[ Forward. Right.

She steps forward with confidence and stops as soon as she feels the stick - the one Sam gave her and she's still using - hit something solid. A quick further investigation makes it obvious it's the counter, and she starts shuffling around it. ]

[Samantha came forward around the time that toph made her way around the counter. She nodded, and the smell of sulfur joined the others, just barely.]

There's only the one hall and I've told the golem to stand down. I've got space cleared out. You ready? Because this is going to hurt like hell.

[earthrhythms]

Bring your worst. I can take it.

Golem?

[samantha_grey]

Heh. It's a stone statue of mine that can move and protect this room. The runes can be used for that too, though it's expensive to keep up if you're always doing it. Helps to have a shop. It's kind of like paying for security.

[She slapped her hand down on the table, giving Toph the indication of where to go.]

I'll introduce you when I'm finished.

[earthrhythms]

Stone? Yeah, I wanna meet 'im!

[ Because calling it an it doesn't feel right to her.

Anyway, she'll follow Samantha's lead. ]

[samantha_grey]

Heh. Done deal. Now, hold still for this part because it's going to hurt like hell for a while.

[And, to this, she wasn't embellishing as she sometimes did. It was definitely painful, and though Samantha wasn't really that great at making things pretty, she could keep a mystic array precisely in place. She just needed to focus on getting the ink in the right points to make sure none of the symbols were askew, which meant muscling her charge down once in a while and the piercing pain growing into a dull throb wherever the array was placed.]
