Sapphire Rode - Armoury
Sapphire put her hands on her hips with an unimpressed look on her face.
"And where exactly do you know a professional prosthesis doctor from?" The surgery he had mentioned wasn't exactly uncommon but it was also delicate. Professional surgeons practiced in the technique were in high demand. Gren didn't exactly look like the kind of person to have high reaching social connections. Figuring he wouldn't answer her Sapphire filed the information away to look into another day.
When Gren asked her if she had any connections that could get them the neural processing cards for Sangue's new arm Sapphire froze. There were two answers to that question. Both of them equally valid and more or less true. Technically speaking she did not and Sapphire was tempted to give this answer to Gren for one clear reason. She didn't trust him. Neural processing cards could be used for a lot of things and Sapphire wasn't particularly keen on the idea of handing them over to Gren. The other answer to his question was the more true. Her family name carried a fair amount of weight in certain circles. If she called the right people she could very likely get what was needed.
"I can make a few calls to some..." of my mother's "...friends but there's three things you should understand before I do. The first is that I make no promises about what I can or can't get. The second is that if I can get what you need I will the one installing them on the arm. Thirdly this is a one time deal, I won't be doing this ever time you have a science project you can't afford to build." She would not become known as
the tech girl who could get everyone cheap weapons.
Sapphire wasn't particularly bothered by the fact that Shiro blatantly ignored her during her exchange with Gren. She kept an ear out for what he was saying and while she wasn't a particular fan of his it seemed his engineering skills were half decent. She could have made a couple suggestions to improve his design but decided she wasn't going to be the one that forced him to speak to her. She had no desire to open that Pandora's Box.
In way of greeting, Sangue who it seemed was mostly nonverbal bowed to Sapphire. It was hunter's etiquette, a bit dated but still utilized by some of the older families. Sapphire hadn't needed it in the longest time but she still remembered her father teaching her how to do it. Sapphire bowed back. As was customary She placed her right hand on her lower back with the palm facing outwards and her left hand on her stomach with her knuckles facing Sangue. She bowed, arching her back at a fifteen degree angle before she straightened and nodded to Sangue, making eye contact.
It was moments after this that Shiro trying to get Sangue's measurements, realized that it was rather inappropriate to take her bust size himself. He instead handed Sangue the measuring tape so she could do it herself. She she slipped the top half of her robe off to take the required measurements. The effect was instantaneous and honestly rather funny. An amused smirk lit Sapphire's face as Shiro and Gren started running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to avoid looking at Sangue's breasts. Sapphire wasn't really bothered. She'd grown up with two sisters. Seeing girls in a state of undress wasn't strange to her. Not that she was staring but neither did she feel the need to avert her gaze from the thirty feet around Sangue like the boys were doing. At the point when Gren started spouting off anything he could think to say and Shiro made a hasty retreat for the CNC machine Sapphire decided to intervene.
"Sangue, would you mind pulling your top up? You're making the boys overheat."Once Sangue had covered herself Gren invited her to go with them to the Emerald Forest to look for materials for her arm. That struck Sapphire as strange. She'd never been to the Emerald Forest personally but she knew it was the sister woods to Forever Fall where they'd had their initiation. For Sangue's arm though they'd need raw metals not wood. Admittedly Sapphire had looked at topography maps of the area and there were some cave sites but they hadn't been thoroughly explored or mapped out. There was no evidence to suggest there was anything of value in them. While she was thinking this over Gren invited her to join the party mostly she assumed because she was in the area and he was trying to appear courteous, for whatever that was worth.
"Before I answer why the Emerald Forest? It's not exactly known for its rich mineral deposits."@harinezumikouken@Lucius Cypher@NarayanK
