Sennels ears suddenly perk up as he spins around to Seigfried. "Wait, did you say you were a clockmaker?" Without waiting for a reply he digs around in his bookbag. "Any chance you can take a look at this for me? I know its not a clock but it should be close enough..."

After a minute of rummaging he pulls out a strange device made up of gears and spindles. "I got this a while back but haven't a clue what it does. The thing's definitely magitech though, and its clockwork to boot so I just had to buy it. Anyway, any chance you can tell me what it is or if its broken?"

Seigfried takes the device and examines it, turning it over several times in his hands.  He turns a couple of the gears with his fingers, arches an eyebrow, and absent-mindedly flicks his right ear as he fiddles with the device.
"Fascinating little device there... whatever it is it certainly is broken, though I'd have to take a closer look at it to find out exactly what's wrong.  I'm no magesmith, but how about we go by my shop and I see what I can do?"

"Well, then, it seems you've no need of me.  I'll just take my leave now, then?"

Kyan bows another ridiculously exaggerated bow, then turns to leave, dropping to all fours.

"Very well, my shop's right this way."

Seigfried leads the way to his shop, where he sets the contraption down on a desk with various tools, a stand holding several sizes of magnifying glass, and a bright hooded lamp.  He sets down his briefcase just behind the counter, picks up his mail and thumbs through it, quickly scanning for anything of interest.  As he does so he says,
"There are some chairs over here, make yourself comfortable, there's a few books on that shelf if you want something to read, or of course you can watch."

Curiosity getting the better of him, Kyan waits until the pair are no longer paying attention to him, and tries to follow them without raising suspicion, taking the form of a small black cat.   

I've no intention of going inside, but he's liable to try to peek in through any windows and listen through doors, given the chance.

Drauger walks up to Sigfried's  shop, looking up from a piece of paper with a list of directions on it.
"This must be the place..."
He knocks upon the door with a earthen hand, and ducks inside.
"I'm looking for a clockmaker named..."
Drauger glances back to the piece of paper.
"Sigfried."

Seigfried looks up from his mail and says,
"I am he, may I ask why you are looking for me?  And do try to avoid getting dirt on the floor, I just swept it."
He swishes his tail in agitation, both at the sudden interruption and the prospect of having to sweep the floor again.

Drauger nods and shifts from dirt to rock before walking up to Seigfried.
"I was told you were a pretty good clockmaker, and I've been looking around for someone to make one for me. I can't stick around on an island forever, and without a way of tracking time I sometimes spend too much. Don't need anything fancy, a regular pocket watch'd do just fine. A bit of reinforcement would be good, though. Any estimates on a price?"

Sennel's witchlight pulses once in annoyance, but he says nothing and waits for the customer to leave.

Drauger looks to Sennel and nods his head.
"Apologies if I was interrupting something."

Seigfried rubs his chin thoughtfully,
"A traveler eh?  I think I've got something."
He pulls open a drawer behind the counter containing several rather plain pocket watches, and sets a few on top of the counter.
"If you want my advice you'd probably want this one with what's known as a 'hunter case'", he indicates a simple brass watch with a hinged lid, "the hinged lid on the case here folds down over the watch's face, and will protect it from scratches, nicks, or *ahem* dirt.  Now, this one here will cost you about 30 coppers, for another ten I could etch your name on the back with that machine behind me", he points back briefly to indicate said machine, "of course if you want a custom piece that would cost quite a bit more, and you'd have to wait a few days."

Drauger inspects the watch, looking at the face, tapping the case lightly and listening to it.
"Seems good. Nice make. I'll take it, thanks."
He hands Seigfried a pouch with 30 coppers in it, and walks towards the door with a wave.
"I'll come back if I ever need repairs or the like."

Sennel steps between Fen and the door. "Do you have anything magnetic on you?" He askes bluntly. "One of the gears on my, uhh, clockwork...thing...starting turning when you went near the counter."

Patches lands his sail glider outside and within a few minutes has set up a stand selling odd trinkets and sparkly things.
