Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap

The redhead raised an eyebrow at that 180°degree change in demeanor from Amon, but before she could say anything he was already rushing towards her and she was being lifted off the floor. So instead of commenting on it she just laughed. "'Honeybunny', really?" She thought with a snicker, then wrapped her arms around his shoulders so she wasn't the only one getting a hug.
"I missed you too... Did you finish your projects?" She asked first, then spotted the two small clockwork dolls. "Hi Abby, and hi Abe."
"Eh...sort of..." Amon replied. "I still need to finish up a few things, but I did promise to come back as soon as possible. I got the majority of it done, so the finishing touches I can work on here and there. I ended up working on some of EIRAL's orders, which by the way, sorry for the cold shoulder..." he continued eventually setting Edel back onto solid ground. "I'll explain later," he added, feeling a little guilty.
"So...I found out I now have a new member that wants to be my apprentice...anything else that I missed?"

"You can say 'Operation Rescue' was a relative success. No one died and you-know-who" Skye, not Voldemort. "is safely hidden. Also EIRAL's old barracks exploded (just in case you didn't hear of it before), and Stephen now has about twice more cats than he did before you went away. That's about it, I think." She listed.
"Talking of EIRAL's orders though, there was something I wanted to purchase for my own guild too," She's not wanting to order stuff for free, of course. Those would probably be expensive, way more than would be affordable to ask for in the random-gift-to-girlfriend category. "but I needed to talk to you first about it.... And... 'Honeybunny', really?" She ended up snickering again.

Amon flushed up for a bit. "...Bad name choice...?" he asked sheepishly. It was something he heard about: other couples giving each other nicknames. Maybe this wasn't the right one. Ah well. At least Skye's rescue operation went well...he'll need to touch base with Stephen at some point, as he was in the initial meeting and (presumably) joined up.
"Yeah, I heard about the explosion...I may have been locked away myself, but I at least was able to hear about that...and the resulting Martial Law," he replied with a sigh. No use asking for more details at the moment.
As for this other request...

"Not really." She shook her head when he asked if that had been a bad name choice. Her life experience taught her nothing that made another smile (and not out of sadism) could be a bad thing, even if she didn't fully get what of hers he thought was alike to a honey bunny. Maybe it was related to her giant sweet tooth. "A bit unexpected, but not bad. Sounds rather cute." She pondered first, then another thought formed along a smile on her lips as she watched his face. "Well if I'm your 'honeybunny', then you're my rainy day." Silver framing dark green, like rain in the woods. Seemed fitting, and she had always loved rain.
"Do you have (or can make) any robots that can work as sparring partners or that you'd not mind taking damage? I need some practice once in a while (and some others do too), but often it's not... a very good idea to practice against my workers. Mainly not when regarding people who'd have trouble explaining at home how they got new bruises or why they're bleeding black from scratches."
Amon gave her a slightly concerned, inquisitive look at her nickname; depending on how one looks at it, it could have either negative or positive connotations; he'd like to think of the latter and not the former, but...still.
As he was assuming she meant it in a positive light, she described her request.
"...Huh..." Amon replied, moving to the counter to grab a notepad. "...I don't want to use clockwork dolls...too fragile and expensive...steambots could work, but then they might be too big and clunky...maybe some sort of combination...?" he muttered, writing down a few notes.

"Hmmm... Around 5, I think."
Since it'd not be only her who would be using those, and not only assassins either, the bouncers from the casinos and bars around would be in the list too. Also because it's not like she could be constantly paying for repairs imediately everytime something breaks, her guild's funds have a bottom and she wished to avoid even glimpsing it before Sveden even arrives. So it had to be a number that could last... The redhead would even be tempted to order more than 5 if it wasn't for, again, the thought of her guild's funds not being bottomless (oh what a bless it would be if it was).
"I'd like them soon, but I'm aware I'm no mechanic so can't judge time for those things well, and EIRAL should be burying you in requests as soon as news spread you're back, so just work on it when you have time. ...Did I say anything troublesome before, though? You made quite a worried face..."
"Five..." Amon muttered to himself, the gears in his head turning. "...Yeah, I think I can come up with something...can't give you an exact ETA, but I'll let you know."
At her last question, he merely gave a worried smile and a shrug. "I can safely assume that I'm your 'rainy day' in a positive way...and not 'raining' on any parade...?" he asked, looking for an explanation.

"........." She couldn't help but chuckle at that last question. "Yes, it's positive. Ive always loved rain. It's refreshing, and makes people appreciate warmth much more. Besides," She reached out a hand to touch his hair. "Silver and pretty. It does remind me of you."
Amon merely gave Edel an amused expression, blushing a little before giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"So, can I help you with anything else...? Or maybe we could talk more during another date...?"

"Nothing that I can think of at the moment... I just passed by because saw your shop was open again so wanted to see if you were back." So it had been a bit of a whimsical visit... and she now better let him tend to his actual customers that might come rather than keep on hogging his attention. "I guess I should go and stop embarrassing you in front of the twins," The redhead pondered with a bit of a teasing smile. "but feel free to pass by my place another day if you want to go out or just chat. You still remember where I live, right?"

"We're only taking record for posterity," said Abe.
Amon rolled his eye. "Yeah, I remember. Maybe sometime this week...?"
