Sure it’s hard, but so is any other job you might run across. I love my job. How many people can say that? I get to do everything I’ve ever wanted to do. I explore a huge part of the territory, fight the baddies, and make a good living while doing it.

The part I get the most kicks from is the spontaneity. At least once a week Lanis or Onra or somebody else will come up to me and say, "I need a weapon that will do this to these monsters at this range. Can you do it?" I just smile and say, "Sure!" The field mechanic bit is perfect for this more creative side of the business. When you’re pinned and need something in a hurry, that’s when I’m at the top of my game. No telling how many inventions I’ve put out under those situations… water sword, steam grenade… about a dozen others, too. Don’t get me wrong. It may not be in the same place anatomically as you humans, but I’ve got a heart. I’ve done my share of favors for others, too. Magic medical supplies, communications, and reading glasses help out mercenaries and civilians alike. I’m not all business; I like to help people out, especially if it will get me some profit in the future.
