[This is pretty close to how I imagine Above's writing is like. Messy, thick-marker stuff, but legible. Though she can fit more letters per line.]

[There's a blot on the paper. She wants to thank the people who watched her glass cocoon, but... Anyway.]

So anyone heard of a nothlit before? ~~And~~

[... wat.]

My dignity is long forfeit; yet perhaps for the sake of comfort?

[With a few deft strokes, a new picture appears below Above's:. Imagine that it's a ~~lot~~ bit more defined, though...]

That would be interesting. Think you can improvise something like that?

You're probably heavier than Krile anyway.

I shall require some materials: wood, rope and cloth. But it's an essentially simple design.

Kind of like a stretcher, maybe, so it doesn't twist.

As long as it doesn't choke me. Or pinch off the blood to my feet.

That should not be a problem if the harness is adjusted and the rider's weight properly distributed. We will need to find material that is comfortable against your ski; I'm not sure how thick it is.

Just line it with fleece or something. I've done fine so far with ropes. It probably helps that it's only been short flights so far.

Short flights are best, really.

That is understandable: If I may be so bold as to say, riding you doesn't seem entirely natural.

I would hope not. I'm not a beast of burden - I don't even belong in your time.

Though I certainly agree with the first part of your statement, I confess that the second confounds me.

I'm part of an extinct species. Quetzalcoatlus is one of the last azhdarchids, and the azhdarchids are the last pterosaurs, but we're still all dead long before the first humans.

[There's a long pause. He is so confused. So there's really only one answer.]

Is there perhaps a book on this subject to be found? I am loathe to trouble you with too many questions.

Oh, tons. See if the bookstore has anything on pterosaurs. [Which hopefully the geas leaves alone this time.] Maybe start with fossils.

Anyway, you'll need what, measurements?

I shall be sure to report my findings.

Indeed; and also materials, which may be found in the Farm, and a little of your time. Should the results be satisfactory, they will I hope continue to be of use to you.

I'll fly there, then. I know Sven and Kurayami bought my time a while back.
