What made her decide to follow him into the factory? Probably good thing that she is with him as she recongize that glint from their first meeting. She already had more changes happened to her, more white scales as well as her emerald eyes started gaining a gold tint and silted.

"You are being a little more than obvious what you are planning." She goes to whisper up at him which came out like a sharp hiss. "They are just nestlings."

"Hmmm?" He feigned ignorance as he turned to her, walking along the second level of his latest but yet to be found sabotage.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." A beat. "No really. I have no idea what you are talking about." The hell she means by hatchling?

She just goes to let out a sigh and a small chuckle, shaking her head at his feigning ignorance.

"Lair~" She teases him a little. "The nestlings will be the ones who get into trouble the most. I can't heal so I won't be able to heal either you or anyone else."

From his sabotages. Just really Bishop. Stop.

"What? Why would they get in trouble for the misbehaving adults and shoddy construction?" Shoddy in the sense they're not Bishop-proof.

"That's managements responsibility." Just then there was a loud metal pop followed by someones cry of pain and the general commotion of an accident happening.

'The bloody hell just happend?!' 'A bolt just flew off the machine and pelted him in the noggin, sir!' Was the exchange that could be heard from the mens shouting. A bolt, usually secured with a nut, a nut that is in his pocket that is part of his next big sabotage.

She opens her mouth to respond to his question when the shouting and loud pop was heard.

Her wings instantly flared and poofed out before she forces to calm herself down again.

"Should we go to them or to the nestlings? If I understand this structures better I can try to wane a tale to the adults. It does seem to be very dangerous for both adults and nestlings afterall."

"Why?" He says going to the railing and leaning over just a bit to examine the situation. "He looks alright to me. Ah, but I suppose I should investigate. He says as if he were disappointed by the idea of it.

Regardless he walks past Leanne and towards the crowd, politely asking them to scoot over or gently pushing them aside as he examines the injured puca then to the machine in question.

"Looks like someone forcibly removed the nut from this lever mechanism. Anyone see any loose nuts, save the ones inside this mans head?" He already knew that though and this was just a distraction as he quickly took out the nut from his pocket and planted it on a nearby large turnskin.

Soon, the said turnskin finds the nut and the whole crowd erupted into bickering, cries of accusations, then shouting, taking of sides, and eventually someone throws a punch and the whole situation becomes...unmanageable. The perpetrator had taken a step back, leaning against the wall and watched his plans unfold.

"Do it if only to not make yourself look suspicious. Plus, we don't need someone who has died or seriously injured." She responses and sighs. Bishop... Bishop is quite the handful.

She moves to follow him through the crowd and giggles a little at his joke. But then, it just goes from bad to worse to waaaaay worse! What? Just what is happening and what is going on?!

Leanne flares her wings and takes to the air in order to dodge a punch and moves at once to land next to Bishop.

"I take a guess that this is a part of your plan?" She goes to whisper towards him so that the others cannot hear her.

"Again, I have no idea what you are going on about." She is totally right about that.

The fight continued long enough for a mosh pit to form before the foreman came long , bellowing loudly to break up the crowd and drag the two brawlers with him to his office while also shouting at Bishop and Leanne to follow.

Once in, the shouting won't stop until the two were properly berated and their attention turned to Bishop and Leanne. A simple question, 'what happened by their account', a story Bishop retold accurately as if he saw it himself.

"One thing I did notice though, all the individuals that were nearly victimized by these accidents were all people who were also in favor for giving the children more rights or leniency. I also believe that turnskin there is of the more....unpopular folks according to the children." He points out as the eyes of the foreman and the puca lock on the turnskin. "Looks to me like someone is planning something rather sinister."

Clue. He's in the room and name starts with 'B' as in 'bastard'.

She only goes to give him a playful hip bump. She won't speak more as there was a small amount of entertainment happening in front of them.

Leanne simply follows behind Bishop into the foreman's office and nods to agree with Bishop's story. If she told it, she might accidentally let it slip his plan so she will just nod in agreement with her friend.

It was hard not to giggle at his latter words but then she goes to speak up. "This will be a bad look, the very people who were in favor of giving the nestlings more rights were the only ones injured in this place of work. It might be a plot to set up a conflict that won't go away easily. It would be est to find the instigate as quickly as possible to save face."

What she says honestly didn't matter to him, what did matter was that she was also brought into the office. That, was the real monkey wrench in his plans.

His original plan was to just get some time with the foreman which he was hoping would be after getting the testimonies of the two. Once alone he'd 'persuade' the foreman to give the kids more rights, after all Bishop had created more than enough evidence to prove foul play. The so called 'perpetrators' were all the foreman's loyal flunkies after all.

But Leanne doesn't strike him as the type to keep quiet about this, though it's clear that she's a little sharper than she looks.

Whatever the case, the foreman shakes his head and falls down into his chair and quickly suspended the turnskin and told the puca to go get treated while dismissing Bishop and Leanne and demanded that they fixed this. Outside, the true mastermind behind the accidents sighed. "Well that plan is shot to all hell. Now what's my next play..." He whispered to himself.

She watches everything going down and senses Bishop's disappointment. She moves a hand to idly brush his in order to give him stealth comfort.

The foreman seems to not quite take in her words to account and Bishop seems to be going further and further down the rabbit hole of semi-defeat.

Once they left the office and she heard that sigh, she frowns a little and looks up to him. "Hey, you did good. If anything, you did get some vengeance for the nestlings."

She goes to think for a moment. "Perhaps we can lay low, watch and then make a new plan. I can also see what I can do to encourage the foreman to our side."

Perhaps Leanne's encouragement would have lifted his spirits -

"Huh??? The heck are you going on about??? You're the reason my plan went to shit."

- if he weren't, well, who he is.

"Everything was all ready for me to put pressure on the foreman. Scouting the area, setting up targets, sabotaging the equipment, planting the evidence, all building up for the foreman to call me into his office. Alone. The last thing I needed was a witness. Which was you in this case."

She blinks before ruffling her wings.

"It wasn't my fault that the foreman decided to call me in as a witness. I did my best to cover your tracks and keep your plan going." She huffs and really wants to pinch his ear now.

"Not my fault that you didn't make a backup plan." ALL OF THE HUFFING NOW! And you know what, she is going to reach up and pinch the skin behind his ear now.

"Huuuhhh?? Covering MY tracks??? Who the hell said I needed covering?? I bribed the witnesses already!" The workers here were already a bit scummy and in need of a bit more coin so it wasn't that hard.

He started to swat her hand away when she went to try and pinch him, and would do so again if she tried to continue.

"I wouldn't have needed one if you didn't cling so close, waterbird."

"We just happened to be in the same building." She goes to protest. "Perhaps if you clued me in more with your plan I would have been able to carry it out better.... Jerk..."

Leanne stopped her attempt to pinch him when he swatted her hand away.

"It is always wise to have a backup plan, cause you can't always predict what would happen." And here her wings goes to droop a little. Jerk. "And you say that as if it was an insult."

He pouts and huffs in response. "I do have a back up, but I'd need to wait for nightfall." A beat. "And find a nice secluded spot."

Because what's a hitman's specialty? M U R D E R

"Although I suspect no one would be too happy for something like that to happen, and that plan is a bit too extreme now that I think about it. Maybe I could just maim him a bit..." And now he's forming a plan that's arguably worse.
