	[color=orange]"Promise it'll be fun?"[/color] Lein wagged the mop with a wink, splashing water onto the flagstones. But alas, the leporine swordswoman would not be moved. Eh, worth a try. Her sharp rebuke was reward enough to sate Lein's amusement. He kicked up the lye soap to land it right into the bucket, whistled in celebration of his own meager success, and got to work with little regard for Rui's surveillance.

	[color=orange]"Why, I'm just trying to help our most hardworking smith not work out of a crater."[/color] Lein said with dramatic incredulity, [color=orange]"Finger pointin' like that's gonna scare away your good image. But if you insist on side-eyeing me, I'd be more than happy to give you cause."[/color]

	Lein rolled up what remained of his torn sleeve covering the prosthetic arm, getting a feel for the weight of its casing and joints. He had never known with great detail what went on below the steel casing, but he could nonetheless feel the pulleys and hooks that interlocked to translate the movements of the connector plate into the dexterous movements Lein relied on. It was remarkably light for its sturdiness, keeping an even balance between his living arm and the artificial one. [color=orange]"Last time I got into a tussle, it was with this giant mass of tentacles. Stank to high heavens, had to spend my entire quiver downing this thing without it getting its dirty mitts on me. Thought I might have to get something to sock someone without getting into swinging range, in case I'm back in a pinch. You've heard of a rope dart, right?"[/color]

	Lein splayed his fingers over a flattop, examining the hooked grooves that the artificer left empty. He then picked up a dagger from the rack of spares and mimicked the motion of throwing it from the wrist of his prosthetic and pulling it back mid-flight as if to demonstrate. [color=orange]"Any chance you can make a rope dart light, compact, something I can coil 'round, say, a steel arm? I know you've always been wanting to try out some wild ideas, and I'd be more than happy to be a test subject."[/color]
