Excuse me, Forename...do you have a moment? It concerns this broken horologe which was found in the pocket of a man brought here for burial.

There is something...familiar about it...but just what I cannot say. Perhaps if I tinker with the device, it will come to me.


However, I lack the proper tools to do so. I would ask that you journey to Camp Drybone in my stead to obtain a bull-point chisel and a pair of needle-nose pincers.


They are often used by goldsmiths, so perhaps they would be the best people to ask.
Of course, I do not expect you to foot the bill. Here, take this coinpurse. That should cover it.
A bull-point chisel, you say? And a pair of needle-nose pincers? Those things don't come cheap, you know...

Thal's balls! I mean, yes, that should be sufficient payment. Nice doing business with you. Heh heh...


Erk! You again? Before you ask, no, I don't do refunds. Not that there's anything wrong with the fine tools I sold you!
Have you brought the tools I requested?

Hmmm...something occurs to me. Please wait here for a moment.


It was for naught. Though I repaired the device easily, this sensation that stirs within me remains a mystery.


But how...how did I do it?
These hands...my hands, they moved with a mind of their own, deftly manipulating the clockwork mechanisms...

There was no doubt or uncertainty. I knew exactly what to do, as though I had performed the same motions countless times before...


P-Pardon me, Forename─this was a mistake. Please give the horologe to Sister Eluned. The man who once owned it is currently in her care, and I think it best that it be returned to him.
Good
evening
to you, sir. Have you come to pay your respects to this man?

Never before have I seen such a queer device. You say that it measures the passing of time?


Mayhap they are more common in Garlemald. I am given to understand that its cities are filled with all manner of amazing technologies.


Marques said that it belonged to the deceased? Oh dear... You don't suppose that the owner might have been a Garlean spy? It may behoove us to notify the authorities in Camp Drybone.
But...mayhap more importantly, how did Marques manage to repair this device? I knew he had a talent for the trades, but this goes far beyond mending fences and thatching rooves...
