There were several clicking sounds on the bath's floor until Pupa started talking again, much closer.
Clicking sounds on the floor. From claws? An exoskeleton? Or just whatever metal they make homunculi out of?
Also, she's in the bath, so if she is a homunculus then what does she need that for? Oiling herself? Cleaning off dirt/dust from the day?
Also also! Yay, interaction with Pupa!!!!

"Don't take it as encouragement for your stupidity. I just don't want you to die because your shitty pointy stick broke at the first strike. It should last like a regular low quality haft now at least."

Lirra felt tears coming to her eyes and she hugged Melkorka, ignoring the uncomfortable angles of the Svartalf's armor.

"Thank you! It's the first time I got a gift from someone else than my mentor," she bawled over the runesmith's shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah, d-don't cry for the work of a minute, you idiot," answered an uncomfortable Melkorka, as she awkwardly patted Lirra's back. "Come on, people are starting to look at us, s-stop it!"
Melkorka is confirmed tsundere. :p

Edit:
[X] Spend some time with your classmates.
-[X] Pupa wanted to go visit the harbor town. See people, go shopping… the boats probably bring all sorts of stuff.

A lot of the votes for Pupa don't seem to be formatted correctly, since they're being listed separately from the main Pupa vote. I think at least a one person has a lowercase x in the brackets, which might be part of it.

Some people (you included) incorrectly have Pupa as a subvote of spending time with our earlier companions rather than classmates.

*edit* I was also using "- [" like was in the update rather than "-[" but I've now changed it to match others. The case of the "x" doesn't matter though.

Fixed, thanks. Clearly we all subconsciously want to hang out with Chloe so we can ask her about magic(!!!!!). Which we should definitely do once we finish hanging out with Pupa.

Edit:
Also, I get the feeling that Chloe will open up a lot more now that we have something to talk about that she's interested in.

-[X] Chloe will probably spend her time in the library. With the magical knowledge you obtained from the Pyres came a lot of questions. Maybe she has answers?
--[X] Stay general

Even aside from my determination to hang out with Chloe, there is a practical reason to do this. Namely, magic. Hopefully Forbidden Magic will come up, but I get the feeling that specifying it in the vote will lead to Lirra being highly suspicious.

Seriously people, we need the cash. We got us a shield skill and no shield to use it with. A lack of funds already bit us in the ass when we were fixing our spear and sword. We're probably going to need another round at the forge once we can get proper materials. We just bought those social skills and working a bar has a good chance of running into people we know, it's a great opportunity.

You make a fair point. It's a waste not to have a shield at least, I suppose I can swap my vote.

First we get the money, then we get the power, then, we get the friends. Nanoha style
 
Couldn't we just ask Melkorka for a shield before battle? Having more equipment than she knows what to do with is one of her biggest strengths.
That'd depend on us continuing to work with our earlier companions in a team, was that ever confirmed? If so, that's even more of a reason to invest more in healing since the team is currently seriously lacking there.

It's a pretty dick move to always be borrowing something you need from a friend and not getting for yourself. If she really does have that much extra stuff lying around, it'd be better to buy it off her and not have to bug her for one.

That does remind me, we should look into that enchanting or runecraft or whatever it is she does. You need magic weapons and armor to be 100% effective against things of the Dark, so being able to do recast those in the field or at least know how long the magic will last is more then handy. I'll throw it on my shopping list for when we get more Echoes or classes for it are offered.

(5) Sword Mastery (novice)
(10) Battle Tactics (novice)
(5) Magical Healing Theory (basic)
(5) Scientific Healing Theory (basic)
(5) Elemental Magic (novice)
(5) Alteration Magic (novice)
(?) Rune Magic or Enchantment? (novice?)
(5) Horse Riding (basic)
(15) Improved Intelligence (slight)
(15) Improved Perception (slight)
(15) Improved Will (slight)

I assumed that we would be in the same team, but I guess that isn't certain, especially with the possibility of death tolls. I agree, we really need to learn more healing.

If she really does have that much extra stuff lying around, it'd be better to buy it off her and not have to bug her for one.
That's a good idea! Especially since everyone seems to be voting to work this weekend. Maybe she'll give us some kind of discount since us being able to fight better will help keep her alive (assuming we're still on the same team).

Maybe add Mind Magic to the shopping list? It could be really useful if it interacts with Echoes.

If we are sticking with our old squad, it'd be redundant to invest so much into weapon creation/maintenance since that's what Melkorka brings to the table as a Staff/support.
