A Little More Than Sightseeing (Rai/GM)

[Sir Galahad]

Eve was able to find a small but comfy chair to sit in. As she looked about the room it was cluttered like a workshop. But instead of tools it looked like a bunch of random peices of rocks, metals, and even armor pieces.

"I suppose you are referring to M, Liam, and Myself?"

F wod ask as he removed some clutter from another chair as he took a seat.

"I should say we are pretty close. M is my sister and Liam is the one that saved us when we were children. Since then we have all taken turns keeping each other out of harm's reach."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

Eve nodded as F mentioned the trio iin question. The explanation was one that made sense to her, whether the siblings were related by blood or experience.

"Famiy's one of the most important things anyone can have. I can understand that."

[Sir Galahad]

F nodded.

"That is true, though... I wouldn't call us a family. Not in the traditional sense. Even though M is my sister we don't really have a sibling relationship."

He would shrug.

[Evelyn Amtrum]

Eve would shrug as Spike and her menagerie of Ubcles came to mind, along with her grandparents. Including her father’s parents and Mathew’s reaction thr one time she’d asked about them. It had been enough.

“Family isn’t necessarily blood; they’re the people you chose, and who choose you.” She gave him a slight smile. “Circumstance can do it too.

“Speaking of circumstance does make me wonder what exactly you’ve heard about me this morning.” And if it was going to be a headache to deal with.

[Sir Galahad]

F would chuckle.

"I heard that you hassled some poor businessman, refused to let him close up his shop. Demanded that he help you, and then got so heated the M, of all people, had to assist the man in getting you to go away."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

Eve's brows rose a little higher with every part. Some of it was kind of right, kind of, but by the end she snorted and rolled her eyes.

"People will say what they want. If I'm hassling a man by talking to him after he's slammed the screen in my face, I'd hate to know what they consider an actual problem." Next time she'd let him hurt himself, then.

[Sir Galahad]

F would shrug.

"The story might seem far fetched to you, but you must remember, these people don't know you. For all that man knew, his life was in danger, and you were giving off all the wrong signals to suggest to him otherwise."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

“Funny how I sent all these wrong signals, but they had no problem laughing at me while it happened.” Her voice hardened as her posture straightened. But F wasn’t attacking her, just stating what sheep said. She looked to the side, forcing herself to relax. Next time she’d just see if they found it funny when it happened to them.

“Either way, I asked.” She shrugged and look back to F. She was done talking about herself.

“You said you excavate and make things that are used here. Does that mean you’re the one who made the shields the soldiers use?”

[Sir Galahad]

F nodded.

"I did, I even made the one you're wearing now, believe it or not. In fact the ones you and your father wear were the very first two, successful, devices I made. Your father is wearing my old one, and you, my dear, are wearing M's old device. That's probably one of the reasons she feels like she has some kind of connection with you."

He 2ould shrug.

"Or maybe not, even though she is my sister, I still find her impossible to read at times."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

“I get the impression most have trouble reading her.” Though F seemed like it was second nature to him. She looked at the shield when he mentioned hers, tucking the information away for later with a nod.

“They were impressive to see; the soldiers used theirs well.” She tapped a finger against her shield with a thoughtful expression.

“Depending on what my father finds with those crystals, you might want to look into them if you know of any more deposits.” They’d been dismissed when asked, which meant even the people here weren’t at their full potential.

“I don’t know how much you have in the area, but qi crystals are able to do quite a bit. It would be interesting to see what you can do.”

[Sir Galahad]

F scratched his head.

"A what now?"

[Evelyn Amtrum]

"A qi crystal. I don't know what you call them here." She described what they looked like since she didn't have any on her.

"I know Chief Liam said he knew of a couple deposits from scouting parties, but thought they were a luxury. I'm not entirely sure how much we'll need, but they can do quite a bit. People with abilities can amplify those abilities, and they can power technology, so I think you could probably find them useful. They can make traveling long distances easier, too."

[Sir Galahad]

F listened intently.

"Interesting. I've never heard nor seen such a thing. I could definitely use such an item for my shop. That would come in handy for sure! Oh I can only imagine what I could craft then..."

The wheels in his head were working in overdrive, and he was now lost in his thoughts.

[Evelyn Amtrum]

It was impossible to miss the wheels turning in his head, but Evelyn had expected as much. It was part of why she'd suggested it to F in the first place. Her lips quirked for a moment in an amused smile.

"Like I said, I don't know how much we'll need or is there, but if nothing else, it's something for scouting parties to keep an eye out for." She shifted in her seat for a second before getting up to take a look around at some of the things F's been working on!

[Sir Galahad]

She would notice a few bands and other materials that looked similar to her shield. These were obviously the materials he used to make them. She would also find various other pieces of metal, cloth, leather, and even a few different types of rocks scattered about every where. There didn't seem to be any signs of working devices in his shop though, at least none that she could tell.
