[Megaera slowly unravels the cloak, revealing that the bundle's two items.]

I came up with three arcane items that would be of significant aid to anyone if a survival situation is forced. I was considering doing up some magic weapons and such, but those are more finicky because you still have to know how to use them.

The first is a Travel Cloak. It keeps you warm and dry, it can unfold into a small tent... And it's got two magic pockets. One holds enough food - basic trail rations like nuts and dried berries, nothing special - to power one person for the day, the other's got a flask that'll refill with water or hot sugared tea eight times a day. Not the best tea, though. Still, better than nothing.

Then there's the Bag of Holding. I quickly sewed a couple backpack straps on it, but basically, it's bigger on the inside than out, and the extradimensional magic that handles that also absorbs the weight of up to two hundred and fifty pounds of stuff. That's a bit shy of twice your weight, as a metric. Just don't put anything alive or sharp in it. I don't think I need to explain how being able to carry that much gear at a rather light practical encumberance would help you survive in long expeditions or the worst-case scenario.

[Important question, Meg: what color is the cloak?]

You mean I could put everything I own in there, and it would feel like... nothing?

[And it would fit? Tsungi horns are pretty big okay.]

[twinked_witch]

[It's a plain gray... Like most travel cloaks. You could probably dye it or sew another fabric onto the outside, though!]

Quite a lot, at least, yeah. You'd need to make sure anything with a sharp tip gets covered, though.

[She's not sure about the horns.]

[daughterofursa]

[Well... okay. She can handle some grey in her wardrobe I guess.]

I'd rather keep my swords on hand anyway.

I'll... see about packing some things, and keep it handy.

[twinked_witch]

Yeah. It's about handling the worst-case scenario for now... And if that doesn't come to pass, at least we can use it for deeper skyway work later.

I just wanted to do what I could with the shards, so...

[Zuko nods.]

You're not the only one.

...thank you.

[twinked_witch]

Yeah. I just... If this helps us at all, it'll have been worth it.
