"I had access to our FLY prototype, but only through my Gauntlet. It's not nearly as good as the legendary Hidden Machine. Will you teach it to Noivern please?"

"With that done, I'll just let you know at our drop point what I decide about the trades. And you will let me know before you embark to find my brother."

"Sure thing.  Just give me a second."  It's fortunate that Noivern's a dragon, so that should ease the process of teaching the typically unruly species somewhat thanks to Nathan's bloodline.  He has little to fear from most Dragons that aren't wild and untamed, and Kelda seems to be doing a decent job with this exemplar so far.  His approach to Noivern is respectful, firm, but also gentle at the same time.  Dragons are typically proud, but this one's been through harsher conditions than most.  He wants to show Noivern that he understands.

Nathan nods to affirm that plan on keeping each other informed, though he has a little more to say as well.

"Before I head out, could we talk a little about the Scimitar organization?  As I'm planning something that's likely to put me in close contact with the Water Scimitars, if you have anything you could tell me about the things going on behind the scenes, it would be very helpful.  I know you were an Earth Scimitar, but it sounded like Cosh was at least keeping tabs on the Water Scimitars to some degree.  Any insight or information you might have would be helpful.  I'm worried about what the Water Scims might be planning to do with any forgotten or ancient power they've come across...and if you have any questions about what I'm doing, fire away.  I want to keep things honest between us."
