<strong>Maximillian Guntherstadt -- Commons Room -- Hungry after all</strong><br/><br/>Now the casing was off, Max found he had distressingly little to do. After cleaning off the boards and swapping out the old punch cards, which took considerably less time and effort than he'd anticipated, Max replaced the shell and found himself without any further excuses to decline Miss MacNally's attractive offer. He was packing his tools away again when a small piece of cork ricocheted off the wall in front of him with a thick *pop* and bounced into his shoulder.<br/><br/>"<em>Was die Holle..</em>.?" Max picked up the miniature missile and rolled it over in his fingers, the smell of alcohol still slightly pungent in the soft wood. After a moment he shrugged and tossed it aside, and was about to slip out of the room when he realized Miss Beatrice was addressing him again.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=89547.msg3988910#msg3988910">Quote from: Sasha on 08-12-2010, 06:34:42</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>" Max ...I would much appreciate it if you would come sits down and stop working ....and partake of this devil spirits with me and eat some Food .

"Very well,<em>fraulein</em>. If you are certain you desire ze company, who am I to refuse a lady?" He took a seat to her left and set himself a place, careful to keep his brass arm squarely in his lap out of sight. He had no wish to ruin the young woman's appetite after her kind invitation.
