After receiving his bottle back from Garran and taking a large gulp from it Cadogan shook his head slightly as the pirate dashed off to do some heroics. He himself was in no condition for such things, but he did have a plan of action - the plan consisted of leaving the rest of the group to their own machinations for now.

Cadogan spent a good while going around the city and using the rather magnificent prize money of his to pay for the expenses he had accumulated over the short stay in the fine city. After a while there was only one name on his list - Alonzo Lightfeather. In truth the Great Inventor didn't owe anything to the particular fellow, but instead had a business proposition.

The sounds of someone hammering at the door woke Alonzo up, he had at first no intentions of answering the door, but when the furious hammering had been going on for about two minutes he finally went to answer the door. On the other side of the door stood yesterdays's winner, Cadogan Feraldo. "The hell do you want? Here to brag ab-" Alonzo's words were cut short due to a very heavy purse hitting his chest. "Look in the purse and stay silent for a moment." Cadogan stated calmly - if a bit coldly. "That's a half of the prize money from yesterday. It can be yours if you help me on something."

Alonzo gripped the purse tightly in his hand and sourly motioned the Great Inventor to move inside. "What would make you think I would help you?" He inquired while pulling open the purse and glancing inside it. "Three things. Firstly your pride as an inventor, secondly the fact that you can never have too much money and thirdly you want to be rid of me." Cadogan stated with a little smirk as he counted with the fingers of his still moving hand. After that he lowered the bag from his back to a table.

"I could be rid of you by just tossing you out, but... Very well, I'm listening for now." Alonzo grumbled while wondering what the human had in mind and suddenly coming to a realization. "...You came all the way here to ask me to do something about that arm of yours - well I have to disappoint you I'm not a healer and..." Cadogan took the downsized War Walker arm from the bag and lay it on the table. "Be silent for a moment and think about this - why are you the first one I came to ask for help?"

Alonzo was silent for a good while as he examined the metallic arm. "You came to ask me for help first? I'm not the last option then?" Cadogan nodded "Yes. Now there is a purely logical reason for this just so you don't think I'm being altruistic or that I have forgotten how close our competition got. I need your invention." Alonzo continued examining the metallic arm and pried open two hatches from it. "I see now, the devices would go here and here... Because you can't use magic and thus wouldn't be able to recharge the arm..."

Cadogan nodded and adjusted the silver hairpin of his. "Precisely. So how about it? I can even write down a contract stating that I'll not partake in the Inventor's Games for the next two years. Just think about it. The two of us had a nearly even competition - heck, I think you would have won easily if I hadn't brought my War Walker in."

Alonzo gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. If he'd help the damn human he'd get enough funding for his project and wouldn't have to worry about him in a competition for a few years - then again the human had shown up on his doorstep without invitation and was already rather rude... Though he had to admit that he was intrigued by Cadogan's invention and... The seraphim took a deep breath and nodded. "Fine, I'll help you with that arm then. A friend of mine is a healer so attaching it shouldn't be difficult."

Cadogan smiled approvingly "Splendid, how about you send word to that friend of yours and we get working on installing those magic storing devices on the arm?" Alonzo nodded and the two inventors started working.
