Cadogan smiled like an idiot - well an idiot, or a very goofy person. He quickly gathered his composure though and replaced the smile with a more determined one. "Ofcourse I bloody damn sure intend to win - what reason would I have to join a competition just to aim for the second place?" He rolled his eyes and took a little sip from the bottle of wine - which was at this point less than half full. "That's like building a weapon and not intending to use it - pointless." The Great Inventor muttered as he scratched his chin and shook his head a bit before chuckling "If I don't win this one I'll be greatly dissapointed in myself. Might do horrible things, like composing music or other such mumbo jumbo." The white haired man shook his head again and ran his fingers though his hair. "Ok, I need to concentrate..."

Cadogan shifted his stance - straightened his back and took a little sidestep while taking better support from his walking stick. "Now, if you excuse me I have few last minute details to take care of - so... uh... Wish me luck, ok?" The white haired man smiled quite sheepishly as he made a little bow and made his way past Torva and Hagumi.

Despite the slight swaying in his walk the Great Inventor managed to get himself signed up to the competition without much of a hassle - and he managed to do it in a dignified manner to boot. He made his way to his assigned working space and sent word to a few fellows he had paid to get all of his belongings to the site. His creations arrived in good order and Cadogan began checking the little details and making some last minute adjustments - mostly to the War Walker of his.

While the white haired man worked he silently whished himself luck for the competition and occasionally took a little sip of wine to ease his nerves.
