Rain-Yes I understand completely, I have had clock work on the mind since I was a boy. The way that the correct combination of small seemingly insignifigant pieces can create somthing complex and powerful is wonderful.
Rain-(waits for a pause in the conversation then says) " sorry to eavesdrop but I heard you might be in the market for a mechanist who could help with some ancient relics? If so then I might be able to assist with that. My name is Morian'yeth, rain for short."
** Rain walks up to the twin oak doors that tower over the entrance to the House of Lords. When he enters he finds two others speaking to Madame Rochev and quietly gets in line behind them, attempting to listen into the conversation while not looking too suspicious.
Rain-well, let's get a move on. We're burning daylight.
Rain -A Mage calling a machinist dull? that machine must really be broken, the real world is quite distorted indeed.
Rain-would you look at that! I diden't even notice until now. What caused it? Has time gone by Or is somthing causing night early?
Rain- nice to meet you maren. I study clockwork specificly, I'm in the process of training at the mechanist guild. What is your field?
