** Relaxing on thick furs, a small glass of peach wine in one hand, the other settled around a snoozing Ravyn, the small Woman savors these quiet moments, all too rare in Her life**

**Ravyn had come wandering up earlier to see Her beloved Auntie, and after some warm tea and a lot of chatter, had finally settled in for a snuggle and a nap. Jade eyes study Ravyn's delicate porcalain-doll traits. She can see again, well....mostly...and as always, the One that She sees reflected in Ravyn's face brings a catch deep in Her throat. He may have been many unpleasant things, but Ravyn's father had still been Her brother, and in quiet moments, all reason and logic and knowledge of His character notwithstanding, She misses Him. Seeming to sense somethign in Her sleep, Ravyn stirs just a tiny bit, not much more than a rustle of fabric pon fur, then settles in again, softly smacking Her little cherry-bow lips. The Woman smiles a tiny bit, so glad now to be able to see that fleeting moment**

: **Jade eyes cast round the wagon, filled with Their things, and so many memories. Some are sweet.....the day He had claimed Her...others are less pleasant, yet still part of Her life. Who would have thought that Her happiness would be found in a Wagon Camp with a tall young Drifter? He had wandered in one day and before She know what happened He had taken both Her job and Her heart. Firey head shakes a bit with a soft smile....who'd have ever thunk it, that the li'l firecracker would ever be so docile?**

**Still, after so many seasons, She is ready to live in a proper house again....not to mention those nasty-cold Torvaldian winters that come all too soon and last for so very long. Her gaze turns once more to the wagon's interior, speculating as idle fingers caress Ravyn's glossy ringlets. There's not much lumber in this large wagon; maybe enough to floorboard one or two rooms...but then, They will have to build quickly to get anything up and sealed and roofed before winter hits. So....Her mind whirling now....a simple rectangle floor plan on a 1 by 3 ratio.....cooking and living in the middle, partitions to create a bedroom and storage room...or two bedrooms. Curtains could be hung, of course, to save time.....interior dividing walls can always be added later. Easing ravyn down fully onto the furs, she stands up and looks around, considering carefully**

**Using the wall logs vertically instead of horizontally will let them go up quickly.....Grooves cut lengthwis into the longs where each meets the next may be packed hard with dried moss for insulation between them. A roof...hmmm.....this presents more of a challenge, even to Her agile mind**

: **Her eyes cast up to the wagon staves......nope......too fragile to take the snowload She knows it will have to bear....so....braced rafters then....overlaid with thick planks then waterproofed.....leave the attic-type area unfinsihed...maybe allow for a small loft to be built among the joists. Her thoughts are whirling now....one advantage of living long enough is that eventually, One learns the basics of pretty much everything. On the furs, Ravyn continues to slumber, evidently worn out with her daily misadventures**

** Now She wonders....can the lumber be harvested here on the island, or must it be imported? Quantity is not a problem in any respect due to the forest through the gap in the hills and Her financial resources....neither is quality....t'is simply a matter of time frames and what is allowed. Insulation, furnishings, heat....ohhhh ye Gods there's wood to be gathered before winter, too...She growls softly, a bit embarrassed at having forgotten that simple yet oh-so-crucial detail. heating a cabin will take MUCH more wood than heating a wagon...yet the bosk hides that line this wagon will also work to line log walls and make it easier to heat....more efficient. Then a grin...that's what thralls were for...but ohhhh the cabin is going to need a porch at least 3/4 enclosed...or a woodshed fully enclosed off to one side. Hmmm...that sets Her back for a moment....extra time and lumber......cheap lumber, but an expense nonetheless....plus good windows will need to be imported for the cabin, and a door...maybe from Ven..She knows many merchants there, can get a decent price for quality merchandise....hmmmmm****

**Now She starts seriously estimating the requirements involved: Amounts of logs and lumber, time to either cut and prepare and cure the logs or have them imported...three hands at LEAST....time to lay the sub-floor and base....construct the wall units lying flat.....perhaps a day all told on those......a solid two Hands for the roof...plus another three Hands for reality and delays. She sighs...this project should have been started at spring's first blush...but then, She hadn't known yet if They would be staying for sure. She sighs again, and makes a note to ask Nyah if She can borrow all the island's thralls for about 2-3 days...with all of them working, and under guidance, with a good plan, the shell could be put up in that time, then details finished out at leisure**
