'I can see that fortune smiled upon the Lumi-väki when you came to Forochel, friend, for you have done much to help us. I would ask for your aid again, but in a matter less dire than some others.

'Perhaps you have seen the Lumi-väki run across the ice? We do this with bones which we strap to our shoes -- we call them luistin. Our people have used these for centuries, travelling at great speed across the frozen land. At times though, one may stumble and fall and lose a luistin. Such a loss is a bitter one, as these luistin are difficult to make.

'If you encounter any luistin in your travels, bring them to me. I will try to reunite them with their owners.'
