A couple of things:

I've been thinking since the monster attack... and since there was apparently danger in the desert as well. I think we should make a shelter for people who can't defend themselves, instead of just running. That way, they already know of a place that could be safe for them. It seems like danger is becoming more of a problem... and I'd rather prevent injuries or worse.

If there's anyone who needs care after being out in the desert, let me know. I should be able to help.

Your abilities are that powerful? [She remembers Leanne saying that her healing magic is drawn from the earth. Ethlyn didn't expect it to mean she could do other things with the earth too.] If you're capable of that much, maybe we don't even need to worry about the dragon.

It's how my people have stayed alive so long. For their underground hiding places they return to it and reinforce it with magic every week or so... depending on how much energy they've put into it, it can withstand most things. I've never tried to fend off a dragon with it, though.

But if I disappear like some have here, I'm not sure how long it'll work.

Maybe we could start with magic and then shore it up with more ordinary methods once it's built. It is best to be prepared... although I hope you don't go anywhere.

[she smiles on her end of the line, a little sadly. because she knows that she needs to go home, that her son is waiting on her -- but she's getting attached to some of the people here, too.]

i'm not planning on it, at least.

[though do any of the people who leave here actually plan on it...? that's something to ponder later, maybe.]

we can do that. anything to keep it together will only help. if everything stays relatively quiet, i might go explore the caves in a few days.

That sounds like a good idea. Would you like company? I think it would be a good idea to have someone there to watch your back, just in case there's anything living there we haven't accounted for.

i'd like that.

[even though she thinks she can handle herself, she likes Ethlyn... and she knows she can be cocky during things like this, so. better to be safe than sorry, as she had said.]

just let me know when you're available to go in there.
