[Sigrid turns on the feed and immediately continues working, having a number of different maps and books open and sketching at something furiously.]

I need help.

I've got a very official presentation I have to make to the Council in Treun in just six days and I need someone who can make this.

[She picks up the paper she's been drawing on to show...]





[She sets it down again and looks into the locket with frantic and pleading eyes, like a wild thing whose sole source of energy has long since been caffeine mixed with adrenaline.]

I didn't know, I thought just telling them we'd give them the road would be enough, but they want sketches now. They want schematics and contracts for builders and probably budgets. We don't even have roads where I come from!

Does anybody know anything about building roads? Especially through mountains?

[Her sentence gives slightly out at the end. She groans and buries her face in her folded arms as if giving the quest up as completely mad and hopeless.]

Ooh! I second earthbending for building that baby. You know, less explosions, a guarantee someone can walk from one end to the other, that kinda stuff.

It sounds like magic, but who does it?

[bolincredible]

Oh, uh. Well, I do it. And I've got a couple of friends here who do? It's not exactly magic, though. Oh, wait, it is for one of us. But not me, I was born with it. Just kind of a thing back where I come from.

[Everything is falling into place yes yes good she will have a good rest tonight after all.]

Give me a list of names and I'll draw up your contracts. Can you give me a guess how long it could take to build a road through the mountains? Here, I've got...let me write it.

[She writes down miles, altitudes, every detail she can for Bolin to read.]

I need you to tell me about how long, and also give me an acceptable fee for your payment, for you and the others. You can get it back to me tomorrow. I'll be sending birds with your contracts as soon as they're written up. Sign them and return them directly to me--the birds will understand who to give them to.

I'm Bolin. Nice to meet you, by the way, happy to help. The other two are John Grimm and Korra, but I guess I can't make promises about if they'll be able to help out or not. Could have a thing going on, I dunno. Uhhh. I'll have to get back to you about fees and time and stuff, yeah. We can probably get that all worked out by tomorrow! [ He is going to take all that technical info and the fee-figuring and immediately give it to Mako to work out for him. Mako's the money guy.

Also, these birds sound really great and he wishes the ones that were flocking all over the place earlier this month had stuck around. ] So am I allowed to feed the birds?

And I'm Sigrid, sorry. I should've said.

[She listens and takes notes as he speaks.]

Oh, yes. Of course, yes, that is very appropriate. They work very hard even when they don't have much reason to care about the doings of us humans. So by all means, feed them as much as they'll eat!

[She scans the notes she's been taking to make sure she's got everything.]

Bolin, John Grimm, and Korra--I think you've just saved me.

[bolincredible]

Oh, great! I'll get some stuff together for them. [ Spoiled rotten. If he can help it, anyway. ] And don't even worry about it, Sigrid, I think we're pretty big on saving people. It'll be nice to put my earthbending to some good use!
