( the second time that nuala addresses the ship as a whole, she is slightly more prepared - and she has a purpose to it beyond the greetings that, she will continue to hold, were in and of themselves a perfectly respectable goal.

cross-legged in the gardens, her sewing basket at her side, her hands neatly folded-- )

I have a request of those who man the smithy, and a boon to offer in return for seeing it done.

Thank you.

[ she was already strolling out here when the notif for nuala's post came over the network. and instead of replying straight-away, she takes her time and looks for her.

when she eventually succeeds, she directs a pleased smile at the other woman. ]

I greet you well, Nuala. Tell me, can I aid you in some way to find what you seek?

( turning her device aside, nuala beams gladly up at elizabeth as she's joined and gestures for her to sit - the small campsite, essentially, where she has been living since nuada suggested (firmly) that the gardens would suit her better is nearby, but a few feet away, only kept out of sight of the video feed. )

I think you may better aid me after I find it, dear Elizabeth.

[skjalf]

[ it is nice here. open and bright, and no walls close-by to make her feel trapped. here she is more at ease, and it shows with how brightly she smiles as she takes a seat not far from nuala. ]

Of course. May I ask what it is you are looking to have made?

[bullshead]

Do you want something made?

[favouring]

And in return-- ( so, 'yes' ) --I will make something for whomever can fulfill my request.

[ he screws up his face slightly, as if considering. ]

What is it you want?

[ since elf princess, arya switches to audio. she can feel catelyn stark frowning if arya were to text at her. ]

You cannot ask your brother, my lady?

locked.

[favouring]

I'm certain that I could, little Arya, but he has more to do in his life than dance attendance on my needs. ( a wry smile is almost audible. )

locked.

[wolfchild]

Why not? He is your brother.

[ a tiny bit spoiled? you betcha.

and because she stalks others' conversations like a pro— ]

Do you know how to make thread?

[wolfdreamer]

What do you have need of? If it is some manner of weapon, it might already be found aboard this ship.

But the smiths that work here are very skilled, if it is not. They would do good work for you.

[favouring]

I am well-stocked for weapons, thank you, young one-- but I have need of needles and pins, for my sewing. Mine are quite beyond repair.

video;

[wolfdreamer]

[He brightens a little at that.]

My sister had many needles for stitching and embroidery. If you have need of them, I could find them for you. She would want them to be shared and used, and not to sit idle.

What is it that you are sewing?

[disfavour]

I don't want a boon.

[ What on earth could you want from the smithy, Nuala? Denied. ]

[favouring]

( undaunted: ) You are well-occupied, brother, I didn't think to offer you one.

( she had considered asking his aid, but-- his building project is one she endorses, and wouldn't distract him from with something so minor. )

[disfavour]

[ This is so suspicious. ]

Charmed. What is it that you are after?

voice;

[longestnose]

[He sounds tired.]

If you have something you need made, I shall do so.

voice;

[favouring]

It is a simple thing, one I wouldn't presume to ask of you - needles and pins, that I may make use of the fabrics I have recently been gifted. Nuada offers me Gendry's services, my lord.

I would be glad to offer you the same boon, however.

[ Severus is on his way to see her a bit after she first contacts the network-- he sees the post and considers coming back later, but he doesn't like the gardens as much as most people. The idea of having walked here just to turn around is more annoying than the potential for being caught on the network on video. So he approaches anyway. ]

Princess. [ is his low-voiced greeting. Next to him a flat basket loaded full of white sheets floats along obediently. ]

[favouring]

( nuala disconnects as he joins her, setting the device aside to make room (and make it clear that he's going to have her full attention - she's achieved what she set out to do, other discussion can wait a while). )

Severus-- wonderful.

[ Idly; ]

You don't spin hay into gold or anything like that, do you? Not putting it past you.

voice.

[favouring]

( a bit dubiously: ) It would be simpler to spin gold into gold, but I suppose it isn't impossible.

[northerner]

Have you had someone satisfactory offer you their services, Lady Nuala?

[favouring]

( she beams. ) I have secured Gendry's aid, and that of your young siblings as well.

[kutte]

What's the boon?

[ lol like jax can work the smithy pls ]

[favouring]

Gifts of my handiwork! Gendry asks me for a tunic, and young Bran will have a cloak fit for a tourney champion.
