Map 101

Sota didn't think that she'd forgotten anything at all, and even if she had he was happy to make do with whatever materials they had. Making maps wasn't an exact science or anything, anyway. Now that he was sure they had enough to proceed though he was happy to get right into it. Clove admitted she'd gone to her friend's pack, Tojo-Kai, and he nodded in acknowledgment. Yes, he knew of them though he'd never gone to visit them himself.

"Ah, what a good idea. Let's think for a second..." There was a lot in between the two sides of the continent, from woods to hills and fields and everything between. "Since we don't have a good way to measure distance, you'll have to be a little creative in how you lay things out. If you're really wanting to be accurate, you might need to make a few iterations of your map to really get it right. I'd start by sketching what you remember. I'd start with the castle at the top, the bamboo closer to the bottom, and add in any landmarks you remember in between!"

Tail wagging behind him, he reclined a bit and motioned for her begin if she wanted to. "It might be hard to draw landmarks neatly, but I'd consider this first try as a sketch if I were you. If you want some help with the final map, I could ask my lemur friend Kaito to help you. His thumbs help quite a bit with that sort of thing." Even if she didn't accept his offer, he wouldn't be bothered. "I'd even be happy to make the journey with you, if you're wanting your map to be more accurate. Make a little project out of it," he suggested, though at the risk of sounding overly excited he quickly added, "Of course, only if you want. If not, I'm sure the map you'll draw will be just as good!"
