[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.]

Way my thinking is, you need the formal talks before you have the formal plans. [ Though he supposes they'd want a rough draft. ]

Papers aren't plans, they're proof we know what we're doing and are being serious about this. It's our proposal.

Looks like Bolin's volunteered my services anyway.

[Sigrid nods.] I'm sending you your contracts tonight. You should have them in a couple of days, and you must send them back to me straight away after you've signed them.

I'm on a ship.

[ So, uh. Just so she's aware. ]

[...She manages not to bitch at him for his lack of consideration. After all, he couldn't have known he would be asked to sign a contract before going out to sea.]

Then I'll sign yours with an X. Lots of people do that when they can't write anyway.

If they ask, you can tell them I also gave verbal permission and have experience working with the blood granite at Redgate.

It might help if I knew anything about how that might be helpful.

Blood granite nullifies most abilities, especially magical ones.

That doesn't make any sense. Does it make it hard to move or something?

Very difficult. It's also very rare -- a status symbol.

And you could still work properly?

We could. Bolin was there as well.

And you're going to build my road.

[She's smiling now, starting to feel a giddy rush that comes of seeing everything fall into place.]

That's wonderful. Thank you.

You're welcome. Let me know how it goes?

Of course.
