I've been volunteering with an orphanage since Libertas was attacked, and I know that the kids there would absolutely love something like this. They've put on some smaller plays and are eager for anyone visiting to take part in them, so count me in.

Oh, and beyond that. I know a few merchants I think I could talk into providing us with either funds, supplies, or both, which I'm happy to do whenever you'd like.

Does it count if I've seen them but not made any? Consider me an eager student along with all the kids if you have the know how! Though I suppose I should ask what all we might be creating, just in case.

Construction absolutely sounds like the way to go since we should do this up as best we can. I'm pretty sure my merchant friends will be on board for contributing but if there's anything else we need, I'm happy to put in for it myself.

Flying ships as in the ships that go in water but now have wings or something like it, or flying ships like the ones you used to see all the stars back home?

[ These are his two associations for flying ships! ]

Well, let's see here. I think the real question when it comes to a timeline is when do you want to put this on? If I might make a a suggestion there it's that a bit more time would let us gather up more supplies and make sure we get everything the kids want, but on the other hand... a shortened one might inspire a bit more generosity from those donating. No reason we can't make something up which accomplishes both, though!

Perfect, then I can assist with some of the ships I know of and those plus the ones you know are a good start. If we can get others to create ships of any kind they know too then we might end up with for a whole variety for the kids!

[ He might also be prone to getting a little carried away in plans! ]

A month sounds perfect. That'll give us plenty of time to get an idea of what's needed and what the kids want to have, and I can start asking the merchants I know with that in mind. You'll have what you need in no time, I'm sure!

Excellent, then with that much going on we'll have a chance for the kids that's going to be a hull of a time.

[ He sees it and he'll raise it with another! ]

I'm just excited to see where this goes, truly. If you need anything else for it, anything at all, don't hesitate to let me know.
