He completely missed the tone as he stood up, idly noting the spreading ice from where the spear had hit. "Almost always. When I have the time and resources to make something worthwhile."<br/><br/>He pulled a small scope from his backpack, and focused on the wall for a moment, before nodding to himself. "About nine to ten feet radius on the frost zone. Good for providing a non-damaging barrier, or slowing a larger opponent."<br/><br/>He turned and gave her a quick bow. "And sadly, I have to get back and see if I can cobble something together for Jackie for the mission, much as I am loathe to leave you already. Promise you won't hold it against me?"<br/><br/>He turned and jogged off, heading back to the hanger he had taken over, already on a communication device, arguing with the minions about materials to get ready, even as she answered. His urge to create something had struck hard, and the need to get Jackie something for the upcoming 'mission' overrode his desire to stay and play.
