Behold, Taxon, possibly the most ridiculous thing ever seen on the tablets: Glitch, bathed in the intense gleam of a rainbow, standing beside a pot of gold.

"Look what I found!" he said, all excitement and grinning and pointing. "It just...behind the shop, there's this rainbow and it looks like it goes--" He gestured in an arc to indicate some great distance across the sky. "B-but here at the end there's gold."

Then Glitch remembered he was in the city of horrors and frowned, giving the pot of gold a skeptical look. "Okay, so...what does it mean?"

"You get carried away, though," she pointed out. Which wasn't a bad thing. It just meant that things like cleaning up - instead of jumping straight into a new and exciting side project - might get delayed for a while.

"With the gold? I don't know. It's not as if we can spend it here, is it?"

"...that does tend to happen, yeah," he agreed with a sheepish grin. Either by getting distracted or taking a simple task and turning it into a massive undertaking.

"Not really. But we can make stuff with it, maybe. Gold-plated...stuff." Glitch rolled his eyes, frustrated with himself. "I-I'm starting to think all my creations were comissioned."

"I don't," she said, gently, "I've seen your work. You're the most creative guy I know, as well as the smartest."

There must have been a few commissions - things that her mother had asked to be made or inventions designed to meet a particular aim - but, even if that was the case, he was the one who took a vague idea and made it into something outstanding.

"You're just..." Glitch began, but trailed off with warm smile. No, he knew better now than to even joke about DG just saying anything, she always spoke her heart.

"You're just the sweetest thing," he said instead and decided that whatever he made was going to be for her. "Thank you, DG, I I know I can do it."

"I know," she said, with a mischievous smile that became a little softer and a little more sober a moment later. "And I know you can. I can't wait to see what you've come up with."
