"Yes. We should give you a more permanent translation spell and an encyclopedia."

Permalink

"I would appreciate that, if the magic expenses make it a better tradeoff than continuing to translate like this, or waiting for me to learn Lor language, or getting someone better from my world."

Permalink

"The spell spends overall more, but requires less active attention and works on speech."

Permalink

She shrugs. "I cannot make the tradeoff for you, but if you think it is worthwhile, I would appreciate it."

Permalink

"I do, thank you. We will have it set up shortly."

Permalink

"Thank you! Is there anything similarly useful I might be able to do for you within about the same amount of time?"

Permalink

"I don't know. I am personally tempted by the paper-trees, but I don't know how much work those would be."

Permalink

"It should be fairly straightforward to reconstruct something similar, especially with the soft paper I already have with me to use as an example. Are there tree seeds available that grow into trees whose bark peels in sections already?"

Permalink

"I think we have some seeds for trees whose bark peels, but not in sections?"

Permalink

"I should be able to do something with that. Does it grow reasonably well, or should I look to changing anything other than its bark?"

Permalink

"I don't know much yet. We can make things grow fast though, so getting usable paper should be enough."

Permalink

Nod. "In that case, if I see a simple way to make it grow more quickly or healthily, I will do do, to spare the costs of your magic. Do you want them to propogate themselves, or need to be planted by people?"

Permalink

"Planted by people sounds better for safety's sake. Thank you. You really don't have to."

Permalink

"I will not have it self-propogate, then. I may not need to, but I likely can. And You have been very kind, and I would like to be useful."

Permalink

Sovie smiles. "I am going to search for the seeds, it should be here somewhere."

Permalink

Izakin is back. They've prepared the translation ritual.

Permalink

She writes, "What do I need to do?", then stops, unsure if he can read it without Sovie there.

Permalink

Sovie can't work at a distance, but she is willing to inform her before going seed-searching. All she needs to do is to sit in a circle over there and hold this etched stone.

Permalink

She does so, trying not to seem too confused by the stone.

Permalink

And eventually. "Is it working?" The effect is similar to the written translation, but for speech.

Permalink

"Yes! Thank you!"

Permalink

"You're welcome. What else do you need to get settled for the night? It might be easier to get that right out of the way soon."

Permalink

"I think just a hammock and fabrics? And yes, might as well set that up while we are thinking of it."

Permalink

They go do that. They have hammocks and also beds, but they understand that she isn't used to those.

Permalink

The description of beds makes them seem a bit like better-padded sleeping bags, but she can probably sleep wherever is convenient. Hammocks are usually the easiest to set up on short notice, though.
