[PRP] You Know, A Hovercraft (Erin/Rabbit/Silk)

[Smerdle]

It was kind of fun, having a mostly silent mechanical fan beast trailing along behind them as they made their way to the Spinel Lady's domain. The court had changed Rabbit's clothing as usual, but instead of his standard sleeveless tunic, it had gone metallic and structured today, perhaps as an homage to what they had brought.

When he had approached his fetch about setting up a meeting with Silk, she had jumped at the chance, almost as if she had been waiting to be more than a target of ridicule or a babysitter. He was definitely going to have to do something nice for her soon. Maybe he'd even apologize.

"Sorry about the fancy clothes thing," Rabbit said, his voice low. "It just kind of happens." He stopped in front of the doors, looking at the floor instead of the imposing fetches in front of him.

"We have an appointment with the fetch Silk," Rabbit said, his voice respectful and very nearly commanding. It didn't last. "Lord Bennett and Erin, Master of Computers."

Left Beef and Right Beef nudged the doors open. "First hall on the left, first door on the right," said Left Beef.

Rabbit nodded and led the way inside, waiting by Silk's door until Erin had adjusted.

"I think they've got an idea," he said softly. "And if they don't, what we brought will look even cooler, right?" Rabbit was kind of nervous. The fan beast had exploded so many times during its conception that he worried it would again, even though it had done so well since.

"Everything will be fine." He was clearly reassuring himself more than anything else.

With a shaky smile, Rabbit knocked on Silk's door and pushed it open a crack. "Hello?"

"Hello," said Silk. She didn't get up from her desk. There were piles and piles of papers there, folded sheets of heavy parchment pinned down with sparkling rocks. She did look up and nod, though, as much of a bow as she could take the time to give right then. "Oroh told me you had something for me?"

"Yes, we have, um, one item attuned to elemental air." He stepped to the side, coaxing their hovering machine forward with a little of his magic. "It's imbued correctly, I know that much, but the parts we used to make it are all over my head. I use computers, I don't fix them, you know?" He chuckled a little, gesturing at Erin as he regained his decorum. "You can explain these things better than I can."

Silk didn't seem terribly impressed by their air-attuned monstrosity. She raised both eyebrows just a little bit, and then she summoned the thing towards her and it vanished into where-ever she was keeping all of the attuned items. "Thank you," she said. "I'll see that it's put to good use when the time comes. Is there anything else?"

He was surprised to see it go so quickly, just disappearing into thin air like that. The eyebrow raise went largely unnoticed, mostly because so many people had been unimpressed while looking at Rabbit over the years that it really didn't register. He nodded in response to her thanks.

"I don't have anything. Erin?"

"Then please," said Silk, "I am incredibly busy. Thank you for your contribution."
