fac-machinam:

What was this? Someone interested in her work? That was a new one. Naumi raised an eyebrow as he walked past her unenchanted golems and hanging tools, brushing his fingers across them— damn him, stop that, it was bothering her! “I’ll tell you so long as you stop touching those,” she growled, quickly walking over to smack his hands away from the displays. “These are golems that I built out of steel and brass— of course, they could also be homunculi, if only my seller didn’t get in trouble.” Naumi’s right hand started to wave a bit while she talked on, transgression momentarily forgotten. “Right now they’re unenchanted, and can’t do anything, because they aren’t animated. I lifted the enchantments to try new ones. If you don’t touch them, I can show you how I do it. Do you want to see?”

A slightly brighter expression appeared on her face; she was quite happy someone asked her about her golems— they were her pride and joy, after all. Golems, homunculi, and all manner of animation and enchantment are her specialties, one of the things she enjoys best and loves to read about. But how quickly she recalled that this stranger was interrupting her work time, and should honestly only come in when the door says that she’s taking visitors— that’s what she put the sign up for, anyway.

“But afterwards, you should leave, I don’t like strangers in my workshop, and you’re most definitely a stranger.”

This had been the first time Rail had seen creation such
as this before.  There  was  something  interesting about 
them,  allowing  emerald  hues to focus on them and the
various tools left unattended on the wall.  Was  she  the 
one that had created these things? Rare as it was, Rail’s
head seemed to cant in genuine interest, though he soon
pulled his hand away sharply  from  what  he  had  been
touching at the snappish words the girl spoke, head then
turning in her direction as brows rose upwards. Ohhh –
so she’d tell him if he’d be a good boy? He could do that!

All for the sake of feeding his interest, of course.

“If the lady says so, I suppose I will~” Rail hummed out
childishly, forgetting about touching the various things in
the room in favor of stepping closer to the girl as she thus
began to explain what those things were. Hmm, GOLEMS,
she said? Enchanted? Was he  left  to  assume  that  this
place that he landed on relied on some sort  of  magic  in 
the manner that his own city relied on the technology he
handled so well?

“I want to see! It sounds intriguing– Where I come from,
I actually do the same thing, you know! Only with some-
thing more human-made compared to this…” He’d have
to ask her a bit about that at some point in this conversation
as well, yes.

“Yes!! I’d love to see how your creations work!” Seeing how
she seemed to light up at the possibility of talking about her
work, he couldn’t bring himself to say no. After all, Rail could
definitely understand that. He was the very same way with 
his own research.

Not that he’d say anything about leaving afterwards, nope.
