The party was interested in the dolls that they saw. Mela seemed to be nervous, but she quickly threw up a tough mental wall and seemed to be stomping down her emotions. She also had called out the doll, mimicking how Su moved.
"You are already doing better with that doll. Its shields aren't dragging or getting caught on anything. I think you just need to look at finding a way to swap shields to different rune formations for each situation."
The compliment distracted the arcane puppeteer, but she managed to respond nonetheless. "I adjusted the joints to hold them higher naturally, it changed the balance so I needed to add more weight to the lower core and slightly shift the mana gem in its center."
Walker was still a little annoyed that mela was so polite with Su, but it was what it was. He was more interested to know that inner adjustments to a doll like this could be done quickly enough to enhance the overall usage of the doll.
