[See, that caution is what he wanted to avoid, it's why he made sure to say it wasn't urgent.]
I've been talking to Haurchefant and we were wondering if you might be able to build a kind of collapsible sled, it's just Zell said you've made a few amazing things and there aren't many people here with building experience.
[ Jim lapses off into thoughtful silence, already casting around for his sketchbook. Later he'll think to be flattered that Zell said so and Al had faith in him, but right now there's a puzzle to solve. ]
You're wanting something to fold up - maybe carry it around on your back when you're not riding it?
That's actually not a bad idea either, but no. What we were thinking it was something bigger, able to hold supplies and injured people, but can collapse down to be stored inside any of the houses for safety. The idea was to have several of them stored around town for people to use in case of emergency.
Whoa. [ Jim quickly flips a page to start over again, this time with something a little different in mind. ] That would've been ppretty useful a few weeks ago.
Let me work on this and I'll call you back when I've got something, alright?

day 135 @LELRIC audio
[Like... he wouldn't recognise the voice or something.]
It's not urgent so don't worry, but when you stop for the night and have a moment do you think we could talk?
night 135, audio, @jphawkins
Hey, Al.
[ There's some caution in Jim's voice, though he's making an effort not to sound too concerned. ]
What's up?

[Seems like Jim was absolutely the right person to come to. He'll call Haurchefant back when he knows Jim actually has something.]
I'll talk to you then. Thanks, Jim.

Stay safe out there.
