[[Theta is sitting at her chair in her shop, the clocks and clockworks around her all ticking along merrily. She smiles at the camera, though someone well versed in noting details about a person might notice that it's just a bit forced and stressed

[Elena's sitting back at her desk, a few files spread out in front of her. She would have ignored the message - there was always so much work to do - but the little assistant looks a little....cute. And helpful.]

That's quite an interesting little creation you've made. [It could almost, with some tweaking, be made into one of Scarlet's old Slashers.] Can it do anything besides fetching things?

He's very clever...exceeded my own expectations recently, actually, as he got someone to help him do something he couldn't by himself.

I can make more specialised ones if you had something in mind?

I'm already making a set of clanks for ShinRa if that's what you're after. That redheaded friend of yours doesn't think I can. [[Yes, Reno pinged her arrogance and manipulated her right into doing work for ShinRa for free.]]

Specialized, hmmm? [Why yes, the idea of having one of those little things to help her with her files and reports would be nice. Maybe a pair that could code and decode messages. But she was still a little suspicious of Theta and couldn't guarantee that whatever little assistant she took in would be used against her.] I can't think of anything just yet, but if I do I'll be sure to check with you and see if its possible.

[A short pause later.]

I'm not exactly after anything at the moment, just curious about your machines. And you may need to be a bit more descriptive about which of my red-headed friends you're talking about, too. I'm afraid I'm not sure which of the pair you're talking about. [Because, you see, Elena can think of two people who fit that description and both of which would probably have the same thoughts.]

I realise it's an unknown field for most of you, but I am the best ergaleomancer of my generation. I can make whatever I please. [[She's smug, but it's not simply idle bragging. She does have quite a bit of skill to back that up with.]]

And it was the one with marks under his eyes. [[She doesn't realise that's not helpful, but thankfully she's feeling dramatic and so she reaches up to draw a stripe under her eye--Reno's eye markings, not Axel's.]]

Seeing that I don't know any others, I'll have to take your word for it. Are all your creations peaceful or can they be made to be more aggressive? [Those little wheels in Elena's brain. They're turning with ideas.]

.....Gaia's blessing. [Elena's pinching the bridge of her nose. While the statement didn't give her a clue as to who it was, the physical drawing was all the sign she needed. Always causing trouble, that one.] Ah, so you've met Reno then. How bad was he?

Dangerous clockworks are forbidden by English law. I've never turned my hand to it, but I don't particularly see why not. You'll have to be very careful with them, they're known to rebel.

Reno wasn't bad, overall, he just needs a lesson in what clockworks can do.

I didn't think that being aggressive and being dangerous went hand in hand. I was thinking more of a protective device, like a mini personal protector.

[There's a little grin forming at the corner of her mouth.] Well, that's good to hear. Reno can be a bit....eccentric at times. I'm sure once he gets a better understanding of what you do he'll be less of a pain.
