You know, Rix really liked pie. Pie was delicious, from the soft pastry at the bottom to the sweet fruit filling, to the flaky crust on top. It was especially good with cream; She had only had that delight once before, and it's stuck with her ever since. What was it? It was an apple pie, or perhaps peach. hard to tell, fresh fruit isn't especially common in any part of Numeria. Briefly, Rix wondered if Val Baine had any pie behind the counter. No, probably not; It doesn't seem it would keep well. Maybe a meat pie>? Or a shepherds pie? Did they really qualify as pie at all? They both sounded delightful as well. That must be one of the truisms of the world; pie is delicious. She's sure her companions already know of this important fact, so it would be redundant to share it with them. The lingering taste of the nuts made her wonder if a nut pie were possible. Would it be soft in the center as a pie should, or would it be crisp all the way through? Maybe someday she will find out, and share it with her friends. That seems like the sort of knowledge that might not be common, and certainly worth sharing. yes sir; Pie is delicious.<br/><br/>Of course this entire internal monologue only takes a bare second for her, and leaves her companions none the wiser. Good thing too, because suddenly ROBOT!<br/><br/>Rix bounds backwards, toppling her chair with a loud kerthump, a pair of blades appearing in her hands. She gave Drazzek a look. "It's not a dog. It's one of those...<em>things</em>." Her tongue brushes along the lowermost of her whiskers as she considers - It's not attacking, which is... unusual.. "Probably the one Khonnir dug up from the caves. Give Rix a second." She scampers towards the thing, in a roundabout way, her weapons held ready just in case, as she looks over the thing for a way to get it to stop working without chopping it to pieces.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Actions</div><div class="spoiler_body">I'm going to use a Knowledge: Engineering to identify the thing (Yay Technologist feat!) and to see if there's an "off switch."
