I do not recall setting up a payment for any such Piper. I've already made my arrangements with those who requested my aid, and they infact reached out to me previously. If you're to beg you'll have to come to me in person.
Seriously? I'm busy. I'm a busy guy. I've got stuff to do, pipes to... pipe.
Ughhhhh fine, but I'm not gonna beg. You said if I did it you would try to do your enchanty stuff to one of my things, that is called a VERBAL CONTRACT... probably. Where are you?
[A laugh, then; Laedo knows the truth. He's a massive dragon and he's had to deal with their antics, too, for three months longer than this charming human, even.]
You'll find me in the courtyard. Bring a chair, your pipingness, this might take some time.
[Neither of those descriptors sounds especially charming, and Laedo considers what he thinks this buffoon might do with such an amplified weapon. He hedges for a few moments, settling to a sit and making a fuss about curling his tail around his toes, resettling his wings, and then shaking out his neck. The equivalent of cracking knuckles, though it might not translate as well.]
I could do much with it. I assume that you have been using it for self defense. Has it proved sufficient?
...You want a dousing rod? [Laedo glares at Rhys doubtfully, not sure if a super-soaker taser is something that any sane person should give to this human. He's considering the merits of forcing Rhys to read some kind of user's manual before he kills himself, or worse, others.]
[If nothing else, that seals Laedo's concerns. He narrows both eyes in thought at the little gremlin--no, human--because he can see where this is going. One cautious whisper goes so far as to suggest he'll be zapped first. No, that won't do.
He lifts one side of his muzzle in a terrifying smile, baring an arm-length eye tooth as he extends his torso-sized palm.]
May I see your instrument? It should not take long to make the adjustments.
[ Holding it out, he says, ] So, 'making adjustments', what does that actually entail? I'm kind of foggy on the details. What, you just think about doing it and it happens? That sounds wrong, I feel like that can't be right.
That would be what my kind call a 'rip off', [Laedo replies, accepting the little tazer with grace. He navigates it between two long fingers, pressed between opposite toe-beans. Setting it carefully down, he works a little net of magic around it to feel out its mechanisms, to augment them with new capabilities. Of course, to a non-magic user, there's very little to tell that Laedo isn't ripping the man off at all. If one were watching extremely closely, they might see dust floating about the whole finger-wiggling procedure zinging along magic lines in ways that shouldn't be possible, according to natural physics... but that's not much to one who can't see auras.
In a moment, Laedo is done. He gestures for the man to pick his weapon up, now part dousing rod in the fact that it will inexplicably aim towards water.
Is that it? [ It's a bit of a let-down, really. He'd been hoping for flashing lights, sparkles, glowy stuff, something. Where's the pageantry? He frowns, disappointed, but reaches for his weapon anyway. Too impatient to even try it out, he immediately turns on his heel. ] K, thanks, bye.
[Laedo, watching the man leave, gives a snort of disappointment. He'd been hoping that Rhys would at the very least give it a try first, just to see the look on his face.
Ah well, some things aren't meant to be enjoyed straight from the oven, as it were. He flicks his tail impatiently, but for now he'll let the noisome human go.]
((Feel free to have that thing do anything from be able to douse for water to full on water-jet and electric zap! Whatever's most fun for you... Laedo could have done any of the things but I figure you'll know best. >:]))
