A soft rumble leaves Flora's muzzle as she guides Kalt into her study, where various designs are spread out on the desk and pinned to a wooden board. Golems, and prosthetic arms... Seems she's been... Exceptionally busy.

Kalt follows after Flora while looking around, a low whistle leaving the Vixen as she nods before looking to Flora with a gentle smile. "I uh... The arm stuff ain't all bout me is it? Be mighty sad if'n I took that much of your time M'thinkin..."

"If Flora does something, Flora does it /right/," the cat mumbles, looking at several crossed-out designs. "Weight-balance, engraved runes, everything is important... Even if the latter gives Flora an intense headache, yes," she mumbles, tails swaying lightly behind her.

Kalt nods gently to Flora as she walks along, looking over the designs, even though most of it is far beyond her understanding. "I... Yess'm, supposin' that's a fair'nuff way of thinkin' an' all... But you went an' designed all these arms..." She still has that sound of disbelief about her from the tiger's work ethic!

A smile, a nod, and Flora rummages through her desk, pulling out five separate designs that seem to be the ones she took the biggest liking to. "Flora has, to save Flora some headaches, opted to optimize the mechanical parts first, and /then/ reach for the magic to make them better... Doing it the other way around was... Less successful," she mumbles, gesturing at the woodenboard on the other side of the room, showing various designs with a large, red mark thruogh them. "Each design needs different magic, so once you decide the magic, the design is more-or-less locked in," she explains after a moment as she pins the five designs to the nearest wooden board, putting them on full display. Each comes with a ful list of required parts.

Kalt looks over the designs slowly, while walking back and forth, reaching as she gently runs her fingers over one. "Which arm's the toughest you think?" The Vixen quick to bring out her main concern first as she looks at a wooden one and tilts her head.

"This metal one is the toughest... But also the heaviest, yes. Much heavier than a normal arm, would take getting used to. "Wood is also an option, would be closer to normal in weight, though it would be less protective, yes. We can clad it in leather or hides as well... It wouldn't do much for protection, but it'd make it feel more... Real... Although it won't do anything for the hardness, no..."

Kalt nods as she reaches up to rub her chin, before looking back to Flora as she nods. "M'thinkin' I'll be needin' the metal the most... Don't wanna have someone go an' splinter an' arm when M'tryin' to raise a shield an' all... Hmmm..."

A nod, a mumble. "There is... Another option... Flora could make each of them. A padded one for... Social occasions, a wooden one for every day, and a metal one for combat," she mumbles. As for splintering an arm... It's quite strong, even if it isn't metal-strong... Flora was thinking wood around an iron or other metal rod," she mumbles, tails flicking behind her.

Kalt turns to look over the designs once more as she furrows her brow in thought before looking to Flora. "... I... I don't think that'd be a bad idea no. Would probably come in kinda handy an' all... An I could work to pay you for all of 'em M'supposin... How much you figurin' all that'd cost?"

A nod, a gesture at each of the three designs. "Material-costs are right below, along with expected costs. This is, of courrse, excluding the costs of labor," she mumbles, her tails swaying behind her and her ears flicking again. "However... Flora will have to ask miss Kalt to follow Flora off of the ground, as Flora is growing quite tired... Unless, of course, Miss Kalt has urgent questions.

Kalt nods gently to Flora as she takes in the combined prices and does a bit of addition before clearing her throat. "... Right then... If'n it'd not be too terrible to ask, I'd like to go an' have'em made... Just in case M'needin' them sometime." The Vixen moving to follow flora as she continues to ask just a additional question. "How long you figure it'd take for makin' one an' all?"

"Flora isn't sure... Flora can... Involve the production-line to make it faster, though for a single arm, it'd be slower, probably... Flora should have the first one... Maybe halfway into the week, Florra thinks."

Kalt:gives a quick nod, and follows Flora through the manor when she was ready, not keen on keeping the tigress up much longer!
