Skydancers preened. Spirals didn't preen. Spitz especialy didn't preen, but he admited to himself he might have been preening just a little bit as he proudly answered Quetz's questions. This was his time to shine after all! He was the best inventor in his clan and now it was time for the world to know it!
And rubbing it in the face of members of Lightning Flight that an Arcane dragon from Wind Flight could be just as good at science as that workaholic bunch would be an extra bonus. His wings fluttered happily at the thought.
The mirror walking slightly behind him gave his backmost wings a quick swat. "Spitz, you're practicaly vibrating. Can't you calm down just a little?"
"Absolutely not this is just so exciting how can you not be Quartz?" He asked all in a rush, causing a few other dragons passing by them to glance their way, wondering if someone had let the Spiral have a little too much coffee that morning. However anyone who'd spent any time at Wayfarer's Rest would know that a calm Spitz was already pretty over hyperactive even for a Spiral.
"I'm excited yes but," Quartz glanced nervously about, "there's just so many dragons in this competition. What if our invention pales in comparison to the rest of them?"
Spitz snorted. "Magic is not inferior or incompatible with science. Your helmet proves it."
Quarz seemed to cheer up a bit at the reference to their joint submission. She felt naked without it's comforting weight on it's head, but it was a pretty amazing device.
"WHERE IS IT?!?!" The Mirror shrieked as she tore through the storeroom, not caring about the potential collateral damage she was causing to other dragons' submissions. Spitz hurried after the frantic dragon, doing his best to prevent most of the previously mentioned colateral damage while at the same time trying to grab her in order to try and pin her down. Or at least trip her up as she was twice his size.
Finaly he managed and they both went sprawling to the ground in a tangle of wings and limbs. While Quartz seemed to have regained her senses enough that she wasn't ransaking the place anymore, she was still clearly distraught. "Spitz, we need to find it. It's not a matter of pride. I'm useless without it! I won't be of any help to the clan and Zevran will kick me out of the Crows and find a better sniper and-"
"Sush!" Spitz shouted loud enough to be heard over her frantic cries, and gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder. Once she quieted he continued on, taking the effort to slow his speech down enough to appear concerned. "MJN is good at what they do, aren't they?" He asked, referring to the clan's transport team who'd delivered the helmet last week, "They came back with a signed receipt and everything so we know it's here. You go look and see if it was simply misplaced somewhere. Calmly.
She nodded, but still looked distraught. "What are you going to do?" She asked as she started to disentangle herself from the Spiral's coils.
Spitz's large eyes gleamed with delight as he started drumming his talons against the floor and looking around the storage room, brain whirring and processing as he took in every scrap of metal and wire that was laying about, whether it had been there before or was remnants from Quartz's rampage. "I'mgonnabuildsomethingevenbetter," he said in an almost sing-song hum. ((C))
((oh man...it's so weird seeing Quartz without her headgear on, but I figured it would be better if I kept it off for the duration of the game as it's gone missing....hope they find it or she's going to murder me for loosing it!))
