[inclementia]

[He stares at her a little too long trying to guess. He's smart, he can see how long her hair's been done and how worked her hands are, but he is not that wise.]

I would guess close to late evening.

[vexnotvax]

[Fortunately Vex knows how to remain unflappable under that kind of scrutiny, not that she minds it from Percy. She gives him a click of her tongue, teasing just a little.]

I'm afraid you're either too late or much too early with that guess. Try closer to midday.

[inclementia]

Oh. Hm.

[He looks back into his workshop for a moment to something unseen by her and then back.]

So is something wrong, then?

[vexnotvax]

Nothing's wrong. I just thought I might stop by to ask a favor. And because the fact that you haven't greviously injured yourself means that Scanlan owes me five gold.

[inclementia]

[The sly upturn of his lips is golden.]

Oh, well that I can assist with. Scanlan owing you gold, I mean.

But what favor do you need, darling?

[vexnotvax]

[She knew he'd get a kick out of that one. Worth it in every sense of the word.]

You aren't busy with whatever mystery you've got hiding inside there, are you? I wanted to know if you'd could make me a few new arrows.

[inclementia]

Oh. Yes, that I can do. Anything specific you'd like?

[He has an idea to help Vex get possibly even more gold out of Scanlan, but he'll hold onto that for later.]

[vexnotvax]

[Was he dodging her first question? Maybe something to hold onto until she's got what she wants.]

Unless you've had a fit of inspiration on something new, I wouldn't mind if you could spare the black powder for some of the exploding ones.

[inclementia]

For you? I can manage that. I can start work on those for you - you said midday? After lunch, then.

[He will actually step out of his lab though - clothes also a bit dirtied from whatever he was working on.]

I'll meet you and the others downstairs.

[vexnotvax]

[If he's stepping away, then she's trying to peek at whatever's behind him. In a nonchalant sort of way.]

You're a little late to lunch, darling, but I'll still keep you company.

[inclementia]

[Yeah, he's closing the door before she can. But he's starting to get his waistcoat off.]

Oh? Unfortunate, I have to go get cleaned up before I get in the kitchen to fix myself lunch, don't I? And what would Scanlan think of me not only missing limbs but appearing in clean clothes as well? I think that'd be worth at least ten gold, don't you?

[vexnotvax]

[Well, it seems like she'll have to find out what's going on inside there some other way. She shifts her focus to Percy, brushing his shoulders off.]

I don't think we'd expect anything less from you. But I can make ten gold from that, easily.

should've been "not only not missing limbs" but yknow what

[inclementia]

Then I think I'll go for a quick rinse and change clothes.

[vexnotvax]

I'll see you there.

[Gives him a wink, then heads off.]

[inclementia]

[Mm yep watching her go...

And heading up to his own room to get cleaned up. He'll come downstairs a bit later with his hair washed and everything! So thorough for Vex to get her money.]

There now.

[vexnotvax]

[Meanwhile Vex has occupied herself with bantering with a horny gnome. As soon as Percy appears, looking much better, she holds out her hand to collect her reward before Scanlan makes a strategic exit.]

You're looking lovely, dear. Presentable and sophisticated.

[inclementia]

Hm, well, I do try. Thank you.

I do hope you got your owed winnings.

[vexnotvax]

[Shows him the neat little pile of coins she's collected.]

You know me, I would never leave winnings on the table.

[inclementia]

[He leans against the table, arms crossed with a smile to look at it.]

Oh good. I would have hated to have gone through the trouble for him to weasel out of it.

[vexnotvax]

Do you really think that I'd let him get away with that? Have some faith in me, darling.

[inclementia]

Oh, I have plenty faith in you. But I also know him.

[vexnotvax]

As do I.

So, what was it that's kept you so occupied? You've been quite intent on whatever it is.

[inclementia]

Hm? Oh, only a small project. You'll see when it's finished, no worries.

[vexnotvax]

And there's no way I could entice you to offer me a little sneak peek?

[inclementia]

No, I'm afraid that would ruin the surprise for you.
