Work Text:
"Kamui I know you said you had some clientele in the upper echelon of Ul'dah that were interested in commissioning me but..." Lea let out a sigh as she rubbed the bridge of her nose, pushing the supposedly 'complete' request forms back to the Raen across from her, "No amount of gil is going to make me design these from the ground up, let alone the beauty work they'd want after I finally finish a functioning prototype. For the Gods sake, half of these are just the names for the item they made up, not even a description of the damned things!"
"I'd told them the same thing - albeit phrased to not risk either of our reputations," Kamui nodded apologetically as he took the papers and put them back in his bag. "The good news is that I do have some request forms that are filled to you standards," he smiled smugly as he retrieved a thick folder and placed it before his Elezen companion, "And this time only two of them are from me!"
Lea arched a brow as she opened the folder, the front page briefly detailing the requests within - she ignored the first two, Kamui was ever patient with her work and knew to respect her external commissioners as much as she did. Of the remaining five requests, three were predominantly carpentry and two metalwork.
"I'll arrange to meet with the owner of the château first, while it'd be nice to use the same beams to maintain the structure, if they want this much detailing carved into them they may need either additional support via metalwork or some new beams altogether to ensure the roofs integrity." Lea nodded as she closed the folder, standing to leave, "Oh, if any of those first fools ask, could you find a way to phrase 'pull your brain out of your ass before commissioning anyone, not just Lea' for me?" a wry smile on her lips.
