*Jeckle lowers the glasses again and watches Shroud with impassive eyes and when he's finished .. motions for him to kiss her butt and pushes the glasses back up. 'you'd have to catch him first. he's faster than me and more sneaky. sides, might do you some good to get some exercise. now, we done biting at each other or have another round? we'll leave it as 'tolerating each other'. k? .. you like me cause i can make the toys you want built. i like the challenge building them. so toleration works for me .. for you too? good'
*the glasses slide back up again. whether she's become prickly from lack of sleep or if she's finally exerting her own personality is unknown. but she does have a sharp tongue and isn't afraid to use it. as far as she's concerned, this is the end of the conversation.

" It's worked so far." Khris shrugged with a smirk, agreeing to the truce.

Dante shakes his head as he listens to the two of them. He sits back and waits to see what the boss decides.

*Jeckle looks at Dante now and then back to Tiger 'afternoon sir .. did you have a restful morning nap? seems my tent guard snores horribly at the door. kept me awake even when i needed sleep. sorry if i'm a little testy or short tempered now'
*she gives a brief smile and then covers her yawn while she waits

Dante laughs and says, "I don't snore, and I don't really sleep, I trance out."

Steelfist approaches the gathered group, saluting Tiger. "Commander." Looking at the others he says nothing for a moment. "I have been officially reassigned directly under your command Ma'am." *his mechanical voice showing no emotion*

*Jeckle looks at Shroud and shakes her head 'nah .. i don't see him as the Tinman you've described .. maybe a roboman .. but not everyone is lucky to recover with skin and have a nurse that cares. his name .. not mine. i'm Jeckle. i make the toys and one of the newest ring bearer clan. any reason that bint would assume she was gonna die when her ring beast was killed?'

"As far as Tinman or Roboman goes. Neither of those are my name. I am called Steelfist." *glancing at the one she indicated as Shroud but saying nothing he turns his gaze back to the one addressing him. "I do not know why she would act that way, Miss Jeckle."

' .. k .. i stand corrected. you are known as Steelfist' the head shifts slightly to keep everyone inside the scope of her immediate field of view. her face seems to loose its humour as she focuses now on recording the meeting. 'oh .. and the only note to change for you Steelfist. Tiger's the lady here. just call me Jeckle and we'll be fine'

Nodding, "As you wish Jeckle." *his mechanical voice sounding completely emotionless and cold as always.

8Jeckle simply nods and maintains her focus. the conversation still recorded. with all its complaining and bickering. she knows she's female, but thats as far as it will ever go for her. she'ld rather build things than deal with people. she was never a people person. machines never lied to her. they worked or they didn't. people lie all the time and she can't be bothered with them most times now.
*she's counting her blessings that they are still on the ground and not in the air.

" Welcome to the insanity, Steelfist." Khris said, pulling out his sunglasses and and mp3 headphones. Putting them on, he yawned, " Someone wake me when we're ready to go, Jeckle's not the only one lacking sleep ." He smirked slightly, directed at Tiger, then leaned back in his seat.

"Er, right," Tiger mumbles. "Don't worry, I'll see to it you all get your rest. Before that, do any of you have any thoughts on how to proceed? Ideas or plans? Or questions besides Jeckle's? That is a good one by the way - I'm really not sure why she would think that...."

' .. one of the things i was thinking about while the guard was snoring. just one among a few. another was .. that was 2 of the missing *insert number*, and the woman said that she'd done in others or something. she implied it, so how many were murdered? which led me to think if the dragon was poisoned, would the bond between wearer and beast be stronger for some? had more, but i think i'll be thinking them over for while.
'which leads me to ask Steelfist here how much is inorganic with you?' sorry if its personal. it might lend a factor in the damage ratio'

"I don't think she meant you were snoring," Tiger said reassuringly to Dante, "She meant after she got back this morning and before she came here."
"All good points. So the snake was pretty big, and the dragon got bigger after the snake was defeated - so could the answer be that defeating other creatures makes them stronger?" Tiger frowns as if this idea is distasteful. All of the tamers of creatures that she knows of are in this room - surely her father would have thought to have his minions fight each other. Just to be clear, "Fighting amongst ourselves can't be the right answer. Its too easy, it would have been tried already, but that doesn't mean fighting at some point isn't right. After all, the woman did not die, so it wouldn't fall outside the parameters we were given."
"Other ideas?"
