"Are you going to need specialized tools?"

"My body can replace most tools that are not specific to nano-assembly, how good a plane I'll be able to produce will depend on how able Ellayania is able to duplicate things I couldn't assemble myself."

"Like what?"

"Like more solar fabric, a better motor than I could make out of ore I mined myself those are the big ones. I could also use some composite materials for the body and wings instead of trying to find aluminium or settling for canvas."

"How big is the plane going to be?"

"Big enough for me and my backpack. Not much bigger than that though, large wingspan say ten and a half meters."

"That... should be doable."

"Wonderful, I think I have examples of all the components I'd want with me for Ellayania to look at and I can explain how she might use each of them to aid her people should she choose to."

"We'd appreciate it."

"Alright, I've been writing up the specs of the plane in a side-channel of my mind. Let me just transfer the data to one of the tablets so that Ellayania can read it, along with the user's manuals for the parts I'm thinking of. And there." He takes a tablet out of his bag. Then he takes what looks a bit like a black tarp a small cylinder [looks like a battery] and something that looks like a thicker part of the same sort of metal skeleton zabna showed was inside his hand. "I'm going to need the last one back if at all possible. It's one of the motors I use for moving at my top speed."

"Do they need to be scaled up?"

"A couple of them need to be scaled up or down. I think I left detailed enough instructions for all of it on the tablet."

"She'll get to work on it."

"Alright, you can let me know if she has any questions."

"It'll be a few days before everything's ready."

"Alright, I very much appreciate you help. So, another question: how do people live in Ellayania's domain? How does that compare to those living in the domains of other Gods?"

"Gods vary in how much they get involved with their mortals. Most let whatever political structures people have stand. There's not really anything like that here, so Ellayania and I sort of mediate between communities."

"Alright, that wasn't quite what I was asking. Are they farmers? Do they have cities? How do their governments work when they have them? That sort of thing."

"Mostly small-town sorts of things here. Farmers, hunters, that sort of thing. This region of the world isn't heavily populated. There's one bigger city on the coast, that's where most of the imports come in. In more, uh, congenial places there tend to be more people and cities. Monarchies are fairly popular."

"Alright, that makes sense from what you've said of the technological level. Do gods tend to oppose technological progress?"

"Not as a rule, but they will if a specific thing offends them. Decay gods and refrigeration, for instance."

"That's a thing? There are gods of decay? Is that as unfriendly as it sounds?"

"Yeah, pretty much. Not all gods are nice; some get mortals to worship them through intimidation. That sort of thing used to be much more common, but there was a paradigm shift a few hundred years back and it's fallen out of fashion."

"It feels really uncouth to ask this but, can gods die?"

"It's not easy, but yes."
