"Hey Ilias." Mira said with a breath of relief. She knew that Ilias wasn't a bad person, and was an absolute sweetheart, at that.

"And the progress is held up a bit for the moment." She told him honestly.

"Oh?" He asked in response.

"Yeah. It's taking longer to print the base out that I expected. I gotta wait for this to finish before I can test it, make the mold, and cast it."

"A week, at the very least." She said with a light sigh.

"Which is annoying. I'd expected to have it cast and sharpened this weekend." She added before meeting his gaze.

"I'm also working on another design if this one doesn't work out." She added. "If you want to check? I know it's not quite your flavour, but maybe?"

"Feel free to take a look then. I know you have an idea as to how to navigate the program now, at least." She told him simply.

"I'm not sure if the one I'm currently printing is going to have the right balance or not." She added. "so that one is another with, I think, a potentially better center of gravity."

"Just a matter of waiting for this to finish printing so I can do that one."

"Ilias?" She asked before approaching and laying her hand on his shoulder, overtop of where the hand had been laid previously.

"Hey, you all right?" She asked.

"Should I call Angela?" There was definite concern to her voice, and it couldn't be denied.

Mira stayed calm, and if anyone were to ask how, she'd merely say it was due to the fact that she was a dwarf, someone who was largely very well known to take things in stride, to an extent. Beyond that, it was that it was hard to faze her.

As she felt the snake bite her though, she just sighed and figured that all bets were off.

she had to make sure he didn't get out of there, now. She was already dead, so what harm would it do her? With that in mind, she dove for the desk and hit a button underneath it. and once it was perssed, the door and windows in the room closed, and locked.

They would now need security, or her, to open it.

"Now... you're trapped." She said.

[b]"The hell has gotten into you, Ilias!~?[b/] She then exclaimed, some pain in her voice from the bite. It may not have been a lot of pain, but it did still hurt.

Mira was silent before shaking her head and looking around, quickly scanning the room.

"I am so happy you aren't a full blooded gorgon." She commented as she dove out of his way as he tried to get her.

"I ain't going to let you get me easily." She promised.

"And you're not a monster! What changed?"

Mira was silent before just sighing.

"Know what? Fine." She said simply before dashing toward one of the walls. She had pleny of weapons there, after all. Had several on display. As she grabbed one, she realised that he had decided to find some cover. Not that she knew where he could hide. The place was pretty well packed, overall. Various stations for the one woman show that she had going on.

Not many places to hide.

Sure enough, she grabbed the weapon and turned to find him nowhere to be found - somehow. So she just made her way to the desk and sat down, waiting.

Mira saw the incoming projectile and knew she'd hav eot dodge it. Even if she didn't, she knew where about he was, and was focusing more on his current position than the item coming at her.

As she got to her feet, and attempted to dodge the incoming item as she started to make her way toward him. She didn't manage to dodge the item entirely, though. She caught it in the hip, with enough force that she knew there'd be a potentially nasty bruise there, but she didn't know if she had the time to worry about it for the moment.

Instead, she charged for him, a slight limp to her movements due to the pain in her hip.

As she reached him, she grabbed his collar with one hand, the one that didn't have the sword she'd grabbed. It was also the one that hadn't been bitten. He grabbed her wrist, holding face, and Mira didn't stop him as she brought the other hand up, sword in hand. She was holding it by the blade though, and despite the cuts she was going to sustain, she was still bringing it to him to bash him over the head with the rather weighted hilt.

Once he was down, Mira let out a few rahter creative, and colourful, curses, before quickly making her way to one of the closets. Without delay, she found some rope and tape - mostly the latter - before using them on Ilias, to stop him from causing problems upon waking.

She even made sure that the snakes mouths couldn't open. Although she was careful to not suffocate them.

"Bastard." She growled before getting to her feet again and heading off, making sure to lock the door on her way out.

She had to make her way to the med wing, and track down her boss - Hal.

♫Born of graves and left below ♪ Painted ashes, painted snow♫

"I'm heading to the medwing." Mira answered with a sigh.

"If anyone is looking for me, that's where I'm going. Also, don't let Nicolo out of there." She added, motioning to the door she'd come out of.

"I'll be back." as she spoke, she hadn't stopped, continued on to the door out,and was gone about a minute after she said the last piece.
