If there is anyone with a penchant for feet who would take this ridiculous toe ring off my hands then I would be much obliged.

Which is why I try to dive and make penguins as much as I can. If I ever feel stressed, I try to indulge in my hobbies...

[emet_sulk]

An artist, are you? Why penguins in particular?

[scooba]

No, I'm more of a diver.

As for the penguins, it's something that came to me. I just find them interesting and they remind of fairytales.

[emet_sulk]

I thought you said you MAKE penguins?

How are you making them if not through some creative pursuit?

[scooba]

Through metal and other machine parts I can find.

That's not a bad thing, is it...?

[emet_sulk]

No, I simply failed to understand what you meant. My apologies.

You must be quite the skilled engineer then to create functional mechanical creatures. Have you been assisting in the development of magitech?

[scooba]

Uh...I want to. I made a penguin before here but that was because I was curious...

As for magitech, I kind of want to but...I have to admit, I'm not the best with all these new technology...

[emet_sulk]

Forget the magic part of it - you know enough to make your creatures, yes? That in itself would be helpful.

I would like to see one of your penguins sometime.

[scooba]

Uh...well, I have Pers with me.

Do you want to see him?

[With that, he quickly sent over a picture of him holding his mechanical penguin]

[emet_sulk]

[ Oh no, that's adorable. ]

Well now, what a well-made little thing. What powers it?

[scooba]

Mostly through circuit boards by means of electricity. Sometimes, it works and other times, it doesn't but I managed to make Pers through trial and error...

[emet_sulk]

Could it be due to a lack of stable power generation? Are you not using a battery?

[scooba]

There is. It took a while as I was trying to figure out how to make something so complex…

To be honest, I think I might be the only one who does something like that in Teyvat.

[emet_sulk]

I could examine it in-person and see if I'm able to stabilise its power source, if you're willing.

[scooba]

Wait, right now?

Uh..care to tell me where you are and you can take a look at Pers in person...?

[emet_sulk]

I did not mean right this moment, no. But if you're willing to meet then I can teleport to the nearest port convenient to you.

[scooba]

That's fine just uh...

Don't expect much. I'm not the best person to talk to in person...

[emet_sulk]

Neither am I. I shan't take it personally if you remain mute.

Shall we meet at Eltrut then?

[scooba]

Yes, that's fine.

Look for a boy with short blond hair and that should be me.

[emet_sulk]

I look like an older man with white and brown hair and a pearl-like 'eye' in their forehead.

[ He will be waiting somewhere suitably public. Like a central plaza or near the docks. ]

[scooba]

font face=courier>Okay, I'll see you then.

[With that, off Freminet went! Should he look around, he'll keep his eyes out for a man with those characteristics. Although, at the same time, he also wanted to keep a low profile.

After all, it was already awkward just sitting around and looking for someone out in public...]

[emet_sulk]

[ Emet-Selch, for his part, keeps an eye out for a blond boy and mechanical penguin. It doesn't take him long to identify them and he strolls over with a little wave. ]

Hello. Might you be the boy who makes penguins? I'm afraid I forgot to ask your name.

[scooba]

[The moment that Freminet saw the tall and scary man, he had to stare at him. While it wasn't for long, it just served as a reminder that there was still a lot of things he didn't know about this world...]

Uh...y-yes, my name is Freminet. It's really nice to meet you in person. I uh....

[emet_sulk]

[ Ah. The boy is timid. He had suspected that might be the case when they warned him of being difficult to talk to. Maybe it's his height. That does tend to be the most obvious source of intimidation...

After a quick glance around to make sure no-one (he knows) is watching, he carefully sinks to one knee so they're more at eye-level. ]

I am Emet-Selch. You said your little mechanical friend was Pers, correct?

[scooba]

[Freminet was intimidated by a lot of people. Not to mention that he has no idea what to expect when talking to this mysterious man in person. However, as he kneeled on to eye-level, the blond had to take a step back.

It was one thing to see a tall scary man but it was another to see him on the same level as he was.]

Yes, that is correct. And um...

[He said before looking at said mechanical penguin in his arms. Without another word, he gave Pers to Emet-Selch to see what he would say.] What do you think?
