Taking his arm, Sakari positively beams at him, overjoyed at this response. "Really? That's fantastic, Issarok! There's so much being done with engineering right now in the South and Fire Lord Iroh is making incredible improvements in the Fire Nation. My father has sent several plans to King Bumi, too. They should have running water by the time the year is out."

Of course, the North doesn't have running water yet. But if there are engineering classes, Sakari is sure they're right on the verge of it.

The subject change is a little abrupt, but Sakari bows her head a little, flexible enough. "If you like, I'll come with you."
