[Mika sounds a little breathless as she looks up from the fitting she was bludgeoning into submission and almost--almost--drops her wrench. Even dusty and travel-stained Rex is hard to mistake, even if she'd been so irritated with her brace she hadn't looked up at the sounds of his horse. Embarrassed at being caught with her skirts hiked up past her knees so that her striped stockings showed, her cheeks flush a little and her ears flick back. Tail thumping once against the seat she's perched in, she looks back at the metal brace since it was safe to stare at.]
I'm not very good with machines, Jezebel's the one who built it but I can't make heads or tails of the more complicated parts and this thing's been hard to walk in all morning.
[Jezebel was very good with her tools, and Mika had often heard her commenting on how she'd like to take a closer look at Rex's horse whenever he rode into town. Among other things, of course. But the thought of how Jezebel had said that with such a scandalous smile on her face made Mika regret remembering it while thanking everything that the huntress was nowhere in sight.

So she just mumbles at her knees instead.]
