otherwise.

Everybody looks up pictures on their pocket everythings and holds them up.

She picks one and looks at Seeker. Seeker nods in assent. There. Annoying decision out of the way.

She will want enough open space to take off from and to visit the garden and probably other things. She makes no promises but the chosen country will surely be first to see the fruit of her learning, if it fruits.

Open space can be arranged!

Seeker- Flying south would probably take a while. And I don't want to leave my Trove with you.

Yes, I will carry you there in the ship. Perhaps tomorrow. They must prepare a worthy place for you.

He speaks to the chosen southern country representative about scheduling the trip and what kind of place Bloom would like. (A big warehouse or something would probably be fine, if it's near enough the nice garden). Once they have a place set up, she can go there.

Bloom will wish to stay during and after the Draak political meeting, the Grand Moot. We have not yet decided what shape our relations with Amenta will take, but Bloom and three Elders consider the risk of some misunderstanding and incident acceptable. However, I want to discuss expectations if any incidents occur.

She knows not to kill or steal or spread pollution, but there are many smaller laws, what seems to us like far too many to keep track of, and she would become very annoyed to frequently run afoul of them. A liason who is prepared to minimize such difficulty, by suggesting alternate things to do or by gaining special permission or by other means, would perhaps be a good idea.

We can get her a chaperone for that, yes, says the representative.

Good. I think she will have fun and be productive.

He turns to Amseli. 

We have begun a ship construction program of sorts, but the Wing of Change remains the only starship, for now.

Of sorts?

I told many others that ships will be valuable soon and taught some of them how to build frames and some FTL design considerations. There will be more vessels with star-bridges sooner or later, even if the Grand Moot does not decide to encourage construction even more.

Do they also know how to find us?

No. Nor do they know exactly how to build star-bridges yet. That secret waits until after the Grand Moot.

I see. Thank you.

Would you like to meet River?

We'd love to!

Hello!! River shouts, after ceasing to annoy a crab, I am River, always seeking to touch new things! I have practiced this song much and it would be Disappointing if it were difficult to understand!

I think I'm understanding you all right! Welcome to Amenta, says Amseli.

I feel welcomed! Good! Seeker says that you are like those that drove us from Old Home. That's his concern. He's old and grumpy. I don't remember that place! Never been there. You're exciting, not scary.

You're exciting for us, too!

 You're exciting because there's a whole new world to see. Like that crab! And the boats! Why are we exciting?

You're new to us, and we're all very excited that you might bring us a way to see even more worlds!

The black ocean is wide. I can't help with that even if my creator is the one who bridged it. I'm here because I'm excitable and he doesn't think I'll kill anyone!
