[As Remus appears on the locket, he looks a little frumpy and disheveled, but that's rather par for the course, really. He smiles warmly as he opens his mouth to make his address. An address that, it would seem, is coming from the middle of the Caer Glaem library, in the middle of what seems like a good day's worth of research. Research, as the case may be, on the Dwarves of Cothromach and their culture itself. Also, on native defensive magic. Specifically on the subject of defending a structure, spells, charms, rituals to be had during or after the construction of a building. Hell, he's even looking into native hearth magic at this point. Remus is leaving no rock unturned, as far as he can help it.]

Hallo! I apologize for being another to make yet another address like this, but it must be done, and perhaps this one might catch your attention, at the very least?

I recognize that most of you who are planning to take part in this battle are busy training for such an endeavor, and if you are, then I will leave you to it. [There's no way Remus himself is lifting a finger to fight against anyone. Not when there are people he knows - people he loves even - who would be considered the enemy in this fight.] For those of you who are looking for something else to be doing with your time, however, I might have an offer for you.

I need some helping hands. Not for supplies, but for a much grander project. [Perhaps you've seen the beginnings of the White Citadel already? Thanks for that reveal, Hiccup.] Talent in construction is more than welcome, but we'd really just love some able bodies on the job. Away from the fighting, but doing something I'm sure we will all agree is equally as worthwhile with our time. [There's no questioning the fact that he is or at least once was a professor as he continues to clasp his hands together in front of him and asks:] So do I have any volunteers?

Oh! [Another thought comes to him.] Another question, for anyone who's had business in Cothromach. I'd be interested if you could speak to me about the dwarves? I've heard that they're quite handy with such things.

I meant that I'd train the others to fight like I've already been doing but also assist you. The most training I could do involving this is how to— properly control the large group of people working on it and keeping them on task.

[ She raises her own eyebrow at Remus making the conversation private, but she doesn't comment on it. ] I'm just used to multitasking— so focusing only on one thing has been a bit of a problem. [ She pauses and just stares at Remus before smiling ever so slightly. ] I have a pegasus, While I have no doubt the fairy ring might be a bit faster, I'm not exactly struggling to move around.
