Moving Day (Private)

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide excited. she was moving her little shop to a warehouse, right near..Jaks. that young man was so much younger than her it was mind boggling but he had a mind as quick as hers and really she fell ofr that before anythin else. and now, they could use their big beautiful brains together all the time. She was humming as she packed up the last of her suitcases, waiting for jaks to arrive to help her transport everything. "You will have more room too Louis." She looked to her pleasant homunculus who was sitting an reading, waiting for them to get going. "You will have a nice room and you can spend time at Jak's shop too, ill bet hed have work for you too!"

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks walked into the shop to see all of the normal bottles, jars, and things that used to be on shelves in boxes ready for to be moved to the new shop next to his. t was a great arrangement seeing as how they could now collaborate at litterly any time. Jaks was always up late and Frides would always wake up for science. Plus it created the possibility of thm just hanging out on a regular basis which was also a great success. Jaks was wearing his normal duster but while the door was open one could feel the heat of the coming summer. "Hell, I'd pay him, and I'm pretty sure Kaze wouldn't mind getting a new butt to stare at." He laughed before taking a look around. "The Truck is out front is everything ready?"

[Frideswide Seys]

The serious homunculus blushed and looked down. Frideswide laughed and spun around"Jaks! Oh this is so exciting!" as she approached her loyal companion started picking up things to move onto the truck. "I have everything ready to go. I tried my best to organize things but when it comes to some of these supplies I really feel like i need a better system than 'dont put near eachother or they will explode'." she giggled but ti was no lie. she was so focused on alchemy that she never bothered setting up anything computerized.

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks laughed with her, it was fun to poke Louis, but when she mentioned organization he blushed a small bit. "Actually......I made you a house/store warming gift." He pulled out what looked like a Pda and handed it to frides. "Electronic inventory management, its hooked up to the register so you know how much you have left. Its not much but I figure it would be helpful." He picked up a couple of boxes and moved them out to th truck before coming back in. "anything I should be extremely careful of? any boxes that could remove my other leg or something?"

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide smiled faintly as Jaks blushed. He usually floored her when eh started going red, an she wasn disappointed. she held the device in her hands, poking at the device's touch screen."you just think of everything." she looked up at the youn man and slyly smiled. "I should give you a little motivation , well and reward, but for now." she kissed Jak's left cheek and hurried to grab a box. "anything labeled fragile or explosive!'

[Jaks Flagner]

the slight blush became so much more when she kissed him on the cheek. Suddenly the strength of 20 men to carry more boxes. Still just 2 but damn it, he felt like he could carry all the boxes to her new place himself. "Well I figured it would help around the shop." He finished placing the boxes in the truck and it was extremely quick work with both him and Louis, but that was just the shop itself, they still had to move stuff from her workshop and house. With he sun beating down on him like it was, it wasa mistake for him to wear the duster and now he was all sweaty. So he took it off and his shirt as well, he didn't want to ruin it with stains from anything that might leak out of the box. So there was Jaks, moving Frrides stuff shirtless.

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide helped the boys until Jaks removed his shirt an showed that brains didnt have to mean no brawn. In fact this was some mighty fine brawn and Frideswide was now frozen in awe until the truck was loaded. "So..yeah...ready to go." she murmured as Louis looked on, silent and confused by her momentarily lapse. She suddenly snapped out of it. "So! are we off then?" she exclaimed as she patted Jaks on the beefy shoulder.

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks hopped into the driver seat and leaned out the door of the large truck," I'm ready to go up here" He called out. Jaks had been flying his own airship since before he was 16, now that he was 17 he had to make sure that he had a a drivers license. Most teens would see it a sense of freedom, but jaks was a pirate before so this was just a formality at this point. He waited for frides to hop in before he started his up and made way to the ware house. It wouldn't take very long but it was a nice respite from the heat, sun and lifting.

[Frideswide Seys]

While Louis climbed in back Frideswide hopped in the passengers side and flashed her fellow alchemist a grin. "So, on the ride over you can tell me, hows the shop been?" she winked. "Get anymore gods visiting?" The alchemist was impressed with how popular the engineer got and had been worried about the triad bugging him, but with her closer, they werent such an issue.

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks pulled out onto the street looking at the road but wished he could keep looking at Frides. The way the light seemed to capture her made her just as resplendent as the gods she had mentioned. " Its doing great, didn't think that I would be in business to such high brows, but here I am. As much as people are paying for these weapons I could almost afford to expand. I'm not going to, but I could. Gonna improve the facility a bit, get a better forge, some more efficient tools for Kaze, and maybe some other things that could help improve the place a bit. As for gods, I've had Shinda and Yoya come in. Shinda bought my latest magnum opus, and Yoya came in to order a set of weapons, She's coming to pick them up this weeken...." Suddenly he was cut off by a rather inconsiderate driver and had to hold himself back from swearing. It was rude to swear in front of a lady. "So You looking forward to the new shop? I mean its a perfect place to open up shop but it's gonna be slow at first. I could help you rum up some business with a tournament or something. I'll supply the weapons and you supply the heals, what better way to advertise your products than through battle?"

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide sat there looking around, just breathing in the air that smelled of promise and discovery, and stole an occasional glance towards her fellow alchemist-engineer. He was doing a lot, she had to remember this, and not take it for granted. Not many, not even in her long life, really connected this closely to her, and being a fellow human, he knew the brutality of their world now. "O-oh yes, absolutely. I have room to make it a lot more, well aesthetically pleasing..and I really like the idea of a tourney to get people drawn to the shop. I mean it would help you too right?"

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks smiled, "You say that like your last shop wasn't up to par. It had a very unique feeling to it, like when you entered it felt like the woman coming up to the counter would be a sly old woman. No one really expects a beauty like you to walk up." Jaks kept lookij forward and laughed again. "Ascetic design doesn't matter when you make good craft, but i am supr excited to see what you do with the place. I still need to do a few touch ups and I can seeabout doing them for you after we finish moving all of your stuff in, so long as you don't mind the company. As for the tourney, it would help the both of us, more so me because it gives me a chance to show off my manly prowess in battle." He said jokingly while flexing his still shirtless arms.

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide giggled and gave the goggles that perpetually perched upon a her head a little adjustment. "It was cramped ..and im nothing that special.." then a thought crossed her mind and she started to laugh. "Oh but arent I a sly old woman? She laughed. "Ok maybe not sly, youre the sly one, getting me to blush again. Now then why dont we unload everything and then we can plot the stipulations of this tourney." Frideswide was trying to stay focused but she was already outlining in her head where she was going to put everything, and hell even doing inventory excited her, she liked organizing things. She had Jaks to thank for this place, and the chance to get excited again.

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks hopped out of the car nodding with smiling agreement, "Not so sly that I can hide the truth." He went to the back of the truck and threw it open grabbing boxes with louis. " Your no old lady either. Age is nothing when you have the body and spirit of someone as young as 23, and even some of them have trouble keeping up with you when your excited about something. A fervor truly unmatched by anyone I've personally met." Jaks made his way inside the new store which held a musty unused air about it and a blanket of heat that was common for an un air conditioned area. " Should also think about getting a cat, bigger place means mice are more,likely, especially here in the sea district."

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide got out of the truck as Jaks helped Louis unload, and stuck around on the side of it as Jaks praised her, so he wouldnt see her turn red. She had always been quite zealous but it was still flattering to hear. "A cat?" she squeaked out as she ran to the doors. "Toss me the keys ill open it up..and yeah i could get a cat. do you have one in your place?" she smirked imagining Jaks petting a little kitty as every manly man needed a cat pal to show his sensitivity.
