Oh?

[Dude, laughing at his misery is not cool B( He keeps a good grip, wondering how ridiculous he'll look if he adds a cowboy hat to his current ensemble of... civilian clothes.]

[survival_isnt_living]

[But it is pretty funny. It'll be even funnier with the cowboy hat.]

Well, the hospital isn't going to plan itself.

[He breaks into a trot to keep up with them.]

[Kyle is now wearing a cowboy hat because reasons.]

How big d'you want that thing anyway, if it hasn't been built yet?

[survival_isnt_living]

[The cowboy hat earns a snicker. He's never seen anything like that before.

Septimus tilts his head, measuring.]

How long does building such things take in your world?

[imaginate]

A couple of months? But here you've got people who could raise buildings in a matter of seconds.

[He smiles faintly and raises a hand, to start ticking off points.]

One: We began truly concrete discussions two and a half months ago, more or less. Approximately a month later I met with Eshai on the subject. [A shadow passes over his face briefly. Riva takes a moment to headbutt him in comfort; luckily Septimus figures it out soon enough to grab a rock and pull on enough earthcrafting to not get knocked over.] That was how we secured the location.

Two: Architecture can take time to determine, especially if it isn't to a base standard design. This one certainly is not, by the standards of any of our worlds, I think.

Three: Raising a building requires materials to raise it with. Stone doesn't go as deep here, and other materials for building are a little hard to come by. Our stop at land helped with that, but that was a good two weeks later.

[He's on a roll here, clearly, and partially thinking out loud. There is a reason he's been working on this so hard--and so enthusiastically.]
