*after everyone had breakfast, washed up and did their normal morning rituals, the gang got into the cart and made their way on their long journey to calleopaea*

eventually the party makes their way to the town of keros, sasha pulls over to an inn ... the city seemed to be bustling and the calleopaean institute loomed in the background of the city, a majestic marble building with columns. there also appeared to be a market selling odd magical items, food, weaponry and all sorts of things.

*Delrim walks around to the front of the cart to give directions.* "We'll be heading for one of the research buildings at the Calleopean Institute, the person i'm meeting has an office there." *He says pointing in the building's rough direction* "You all can come with me if you want, it'll probly just be boring crafter's talk to most."

"I'd love to meet him if he has some free after I finish my business. Perhaps the man I need to see and your cousin know each other and we can all head to the tavern for food afterward. Minus myself on the food of course." *Delrim says as he continues to direct Sasha down some side streets taking a few shortcuts to avoid the main road traffic during market day.*

"Not everything is about magic Sasha, the advances the Institute has made in engineering marvels is also expanding the realm of that the purely mundane can do." *He opens a panel on the side of his arm revealing the gears and cogs turning within his arm, holding up his hand and flexing one finger at a time, each one causing a different set of gears and springs to rotate in the myriad of construction.* "Take me for example. While yes, I am kept alive within this form by the magic that bound me to it, I am also constructed with many mundane engineering designs that helped pioneer some of the more recent technological advancements in limb replacement."

"I'll give you a crash-course in simple mechanics some time. They're fairly logical in design, but the more complex they get, they transition from being like the alphabet, into a book."

Tamamo watches with a complicated expression "I don't know, Delrim, it's pretty complicated. I mean I can do magic, but even I have trouble understanding how it works, so I wouldn't expect Sasha to understand it if I were you. All I really know is to be cautious with magic and give it the respect it deserves, it can be very dangerous in capable hands." She points to herself "Like me, for example. I'm very good at bending people's minds to my will." She says with a smile that is suddenly equal parts cute and meanasing "Good thing I'm on your side then, no?" She says with a giggle and her usual sweet expression returns like it was never gone in the first place

"Oh, i do give it due respect. but i also work with it on a daily basis." *he pulls out one of his devices that looks much like a normal wand, it has a copper wire spiraling up the side leading to the tip, which is capped with a small crystal. the wood is engraved with images of anvils, fire, needles and thread (this one lets him cast Crafter's Fortune) and hands it to Tamamo.* "I have the ability to pull magic out of ordinary objects, though i cannot manifest it freely myself as most casters can. I utilize this ability in my craft, and my knowledge of this magic only flourished after i had learned the workings of the mundane. Though not all have the ability to learn magic, whether divine, arcane, or primal, all have the ability to learn at least some of the mundane skill that comes through mechanisms." *He pulls out a small lock with inner workings exposed and easy to manipulate.* "think of it like a puzzle. Anyone who works hard enough can eventually finish it, though some will finish it much faster than others. This is what i tried to explain to the few apprentices who came to learn the art of magic item creation. They think it is all about being able to infuse magic into a blade, or item, when really you need to pull the existing magic from within the item."
OOC: delrim will continue to ramble on about his theories on magic item creation and mundane mechanics until someone shuts him up, or they arrive at the Institute, whichever comes first.

Tamamo looks daunted by the overwhelming information as she looks at the wand "Delrim, I'm not sure you're aware that most people aren't as intelligent as you are. I only know how to summon magic from deep within me, I don't have any understanding for how magic works. I'm sure this is very interesting, but I don't think that Sasha and I would be able to truly understand or appreciate it." She looks up and gives an apologetic smile, like she's sad that her own shortcomings have hindered her from getting closer to the kind metallic giant. She then looks at the wand again "Although I'll give you this; it's certainly beautiful craftsmanship." She smiles kindly once more before giving the wand back and wrapping an arm around Sasha

"... and then you have to work through the wea...." *Delrim stops as Tamamo speaks, waiting till she finishes.* "Oh, no, My apologies, I have a tendency to go a bit overboard when discussing magical theories and mechanics. It really is a fascinating subject if you have the time to sit down and work with them." *Delrim scratches the back of his head making a clanging noise, and looking slightly embarrassed in posture.*

Tamamo continues to smile in a kind way "I can see you're very interested and passionate about it. If it wasn't fascinating then you obviously wouldn't be so, I'm happy you can find so much joy in it." Tamamo says showing off her way with words while her smile looks more sweet than usual
OOC: I accidentially deleated my post
