Gear Heart looked on as the assassin threw the claw at Veronica. Though the baron had already killed the man, Gear Heart still crushed the assassin's corpse. Gear Heart then looked back at Veronica. The girl was safe, pulled out of harm's way by the stable boy who had also used magic to halt the claw's progress long enough to successfully move Veronica out of the way. After Lucky explained his magic to all present and the 2 elves had said their peace, Gear Heart approached the boy and held out his large metal hand. Within seconds, a poppy had bloomed on the golem's hand for Lucky to take. Gear Heart then reached his other hand out to Veronica and offered her a poppy as well.
