Snippet #2106511

Edgar sat down after he realized that Agatha was nowhere near finished. It had been about 30 minutes and she hadn't even looked at. He wondered what it was she was working on now and tried to look but there were too many hands in the way. He was starving now and thought about going over to Agatha's kitchen but dismissed it as too far and just plain rude. He knew it was dangerous but he was tempted to just yell and get her attention.
Thankfully he wasn't the person who had to fill this role because just as the thought occurred to him another giant rushed into the room. It was Edgar's bodyguard, Gideonn probably come looking for him. Gideonn was probably one of the most highly respected warrior giants in Reendria but for some reason chose to defend Edgar and Agatha, the most peaceful 100 armed giant in Reendria. Gideonn was very well muscled and Edgar could compare him to most human body builders only Gideonn didn't sacrifice any agility in the process. A curly beard framed his scarred face and serious brown eyes. "Mistress Agatha," He began before a hard stare from Agatha silenced him momentarily. All 100 of Agatha's hands had stopped as she turned to face Gideonn anger evident in her face. "What?" she said normal sweet tones lost to this angry discontented one.
"It has been reported that Edgar is back in Reendria," He said barely phased by Agatha's anger. "I was wondering if you had seen him."
Agatha's anger disappeared as fast as it came and was replaced by concern. All 100 hands placed her work gently on the table before she lifted herself up and started to look for him. He let them search for awhile until he finally decided that he should make his presence known. "Hello." He said almost laughing as both giant heads turned to him. "How long have you been here?" asked Agatha sending a half dozen hands to reach for her pocket watch. "I've been here for about thirty minutes now." he said trying not to sound too smug. "Well thank you for at least trying to wait until i was finished." she said flashing a glare that was lost on Gideonn. "You really should come to me when you enter Reendria. I can name a number of giants that would have no problem disposing of you." He said carefully trying to make sure he didn't sound jealous of Agatha. "I can take care of myself." He said receiving a disbelieving grunt from Gideonn. "So what were you working on?" he asked turning towards Agatha who was absently trying to calm all of her arms. "Nothing special." She said holding up a flattened piece of metal with some words engraved into it. "But I did make you this." she said reaching for a small red box sitting on the workbench. She deftly handed the box to Edgar and Edgar just stared at it in his hands. He was yet again amazed at Agatha's attention to detail seeing the lines of gold paint coursing over the boxes surface. He pulled one side of the box off and gasped at what he saw inside.
