"Oh, a new employee? Perfect! I've been searching for them ever since I've been expanding. It's so hard to manage this entire thing."

*Hu Lang has a smug grin on her face once Sirdan winks at her, then turns around to go prepare the food.*

"For sure. I'm just glad it doesn't go to my stomach much. Unlike some other people I've seen."

"What are... Nevermind. That sounds like something I probably will never understand."

*The trinket was mesmerizing in how it functioned, despite doing almost literally nothing. It just looked cool.*

"Aw, it broke. I wonder, what else can you make that uses that?"

_Almann scratches his chin for a moment and thinks. These trinkets are the only ones that use sophisticated magical technology, the others just use basic commands and movements to work. These little keepsake cubes were one of a kind._

"The others I make aren't nearly as complicated and don't break like this one, the magic used for them isn't that complicated either..."

_He pulls out what looks to be a spinning bronze top with a strange shape (see below). The thing looks exceptionally top heavy for a top to the untrained eye, perhaps even unable to stand on uneven and rough terrain and falling down with the lightest touch or burst of wind. The top itself took the form of a four pointed star on a spike, with silver layers and a silver hat on top of it._

"This thing spins so long as fire or heat is near. It converts the magical energy around it into energy to use for spinning. Doesn't take much at all really. A steaming plate of food, or a candle will do."

_He lights a small fire at the tip of his right finger, using the left to get it started spinning. The top immediately begins to spin in place, completely maintaining it's balance._

"The coolest thing about this isn't even the fact that it spins on it's own for an indefinite amount of time, but that it can correct itself if bumped into..."

_Almann proceeds to poke the top with his left finger, causing it to list and move a little bit to the side before correcting itself and spinning in place once more._

"There's a limit to this though, I can't use this sort of magic on anything but small objects, and if you disturb it violently enough, it does fall over. The effective range of the magic is 25 centimeters at most as well."

*As Almann pulls out what looks like a spinning bronze top, Katherine's expression is that of confusion and awe. This was going into territory she was completely new in.*

"What is 'kinetic energy'? Does it spin faster with a hotter heat source? Let me try."

*Katherine extends her left hand close to the top, and the metallic gauntlet ignites in blue flame. She's careful not to set anything else on fire though.*

"They might be useful in certain situations which require... Spinning. I guess."
