Lulu carefully places Rin on the floor, smiling politely while waiting for Rin to build the robo-squirrel
You find us funny, do you not? A source of amusement. Is that not so? With our pretty clothes, and our convoluted circumlocutions and our little silliness of manner and behavior. And perhaps we are funny... But you must never imagine, that just because something is funny,it is not dangerous.
Rin's ears flattened back, her eyes sharp. She eyed Titus up and down.
"Because, I need to get to know you for one, and for two, business should be spoken with MORE PEOPLE who know of your profession, and the like. I need more information. This is my hangar.. my HOME. If you wish to speak more about it, we shall finish our business here and continue this discussion LATER. The last thing I need to have under my conscious is having you cause a stupid war that then is blamed on Piltover and so on and so forth."
She flipped her hair again irritatingly before giving off a long sigh and bringing back a smile.
"Lets do business later. Again, this is my home. I have much to discuss with you on such larger terms. It will be much faster if you and Lulu help me with my projects at hand."
She eyed to the large yellow robot before her, then to the blueprints for robo squirrel on the table.
"Both can be accomplished today if you both help me. Do you have a basic knowledge of parts, you two?"
For such a confident admiral, Titus easily got intimidated by Rin. The word "war" has Titus sweating for many reasons, one is obviously that he's an admiral. But he's more agitated in losing another opportunity to have a real friend, especially a friend that either doesn't die in battle or develops post traumatic stress disorder. And he doesn't want to give Rin anymore trouble.
"I-I-I'm really sorry, Rin! I-I-I won't mention it again...uhh...uhh...I'm really...uh...sorry...and...Iwon'tmentionitagainsorryaboutthat..."
He takes a deep breath to stop his stammering before calming himself down...just a bit.
"I can...uhh...try to help! I've...fixed my own telescope!"
After a few good minutes of staring at the stammering Titus, Rin busted out into laughter.
"Relax, relax dear! It's just paper work and such... and making sure that if we do go along with this and I help you find someone, that it isn't linked back to Piltover and/or Bandle city for aiding anything. Any time you have more than X ships, it can start a "war".... we have a paper trail we have to go through for the Festival of Flight every year.... Political mumbo-jumbo, you know, to make sure no one gets in trouble or starts any more of a fuss than there already is..."
"The Great Summoners forbid we have another rune war, you know? Plus I'm much like my boss. I don't like the idea of battle ships and what have you... we do what we do to help TRY to keep the peace... even at our own risk."
She laughed heartily again, scratching a portion behind her ear before pulling her vibrant yellow goggles down over her eyes. After adjusting it a moment or two, she pointed down towards his foot where a wrench lay near.
Titus blushes as Rin bursts into laughter. He shyly smiles a little.
"Uh...hahaha...yea..."
He grabs the wrench and hands it to Rin.
"Well I'm using those airships for studies. If I was an admiral...WHICH I'M NOT...then I would use it to defend. But I'm using airships to get rid of...pollution...not good for people everywhere...might arm them for defense buuut that's it..."

Jon decided to pay a visit to Heimerdinger's assistant, and so came to the hangar, carrying a small packet of papers with him. His Options also floated behind him, and upon arrival moved upwards, so as to give him more room.
Standing outside, he elected to simply wait for the assistant to be available.
"There's only one thing that I know for sure is true: 'Truth is relative.'" -Jon
"What side you're on isn't of concern to me. What is of concern is that you're hurt, and I need to treat you for it." -Jon
"Contrary to what some believe, violence does not solve everything. In fact, it solves nothing." -Jon
"No no! Blitzy, Don't worry about it. We'll have you up and working in a jippy."
Rin immediately got to work. A wrench here, a screw driver there, a whatzamajiggypuller there, and an assortment of other odd tools. She worked quickly, asking for tools now and again from Lulu and Titus. Before long, she had him opened up, oiled, squeaky clean, steam rolling. With a final slam of his chest plate closed, re-locking the bolts in, she patted him on his shoulders.
"All righty then, I'm sorry about the wait Blitz! We'll have to catch up some time. I'll have to come watch you on the fields when my boss is about! Take care!"
She brushed her self from head to toe, taking an old rag and cleaning her hands off of the oil and debris.
"Now then... You're still more than welcome to follow us around if you wish, Blitz. I'll be making a robo-squirrel now... Titus, after this is done, there's a cafe down the road we can discuss more of this. You still need to help me."
Rin dug through a few boxes that lay crooked and off to the side. She cursed slightly as she dug, throwing things and bits and bobs here and there. After some digging, a rough, oddly mouse shaped, but completely scrapped metal was procured from the shadows.
"Here we are.. I knew I still had this. This'll be the main frame. I can just get it running, then add the extra nicer shell later to make it look more squirrel like. I tried making myself a little mouse partner once, just for fun.. but I got busy with other projects, like my glider!"
She set the disjointed metal mouse puppet onto the ground and walked a few circles around it. Tapping her foot. she listed off materials she would need.
"Mana core, operation chip, about 14 servos, exhaust manifold, optic wires..." Half way through her list, she began to subconsciously gather her items. As she wandered, she noticed a shadow outside the door again. Curious, she shouted out to the suspicious other person.
"Hello, if anyone is out there, please come in! We have plenty of guests at the moment."
She turned on heel, her hands full up to her nose with parts.
"RIGHT! Whose ready to make a robo squirrel?!" Even though it couldn't be seen, her smile was HUGE and mischievous behind the pile of parts she held. Her eyes glimmered with her excitement as well. She LOVED inventing odd little things, and this was going to be FUN!

Jon heard himself being called in, and decided to step inside. Seeing the amount of people in here, however, he decided to just stand there, waiting for the assistant to be available, before speaking.
"There's only one thing that I know for sure is true: 'Truth is relative.'" -Jon
"What side you're on isn't of concern to me. What is of concern is that you're hurt, and I need to treat you for it." -Jon
"Contrary to what some believe, violence does not solve everything. In fact, it solves nothing." -Jon
((Sorry again guys.. thanks for being patient with me! Been a busy week ><))
Rin's smile widened as she held up the frame for the robo squirrel.
"ALL RIGHT! Let's do this! Erm... mister mysterious man, feel free to say.. hi? The name is Rin, pleasure to meet ya!"
It was odd to have a human at her shop, let alone one so decorated... and QUIET. It made her a tad uneasy, but she quickly ignored it for her exciting new project.
Barking commands to Blitzcrank, Titus, and Lulu, Rin had everyone in goggles in minutes as she blasted and torched and wrenched and tinkered. It was loud, hard work, and the noise was there to be just as obnoxious.
"Blitz, flip that table back over! Good! Titus, Wrench! Lulu, fork! Yes, fork, hey don't look at me like that! Crank, gimme that up on the top shelf, the funky one.. yep, that's the spanner! Okay! Titus, see that scraps there? GOOD! Yes!"
A broom thump from up stairs could be heard after some time.
"Sorry, Mr. Bigglesbe! We'll be done soon!" Rin looked out to see dusk was approaching. No wonder why he was angry. Her upstairs neighbor had to sleep early.
"We gotta kick it up, guys!" She exclaimed, her grin never fading as she ran around her shop. What excitement! If she could pull this squirrel off in just one day with all this help, she'd be in good standings to finish her glider soon, too! And then, she could test it for the festival of flight!
((Heard you got that special box from Riot! Congrats!))
As soon Rin spat out commands to Titus, the yordle admiral gets up to his feet and scrambles to find the wrench that's somewhere in the hanger. The noise, orders from Rin, and tables toppled has Titus chortling in his mind. Ironic for an admiral to be commanded by a mechanic.
He runs around for a moment before stopping and searching everywhere for a wrench. Finding it is going to be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Coincidentally, he's right next to the scraps and when Rin calls out for Titus to get it, he points to it. "This one, Rin!?" he hollers out, which Rin responds "GOOD! Yes!"
He picks it up one by one and under the pile of junk is a wrench which Titus was looking for. But his hands are full and he levitates the wrench in front of his face. Then he slowly walks back to Rin and says, "Everything's here! Ya might wanna use these now...it's getting a bit heavy!" Titus' knees are shaky and it seems that it's ready to buckle. The scraps are unusually heavy!

Lulu listens to every word Rin shouts at her and responds accordingly, a huge smile on her face as the Robo-Squirrel was being built.
Sooooo...WHAT did you SAY this squirrel CAN DO again??
