Mephisto gives a little shake of his head. ]

No, I'm alright. I'm fine with standing. [ A lie. It's extremely uncomfortable, actually. But he also is wary of... well, anyone. The only person he'd immediately felt comfortable around was, weirdly, Moder. And that's just because she's if Patriot were motherly and bigger, which are two big pluses. ] I had some plans sorted out and I heard you were the builder of the Grove. I'm also to understand we can only really ask for one building of our choice. Is that a limitation of magic? Would we be able to build our own when it comes to other structures?

[ Mephisto pulls out the rough map of the Grove he sketched and lays it out for Heimr to see. ]

I understand there's a magical barrier to keep the beasts out there out, but I would like to see if both a storage bunker with nonperishable food for emergencies, and a fence or wall or something might be an extra layer of protection for things like the monsters out there.

Also, I was going to ask, if we're aware of the Forest's aversion to water, what is stopping us from packing up things here and moving to live out on the waters?
