He had meant what he had said, he could understand why repairing the Manses defenses was a worthy use of resources, but the forges would allow them to do so much more, and increase the speed of further development. He made a mental note to speak with the soldier in private, and see if he could bring him around. Attempting to do more now, in public, would be a losing proposition.<br/><br/>He listened attentively as the others spoke, nodding to Talitha and then in support of Ramalan, before speaking. "I agree with Captain Ramalan. I'm sure your talents on site would be much more useful than simply waiting here to help with dock work."<br/><br/>He turned to Talitha and continued. "I'd be happy for you to examine them, but not everything is in a state of good repair, unfortunately. We've done our best to keep as much fully operable as we can, but that has meant sometimes taking parts from one to fix another. Still, you're welcome to look through our stores for anything useful."
