Askier sat hunched over his work station, his eyes fixed on the device he was rigging before him. The door to the room.was locked and Ashwynn sat nearby reading a book and sipping tea, utterly unconcerned that her fiancee was building a bomb not ten feet away. This sort of thing was 'normal'.
Askier licked his lips as he turned a screw, mounting the denonator to the barrel that housed his blasting powerder. The barrel was airtight and coated with an oily substance that had then been covered by canvas wrappings. The detonator had been sunk into the middle of the barrel and would shoot a fiery charge into the blasting powder once the pin of the blasting cap was pulled and the thirty second timer ticked down. Thirty seconds would just be enough time.to escape the blast radius. Askier enjoyed cutting it close with his timers and fuses. Â And there would be no going back.
Once that timer was ticking it wasn't stopping. Askier had added extra wires and cables and was dealing the device shut with screws to enclose the inner workings.Â
Askier turned the final screw tight and stood up, stretching his tense and stiff back. He smiled as he looked up at Ashwynn, who looked over at him, then his bomb, then him.
"I promise I won't blow off anything else." Askier said with a grin. Ashwynn rolled her eyes and went back to reading.
Askier picked up his device with a grunt, it was fairly heavy, walked to the door, unlocked it, and headed out, smiling and looking forward setting his device off.
