"Yeah. So, any ideas what you want to do while Ellayania is producing the materials?"

"I could take a tour of her domain if that's alright. Technically speaking that's one of my responsibilities, to meet a wide cross section of the society of a world."

"Sure. I can show you around."

Lots of little farming communities, some isolated hunters who prefer to be left alone, some towns that fish and make propitiations to Varkalosix, the nearby ocean goddess. One real city with a bustling harbor.

That's enough to occupy a few days probably.

And then when they finish up there's a dry field with the materials he requested.

He'll busy himself assembling them into a working plane. It'll take him most of a day. Then he'll be ready to go. "Any recommendations on where I should visit first?"

Pascale hands him a map of the continent with god domains marked on it. "Tisvetaia's nice, and not too far from here. She does preservation; you'll probably find that interesting."

"That does sound interesting." He busies himself with one last preflight check and smiles. "Thanks so much for your help. I'm sure we'll meet again some day."

"We'll look forward to it."
