A soft rumble, a small smile, and Flora rests herself in her private corner of the gardens, tails swaying lightly as she looks at the thermometer in front of her again, silently, and with a small smile on her snout as she waits for Sara.
Eventually Sara makes her way into the garden, the lizard currently wearing a heavy leather apron overtop her old tatty clothing and a large smith's hammer hoisted atop her shoulder. "Mm?" Sara mumbles as her crimson-gaze looks over the garden before falling upon Flora. After a brief wave to the tigress Sara makes her way to Flora, "You called for me, miss Flora?"
Another smile, and a faint nod as the guards allow Sara to pass and take a seat opposite to Flora. Silently, she shuffles a letter over towards Sara, rumbling lightly.
The letter feels heavy, and several coins appear to be inside of the envelope as well, along with a slip of paper of sorts.
Flora nods towards the letter, urging Sara to open it, before leaning back again.
Giving each guard a nod in both greeting, and thanks Sara makes her way to the gestured seat and with a heavy 'clunk' sets the forging mallet aside. With her hands now emptied, the lizard eases herself down onto the bench and first reach towards the thermometer, as she takes it in her hand and looks it over she muses to herself, "Huh.. is this the piece of metal I showed you a couple days ago?" before grinning warmly and looking up from the piece, "How'd that work out anyways?" After looking it over, Sara sets it aside and reaches to the envelope next. Noticing the odd weight to it Sara looks over Flora though doesn't say a word, instead she opens the envelope up, empties the coins from inside, and begins reading the letter.
"This is a different piece of metal. Miss Sara's discovery has led to a new product in a short timespan. Flora is... Somewhat surprised Miss Sara doesn't know. Flora did send a memo."
"In either case. That is miss Sara's part of the profit, yes," she rumbles with a smile, a flick of her ears. "Or rather, the bonus Miss Sara is getting for the discovery. There will be another similar one later this year if sales keep up, but only two for each discovery," she murrs with a smile, a flick of her ears.
The letter appears to be... Another contract? A quick skim over the contract would reveal it to be an offer... For knighthood?
Along with the offer, it denotes all things expected of a knight, among which support for the house and respectable behavior are the most prominent points. In exchange, knights are officially considered to be members of the house, and as such, get recognition as, in this case, a Longtail.
After pocketing the few coins Sara grins warmly to herself and mentions, "Guess I could get used to this.." before looking to her employer once more, this time with a confused expression, "Memo? Huh.. guess I didn't catch it.." though she does end up shrugging casually and letting it go before looking to the note. Giving it a brief skim at first, and then reading it again, this time more thoroughly, each ending in the same way, a surprised expression, and the words, "W-wait.. y.. you want me.." she asks before pressing her free hand to her chest, ".. to become a knight of House Longtail?"
"Miss Sara has provided a valuable contribution to LongTech Industries and House Longtail. IF Miss Sara wants, Flora can bestow the title of Dame to Miss Sara... Dame Sara, in that case, yes."
"Miss Sara should keep in mind that the other side of the family would... Not approve. Friend Sveta's injury are proof of this. So this is not a choice that should be made lightly, no... If miss Sara accepts, miss Sara should sign the file and deliver it to Flora's desk. Flora will hanedle all the paperwork, yes."
"Mm.. Dame Sara.." the lizard mumbles to herself as she stares off into space, thinking about the possibilities it would open up. Though it doesn't last long before she snaps back into reality and remembers just what happened to Sveta, "Hm.." she begins, her face contorting into something of a disturbed quality. "I suppose they would offer a bit of a difficulty. But nothing good comes without their.. hardships.." giving the paperwork one last look over, she pulls one of the fancy pens from her satchel and signs her name on the line and states, "If they decide to attack out of petty vengeance, they'll most likely find they're going to get more than they had bargained for.." With that all said and done, Sara holds the paperwork out to the tigress and says, "I will do my best to hold LongTech Industries' goals close to my heart, Miss Flora."
Flora nods and smiles, her tails flicking lightly behind her. "That will be all then, Dame Sara Longtail," the she-cat rumbles with a smile, before flicking her ears lightly. "Remember. Sweetwater watches. Do not bring shame to the house," the she-cat rumbles, already pulling out her next stack of paperwork and research-papers...
Sara almost seems to puff her chest out and surge with pride as she's called 'Dame', her tail swishing happily all the while. "Yes, I shall hold myself in a.. polite sense. I would rather not see what would happen should I betray your trust." she finishes by standing up from her seat and bowing at the waist. "I trust that will be all? Or do you have more to speak of?" she asks as she raises back up.
Of course, Flora is already reading through her papers, engrossed in her work. Indeed, it appears that will be all, and Sara is soon escorted out of the alcove as three beings from the lab come to have another talk with her of sorts.
The contents no longer recognizable, and the feline would soon disappear from sight as well while Sara moves away.
