Afternoon, Mr. Frost. My name is Cheym; I work with some of the kedan outside the city on agriculture. I hear you have a talent for winter weather.

[ blink. ]

Yeah, that's... pretty much my thing.

Are you able to dispel it as much as summon it? I only ask because we've spent a long time in cool and cold climates and it makes it hard to grow everything we'd like. For the moment, it looks like Tu Vishan is heading to warmer regions, but it would be enormously valuable to hold off cold snaps in the future, even just for a little while.

[Long enough to get covers over certain crops, and to harvest others, for example.]

We could make a more formal arrangement, if it's within your abilities. I wouldn't want to stretch you thin.

I can't say I've ever tried that, Mother Nature would have been really upset if I'd tried.

I know I can help move cold from one area to another, would that help?

That could be extraordinarily helpful, yes. Even a small nudge away from the fields and greenhouses would make a big difference, if the temperature dips again.

[Beat.]

Is nature a... person where you come from?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Then I can come by and give it a practice run?

[ equal beat. ]

Uhh, how to explain this. She's... kind of like the spirit who represents all of nature, the way I represent winter at home.

[Cheym nods after a moment or two.]

I think I understand. Interesting. [He sounds genuinely intrigued.]

Whenever it's convenient for you to visit the greenhouses or the fields, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Yeah, no problem. See you later?

[ He still sounds pretty confused by the whole thing. ]

I look forward to it.

[And with another smile, he signs off.]
