[In a trampled clearing of what was once part of the cornfield there is a marquis and a dragon. They are surrounded by a collection of ropes, carabiner hooks and an improvised harness made of twisted silk--as well as several hastily scrawled drawings in the dirt around them. The marquis drags a stick through the dirt, connecting two of the lines

Yes, that is good enough; and you will probably like to tie loops in it, as well, so that you may more easily climb aboard.

[watchmycannon]

Thank you for the suggestion. I think I will still need assistance, attaching all this to you...

[Begins looping some of the rope around itself, making handholds]

[youhavetwocows]

Surely it must be easy enough to find people to press into that service; it is not so very difficult, it merely needs a few hands.

[watchmycannon]

Well, it can keep until we've finished putting it together, at any rate.

[Tugs on a bit of rope, testing how secure it is]

[archaelologist]

What's this?

[watchmycannon]

--I found cause to pursue some bidding of my own.

[archaelologist]

Well done.

[watchmycannon]

I thought it was rather clever, myself. She is quite unlike any dragon we've at home.

[watchmycannon]

--Ah, Vaan! I expect you've no dragons quite like this either?

[watchmycannon]

[Well, sure, we've got things like this too]

Quite so! It's fantastic, isn't it?

[is clearly so excited]

[get_sometail]

What's all this? Going climbing?

[watchmycannon]

[Points at the dragon]

Climbing and then riding, I do hope.

[get_sometail]

Whoa, you really need all that to ride a dragon?

[watchmycannon]

It would be rather unfortunate if I were to fall off, I think.

[blink blink]

You are taking up crew?

[watchmycannon]

--Ah, another!

[canhascow]

Hello.

[another one! A MUCH BIGGER ONE.]

[watchmycannon]

[...Bows]

And hello to you; I am David Nassau, marquis of Athlum -- a pleasure to meet you, sir dragon.
