'Smash smash smash' is heard along the main concourse, a small crowd the only folks around save a small clan rabbit, chasing after a golem. "C'mon now! Please!" he says as he tries to think of how to solve the problem, a large, heavy golem bearing massive daggers along it's back, is roaming about causing quite the mess. The city guard are corralling a few of the more foolish onlookers, as they cry out "Come on Kid get it under control or we have to take care of it ourselves."
Eleni arrives from the academy district, fully armed and armored after whatever it was she was doing. Taking a moment to survey the mess the golem's caused, momentarily gripping her sword before she moves over to a guard. "Might haveta take a look at this a bit closer. Ya mind?" She asks, heavily implying that 'no' isn't an answer she' willing to accept.
Mirana walked along the concourse, mostly aimlessly, when she hears the banging going on. She looks up and only just moves out of the way as the golem does along. She yips out a bit and looks around, "What.. what is going on?" She asks, then notices Eleni and blinks a few times. She walks over to him, thinking it safer. The only real change to her usual dress is a circlet that is under the cowl, "Umm, hello?" she says cautiously. Shaking her head she tries to stand a bit taller and clears her throat, "What is happening here?" She says after getting herself a bit more in the stature she was used to being in.
Cedric heard the banging of the golem and the calls of the small clan rabbit chasing after it from down the concourse, himself. He'd decided to take a detour on his way out of town to check out all the commotion, and steps up behind the crowd equipped with his plate armor and hefting an ornate spear over his shoulder carefully, making sure not to put out the eyes of any larger beings as he tries to get through the crowd to see what's happening.
The guard look over Eleni and one sighs, finally saying "We warned you, if you think you can help go on ahead but don't blame us if you get hurt." Mirana, and Cedric are given glances but nothing more as a beaver in the crowd calls out "C'mon! Just junk it and get on with the day." A few of the crowd members agree with him, some of them make mutters and shake their head. The golem goes about it's merry business, completely ignoring it's master, as it makes its way over towards the marketplace. The small clan rabbit closes in but shakes his head, pulling back as the golem stops abruptly and he almost plows into it's sharp back. "Why don't you listen?! WE JUST repaired you, Perry and I did the best job! Come on you relic listen!"
Eleni nods back to the guards, helmet likely causing her to miss the arrival of Mirana through protracting her vision. "Stop treating the damn thing like it's a person, for one." the androgynous fennec calls out, making her way over to the golem, taking her shield off her back, readying herself as she mutters something under her breath along the lines of 'Bloody children and their toys...'
Mirana watches the golem continue along then just stop. She tilts her head wondering a moment, but then holds back a whimper as it feels like a small fire starts in her skull. Holding her head a moment she looks over to Eleni again, "Excuse me! I asked if you knew what was going on here!" she says a bit loudly, though it is obvious by now what is happening. She shakes her pounding head and look perhaps for someone she knew. Sighing she looks to the Rabbit, "I don't know much about golems really, but if they are anything like the divine gifts of our creators, maybe you should try appeasing it? I have a little machine spirit that seems to like being kicked..." she notes to him.
Cedric doesn't say a word as he approaches the guards in his armor and hefting his spear. He just inclines his head and walks past them to get a better look at this golem.
The rabbit looks back at Eleni and grumbles. "Sorry Ma.. ma'am? I'm just... nevermind. YOu're right." he says as he stops and tries to really focus on the mathmatics involved, the golem coming to a halt briefly before it pivots on it's limb and leans down towards the small clanner, just before... flicking them once. Cedric is allowed to pass without incident, and Mirana is given a couple troubled glances, most of all from the flicked rabbit who holds his forehead and says "WHAT?! Kick a golem?" as though it were an outrageous idea.
Eleni looks back over her shoulder to Mirana for a moment as the situation - at least temporarily - defuses itself. "Girl, ya have eyes. And the guards are right there." She says sternly before turning back to the rabbit. "Ya know ya aren't in a position ta complain with the suggestion, don't ya kid? Ya just chased after ya golem as though asking it politely ta stop was going ta help. Probably for longer than I've been here. Wise up." She chides. "If ya can't keep ya golem in check I suggest ya practice more before ya cause more damage."
Mirana looks very indignately to Eleni, "And you'd do better to watch that tongue!" she announces to him, but then turns more to the problem at hand, "And, as I said before, Golems may be different, but anything is worth a try." That is when she spots someone snickering in the crowd. She tries to think a moment, but the only thing that comes to her aching head is that this might be the cause of it. Unsure of if she herself would be able to catuch up to and keep hold of them should they run, she whispers to the nearest guard, "By my house and position as a retired Captain, I ask you to look into that bandicoot, I can't be sure, but there is something amiss." she says, then, she herself tries to approch as well.
The armored badger lifts the visor of his helm and glances down at the small hare, not saying a word as he looks from the golem artisan, to the golem itself, and then to the snickering bandicoot. He lets out a little sigh and sizes up the golem for a moment or two. It seems like, at least for right now, he doesn't get to pry it apart by force to see what's inside. Finally, Cedric just raises his unarmed hand and gives a friendly wave. "Hello. So... tell me, is your big friend here going to stay asleep?"
The guard whispered to moves along the crowd at the request, seeing no reason not to tame that portion of the crowd as well. The golem pushes down the rabbit then moves to head towards the market before it stops suddenly, the small clan hare standing and shaking his head. "I can! I did it all day yesterday, everything was fine until he got here... it got here!" They look frustrated. The bandicoot stops snickering and comes to attention, giving a tilt of their head to the left before saying "Can I help you folks?" The golem becomes responsive to the hare's latest attempt, before he grumbles and sighs. "See! Like that!" he finally decides to exclaim. The bandicoot glances over at the commotion caused by the rabbit, and the golem pushes them down once more very suddenly. This causes the bandicoot to snicker once more.
Eleni rolls her eyes. "A'course, kid. Ya said you and some other person patched ya toy up, think this'd be below 'em? 'M not going ta pretend I know how ya pile a' bolts works, but if ya friend wanted to I don't doubt he could make something else of it." She suggests, thoroughly unimpressed. Turning back to the guards and Mirana, she shrugs. "Right girl. Ya have my attention. Who are ya and why should I care? Make it fast." She demands in a manner befitting military, for better or worse.
