[ Audio ] Egret Day Seven, Late(r) Morning

[themasterthief]

I'm not sure what this world will be like--honestly I don't understand half of what we're being told--but I do know what my specialty is: procuring items.

I know this place is probably going to be hectic from the sound of things but I still think the best way I can help anyone is to work my way into getting us things we need or want for the train. Don't worry--I won't make life harder on the people we're here to help. [That line is specifically for people like Tony Stark that might find offense in what he does. But he's still determined to do this.]

But what I'm offering is this: tell me what you want and I'll try to get it.

Name anything for now because we don't know what will be there but I can always look for it.

"A method to melt silver" then. Whatever it might be.

Does the heroic scholar expect anything in return?

[themasterthief]

Yeah, that would be easy if we weren't stuck on a train. I can't say starting a fire on board this thing would work out too well though. I'll look into it.

Well. We don't really have money here. Everything vital is restocked once a month. Unless you have a hoard of points for purchasing snacks, I've got no reason to ask for anything I can't get while out.

[les_magique]

What about a flying carpet?

[themasterthief]

...I have to admit, I've never had one of those. [But it certainly sounds like something someone would ask him to steal. It's intriguing.] I'm not...that familiar with magic outside of Ryslig monster magic. Is it something magical?

[He's really not even sure if this was a legit thing. It could be a joke. Please be gentle with him if it is a joke. No, don't.]

[les_magique]

I can't promise it SOON but with those tools I could probably whip one up.

Also I'd need a carpet.

And yes it's very magic.

[No joking here. Samata is great and powerful.]

[themasterthief]

[Well, he's not laughing but he is stunned into silence for a few seconds. About thirty of them.

Then:] You're serious.

All right. I'll find a carpet.

I'd like to see it fly.

[les_magique]

Of course I'm serious! I am a great and powerful wizard!

But also don't expect your flying carpet to be ESPECIALLY maneuverable. I'm still trying to figure out an elegant way of controlling it. For now it's just tapping arrows.

[themasterthief]

[Now he has to stifle his laughter. Which is more a soft chuckle actually.]

I believe you.

[But does he.]

I'll be impressed if it flies at all. It can't be easy to make a carpet fly.

Barring the two second's worth of flight produced by throwing it.

[les_magique]

Bring me that silver and you'll see. And then you can apologize for ever doubting my power.

[She doesn't sound like she ENTIRELY blames him for laughing. She's enjoying this.]

[themasterthief]

I'll get the silver. And we'll see about that apology.

[Good, because his tone indicates he's having fun, too.]
