[Croix nodded, and took a position opposite Kaede.]

We lift on three, then? [She said as she took hold of the boards.] 1... 2... 3...!

[With Kaede's Monstrous strength, lifting things was easy--not splintering delicate things or flipping the boards back in Croix's face, a little harder.

But Kaede managed both, lifting the bits of debris away piece by piece. With the help, they didn't slide about into an unwieldy mess. And soon, the shiny thing was in much easier reach, and easily visible. The antlered Chimera picked it up, much more carefully. It was indeed a clock; a squat thing that went on a table or shelf. One half of its decoration was missing, broken off; the other half looked ostensibly like a carved wreath. Its hands had long stopped, of course, but the face wasn't broken and nothing rattled inside when Kaede gave it a cautious shake.]

Don't suppose you know what to do with the guts of this thing. [Kaede mused, not fully expecting an answer. But there were a lot of things she didn't know about this person who knew Chariot. Maybe this answer was one of them.]

[Croix smiled as she took the thing, partly out of appearances, and partly out of an eagerness to get her hands on something.]

That depends on if it's magicked or not. [She gives it a once over, thinking.] It appears to be a normal clock, relying on gears and mechanisms. I'm no clockmaker, but I could probably fix it... or take it apart, if you wanted.
