@FestiveShazam She pondered that a moment while accepting the coin. “Um, well, I have learned too well not to make wishes. They never turn out how you, well, how you wish them to.”
@FestiveShazam “I’ve had practice. I know I don’t look it, but I am a scientist.” She explained, finishing putting the final cogs back into place and winding it. “There you go, good as new. You had something clogging the tension rod, so the hands couldn’t fully tick over. It’s working now.”
@FestiveShazam She looked at the device, pulling a bundle from her dress and laying it out on a table next to the watch. “Well, I will certainly do my best.” She tinkered with it for a while, taking a few pieces apart and then putting it back together, fixing the inner workings.
@FestiveShazam That caused her to raise a brow. “You… really? You don’t care that I’m a woman?” She has literally had people call her a witch for being able to do what men did, only better.
@FestiveShazam “Um…” This was completely new to her. She’d never had someone ask for help like that. They were usually too ashamed to ask a woman. “l Tell you what, I won’t charge you. Wouldn’t want to embarrass you, after all. Having a woman do the work.”
