Chapter Twenty-Five [Accidental Video; Forward dated to noon 5/12]

[outsidehistory]

[Lavi's device falls off of whatever it was set on and clatters to the ground on its side, turning on. He's outside in the sun, shirtless, and working on cutting wood.

In the background there are pieces of what looks like will be tables and chairs at some point. But for now they're rough pieces.

Lavi takes a break after cutting a dozen more logs in quarters, looking for the device.]

I need a bag for you or something.

[He picks it up and dusts the wood shavings off.]

Anyone want to work on building some arm muscles? The planks I've got for the table and chairs are a bit uneven. I have a hand sander and a jack plane if anyone wants to help.

Rin, do you want any of this wood for your cooking? I can cut it finer but I was thinking of maybe having a bonfire after the solstice in June.

Our resident queen brought it up as something we might do.

Elizabeth?

She seems to have a lot to share.

[outsidehistory]

She's a kind woman, she cares immensely for her people at home.

[counterintel]

I got that impression. She'll be an asset to the community.

[outsidehistory]

I certainly hope so.

[counterintel]

Mn.

You know her? I mean, from home?

[outsidehistory]

Her majesty's reign was a few centuries before my time, I've studied her in history books.

[counterintel]

To meet someone from so long ago must be strange.

[outsidehistory]

More than a little bit but that's alright.

[counterintel]

It has to be in a place like this.
