Kareet had quite a bit of writing to do this time from Vigdis’ answer. Even just at a glance, there were multiple improvements the Humans were capable of making. Most of it seemed to be centered around the shape and manufacture of the gears themselves to improve efficiency and durability. Even just knowing that the potential improvements were there was valuable, and if they had the time to go through them, that would be even better. There was even apparently a way to improve their river boats, which were quite important to the Ascendancy’s trade. 

Of course, it was not long before there were more interruptions. Shirik, shortly followed by Kerchack, this time. At least no one was trying to pull her away from her interview. She recognized the scent of the fish they brought to them. Soreltails were only regularly found in the rivers and lakes of the Ascendancy. Without hesitation, she ripped off a piece of the fish and swallowed it whole. Humming softly, she gave a curious look up and down the Iriad. “I do find myself curious how a being with no ability to taste learned to cook.”

Kerchack, on the other hand, was actually asking something from her directly. Fortunately, it was nothing particularly disruptive for her. In fact, what he wanted aligned quite nicely with her own goals. “It is funny you should mention that. I have already been speaking with Vigdis about the capabilities of Life magic. Being that they have never encountered magic before, I suppose it is understandable that the Captain is not convinced on your word alone.” 

With just a moment of thought, Kareet turned her attention towards Vigdis. “Perhaps a demonstration of the healing capabilities of Life magic would be helpful? I imagine some of your people suffered physical trauma from the crash. On average, how long does it take your medicine to help someone recover from severe injuries?”
