He just gave her an amused grin. "And yet Aurelia is getting the statue for her hoard. I am sure she appreciates your critique of her artwork. Even if it IS ugly as the original sin."<br/><br/>He sat down at the table, letting the dragons take the more comfortable bed, and spread the cloth over the table top, and placing the tools carefully on it in front of him. He then placed the statue so that it faced away from him, letting him work along its 'spine,' so not to damage anything more than he had too. He then carefully began cutting squares out of the statue, the statue having somewhat high grade gold, which would give to pressure but it took some, unlike the plastic under it. Or so he hoped. Even so, he was quite careful with the dagger, knowing it would just as easily damage the plastic of the tablet as it would the gold, but likely would take more pressure, due to gold being quite soft.<br/><br/>He planned to cut out the top enough to remove the tablet out of the top, and then he would place gold coins in the cavity, before replacing the gold sections that had been removed.
