Wind-up Mammets

Subject: Wind-up Mammets
Warnings: None save for it being the spoopy time of year
[ Greetings, Escordvi. It's your resident recluse, sorcerer, and magitech tinkerer, Emet-Selch. He has two mechanical figures on display in front of him, about the size of one's open hand: a bluebird and a tortoise. The bluebird goes through the motions of pecking at the ground strutting a few steps whilst the tortoise ambles at a more sedate pace. ]
As All Hallow's Eve is approaching, so too does the end of the year. I've developed these mammets lately together with the clockmakers of the Forge. Should you wish to commission a gift, I suggest you do so sooner rather than later.
[ The bird and tortoise abruptly go scattering as a copper, clockwork T-rex jumps on to the table and begins playfully snapping at them. ]

[ She picks up a piece of fruit from a bowl in her room causing Patricia to stir and hop to her flippers. She does indeed bark to voice what she wants. ]
Here you go.
[ Patricia catches the fruit it in her mouth as it's tossed her way. After gobbling it down, she responds with a short string of barks. ]
What? No I'm not telling him that.
[ The sand seal huffs and flops back down in her bed, proceeding to clap her flippers as promised. Riju simply shakes her head, turning back to Emet. ]
Does that suffice for your needs?

Ah, she can understand speech, can she? I must apologise. But yes, that is certainly enough.
[ He doesn't write this time but takes out...a small crystal? And concentrates on it for a few seconds before putting it down. ]
I can make the mammet's casing out of ceramic or metal. Ceramic will allow for a more realistic facade but is of course a touch more fragile. Metal will be more costly due to its scarcity. What is your preference?
[ A thing with delicate moving parts is going to be somewhat prone to breakage anyway, but it's up to her! ]
