Chapter 1: Scene 5A: Old Contacts
Hunter smiled at the mouseling. "Excellent, I will be there presently."
A short time later, strange muffled noises were coming from a small room off to the side.
"Ouch. Watch what you're doing, you clumsy oaf. "
Thump. Bang.
" No, you've got it upside down. Look, I'll show you again. See, they've got arming points, these tie on to these jack chains. And the other end of the chains goes to this splinted pad, that's the vambrace, see, hey are you even paying attention? Wait, what are you doing? Stop that! Stop that!"
"Shiny."
"Yeah, but you can't pull the rivets out! They are the only thing holding it together!"
"Shiny."
"No! NO! Stop eating it!"
Thwack!
"HOOooWwwOoRRRoooLLL!"
Clonk
"Ow! Owowow! Shit! Don't bite me! Don't bite the armour, you'll ruin it, you crazy destructive bloody hobgoblin!"
"I no hobgoblin. Hobgoblin big an mean an eat you up. I Grishnakh goblin, small and smart and fast."
"If eating small metal plates is smart, I hate to think what stupid is."
"Shiny."
"Here, come here. See, the armour point on the brigandine ties onto the jack chains, and they get strapped onto the sleeves. And you strap the vambraces on too. Right you do the other side."
pause
"What have you got going on there? That looks a bit big. They're the thigh pieces, they're part of the legs, not the arms!"
