          Hands kept tempo in their busy work, combing with deft precision through innumerable slips and curls of parchment. The spectacles hung low over the bridge of his nose, threatening to slip away with every twist of his lips in dissatisfaction the longer his efforts went unrewarded. “𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐲.

See, the difficult part is that... outside of the apprentices he’s had over the years (and their families, for those who’ve stayed in contact with him) and some of his colleagues, Veric is an antisocial asshole who has to be dragged out of the house or else he’ll just sit inside all day in the company of his automatons.
