[Say hello to Peggy, sitting at a console with what looks like the designs of a Fire Sector suite in the background. For the tech savvy, the console address is traceable to Steve Rogers.]
I hope those displaced from the Earth Sector fire have found a place to stay until the suites can be rebuilt or new homes. Fortunately, it looks as if the damage was contained before it spread too far. I think this situation is exactly the sort of thing a council for us ‘foreigners’ would be good for, and I mean in the sense of checking the damages, injuries, and helping people find temporary lodgings.
[Not necessarily hunting down perpetrators. And she has her suspicions on what might have started it, but that is not going out publicly. So on a different note!]
Though we can all understand the spoken word and each other here, I’ve found that’s not the case with the written. I’ve started making efforts to crack the kedan language, as it were, but there’s very little to help along these lines. Picking up words on signs is one thing, but a grasp of the grammar and structure is another.
Has anyone else been trying to do the same? I’m not sure much more will be possible unless we find the kedan version of a Rosetta Stone, to be honest.

[she’s not worried about it being hacked, but she’s not interested in attempting to publicly ping someone for a one-on-one conversation either.] Favrielle, I’d like to commission you once more. Would you prefer discussion in person?

I'm sorry to hear it. Were those I made for you earlier also--yes, must have been. What has been lost exactly? I can replace the items I had made in little time, and depending on the complexity of the new items, I can have them in short order as well.

I've lost all the local attire I've acquired here - day clothes, nightwear but one, undergarments, etc. I'm looking for more of what you've already done for me, but really, I'm open to other styles at this point as well.

I see. The shirt can be easily replaced, if you'll tell me which color one it was, and as for the rest, I still have your measurements so all we would need to do is discuss the style of the other day clothes, undergarments, and nightwear you require.
[She taps her chin thoughtfully.]
You might consider some outerwear as well.

Outerwear? Like a coat or shawl?

[Though she hasn't worn any herself, of course.]
And yes, coats, shawls, whatever you're comfortable with. I imagine the weather will grow colder as we get into the winter months, unless it's terribly different here..

[But she nods] I've been so preoccupied, that the change of weather has completely slipped my mind. Yes, I think I would be interested in that. A coat, probably.

I'm free today if you'd like to stop by with the sketches, unless you need more time.
