Sir─do you happen to have a moment? If you do, could you lend me a hand?
A new child is about to join our family and I would like to make a blanket with which to keep him warm. I, however, cannot stray too far from here, for I must keep a watch over his mother.
Might I ask that you procure the raw materials with which I can make this blanket? To the northeast of here are a herd of mammoths. Please hunt down three and bring me back their hides.
I would also ask that you collect some dried leaves. I will use them to make a tanning mixture. These can be found in the northern reaches, at the base of the shrubs that grow there.
As soon as you get them, please hurry back. I am certain the baby will be arriving soon and I hope to welcome him into the world with a blanket.
