IC (Matan and Natan): Pleased with their work, the two Skakdi asked the toa the location of Turaga Matau's hut, and proceeded to seek and audience with the village's leader. If Mata Nui was to become their permanent home, and they were to have any hope of fitting in, it was the Turaga they needed to speak to. Approaching the Turaga, the two Skakdi inclined their heads to the elder, and Matan spoke for the pair."Greetings, Turaga. My brother Natan and I have but recently landed on this island, but already we can see the greatness of your realm. All around us, beings of all races prosper under your guidance." In the Skakdi's experience, it pays to keep your leader happy, and buttering them up gets you what you want. "Seeing this, we wish to raise a home for ourselves in your village. By the standards of our race, we are neither troublemakers nor anti-social. Also, we bring to your community skills of great worth, even as these toa here can attest, for we both are crafters and weaponsmiths of some skill. See, we have restored their armor this morning, and would be glad to trade our services to others of the village." Here he gestured to the Toa Hyfeik, who had accompanied them since their meeting the previous evening. Matan tried to be as eloquent as possible while making his case. He needed the Turaga to see them as an asset to the village, not a liability to the fragile peace. "Therefore, please grant us this request. We seek your leave to build ourselves lodging here in Le-koro, as well as a workshop where we may ply our trade. In return, we offer you our loyalty as warlord and will submit to your rule while under the shade of your forest. What say you?" What the Skakdi had said was true. Le-koro seemed a nice enough place, and it would be good to have the security of a place to live and work in, at least for now. There was still a lot the pair wanted to see and do of this strange island - they did not intend to stay permanently in the village of air, but it was as good a place to start as any, and it seemed prudent to have a recourse should their future activities require it.I.C.KranukaKranuka accepted the widgets, gave invisible the dagger, and carved out a small receipt. "Here you go. If the dagger breaks within a year, you get a widget-back guarentee."
