Jaymes is free today, so when Frank comes to his door, the big man is dressed and ready "Morning"

"Morning." Frank's got a rented pick up and padding to move the clock with. "Hop in."

Jaymes gets into the vehicle with him smoothly, "Full Grandfather clock eh?"

"Yep. Shouldn't be too muc trouble but I thought I should have someone else with me for the look of it."

"Had some Glamour in it, just so you know."

"mmph?" ("Dangerous, you think?")

Frank looks grave, and grunts ("That's the big question.")

"Guess we'll find out" A nod to him

"Mm."

They arrive shortly, and enter the shop.

The same man greets them, "Good morning, sirs"

"Morning. Came to pay for and pick up the clock."

"Well, that was quick. It's in the back. I'll need to get a dolly" He says "Be a bit. "

"I brought my friend to help, I think we can handle it. Let me pay for it, cash, and then we'll move it. If we break it... well, we bought it."

"If you're sure" The man says, but he does take their money and guides them to the back area where a sheet has been thrown over the clock

Frank moves the sheet and checks it, kerning as well as visually.

It glitters with glamour all right. But no additional damage is done

Jaymes looks it over too ,curious

"Ok." Frank goes to work on securing the inner workings before moving it.

As he tinkers with its insides, it sparks with glamouur as if to urge caution, silver energies play along the pieces

He is very careful. His goal is to avoid damaging the mechanisms and clockwork.

And , eventually, with Jaymes helping, it's done

They get the clock carefully into the truck and Frank shakes the shopowners hand. "The girl comes back with anything else, you call me? I will come buy it."

"Sure sure.." the man shakes his hand back "If hte clock gives you too much trouble let me know. I can offer you something else at a discount to make up for it"

"Thank you." Frank and Jaymes get back in the truck and take the clock back to the Lodge.

Jaymes talks and not in grunts "You saw the silver sparks?"
