    Adir gets a hold on the bag's strap, but Sakura doesn't let go just yet. "You don't have to, you know." She says, smiling gently. Adir's eagerness to do so much isn't lost on her. "You're already carrying everything else."

    "I know, I know," Adir says with an embarrassed little smile. "It's my job."

    He gives another little tug on the bag. It seems he won't take no for an answer.

    Sakura holds onto it stubbornly, but smiles a little. "But how are we supposed to have a romantic stroll through the woods if we can't hold hands because yours are full?" She questions and her smile grows.

    Adir opens his mouth to speak, but he can't really argue with that. "Aaaand that's why you're the smart one," He says with a grin. The stag will instead snatch up her free hand, and presumably proceed to take her on that romantic stroll.

    Pat takes a seat across from Harnel and folders her legs under herself. The shape of her body made it difficult to do so, but she wasn't going to complain when she had two Masters willing to teach her. Taking in a deep breath, she closes her eyes and allows her body to relax.

    An expression of calm and concentration appears on Wenomir's face. Like he expected, he's familiar with such techniques, the goal of which is to clear one's mind of distractions. The imagery of the flame is new, though.

    Pat attempts to do what Harnel suggests, and while she can imagine the flame, she can't get rid of everything else. The only way she could do so is to lock off the rest of her Hive, and that would render it defenseless as there'd be nothing to control it. She couldn't risk that, not after the last attack against her.

    "I apologize, but I do not believe I can learn this."
    She tells him. "I am a Hive mind. There's simply no shutting down for me."

    Grantz approaches the woman knocking on the door.

    "Excuse me Madam but can you tell me where I am, my wandering seems to have led me into another strange place."

    Hopefully this woman wasn't as mistrusting as Eadin and Lynette was.

    And the door will be opened from Inside. A young woman in a priestress dress stands there holding a stuff with 3 gears grap into each other and turning around endless. The woman seems t be a teenager. Behind her stands a big robot holding open the door.

    Cornelia turns to Grantz, studying him with her good eye. She doesn't seem distrusting, merely a little wary of this new face. However, Grantz is rather polite. She speaks, the bandanna on her face moving ever so slightly, "Aye. This 's Watchtower."

    Mid-speech, Mia appears, greeting the both of them. She glances toward Grantz. "Well, there you go." Her attention returns to Mia. "Hullo. M' here 'bout some work?"

    "Watchtower? I've not heard of this place before."

    Turning to the woman in the priestess dress, Grantz recognizes the face.

    Madam if I'm not mistaken you were the one at Trog's Tavern with Winston and the machine. A coincidence to meet again though we never spoke. May I look inside this place called the watchtower?

    First Mia's attention goes to Cornelia. Looking a bit strnage at her accent, but shee won't mind that.

    "We are recently go to change our business range and I think new members are needed. Please fill out the form and we go on."

    Don't know if you know it, but recuitment has changed in Watch as you can see in the first post. MDM will pront out the form and Mia hands it over with a pen.

    Then she turns to Grantz. Confused what he means with 'that machine' he turns to MDM and shrugs.

    "I can't remember that there was that machine or so and I also don't remember you back there. Either way this place isn't a museum. I can't allow people to come inside and make a tour. If there is anything I could help you, I will do my best."

    Harnel opens his eyes and frowns, "I don't know if I'd call this shutting down. More like clearing - the direction this exercise is supposed to take is to clear your mind so you can focus on what you're doing and consider the different ways it could change. The Diamond Mind is clarity of purpose and the ability to focus - a flame is just what I use to represent clearing my head."

    Nelia gets a bit more curious at Grantz when he mentions smithing. Armor's not really her specialty, but that could prove to be some work.

    Cornelia first get's a respond from Mia.

    "The Form includes your data, Abilities and some information about your person. we need this to see if your fit for the tasks falling to Watchtower members. We will use it to find tasks best fitting for you. and MDM here could write things up for you as well."

    She points at the robot behind her which you can see a picture in the char directory of Mia. The robot offers one of his big hands to take the form back and write on it.

    Then she went to Grantz, now a bit annoyed.

    "We aren't a shopping center either.I would suggests you to head for Mallside, the local shopping center."

    Well there is one blacksmith who was in Watch, not sure if he still is, but after all this is no shopping center to order things.^^

    Cornelia scowls at the robot. She's not the most trusting toward machinery, in particular machinery that walks. "I'll write it." She grumbles, taking the form from Mia.

    Then that fellow can't help but ask about armor again. Cornelia turns, pursing her lips through the bandanna. "Look, friend, how about I forge somethin for ye?"

    Grantz turns to the Madam from earlier.

    "You can do that for me? I've got a couple of materials and money. Where can I find your forge?"

    Grantz can't help but smile, at the stranger willing to smith for him.
