He comes back with a wooden chest. ‘A few months ago an aged human man left a package with us for safekeeping. He told me to give it to, An Ant so big that it is a Giant, he must have meant it for you. The dwarf sets the chest down in front of Ant. Fixxer and Slick gather close as Ant lifts up the lid.” ding“Hello, May I help you?” Kam interrupts his storytelling to the shop’s customers when the shops door chimes. An unfamiliar warforged enters the puppet store.The construct hesitates before answering, “i want a little warforged,” “We do have warforged puppets, if that is what you mean.” The changeling stares at the newcomer, confirming that the “symbol” on it’s head is not one he has seen before. There is so little to distinguish them as individuals, telling them apart is almost as bad as his own family. After a minute where the warforged does not volunteer any information, Kam accepts the futility of a staring contest against someone who cannot blink. “Was there one in particular you were looking for?”The Warforged turns without a word and starts to look around the shop. Kam readies himself for trouble when the would-be customer stops to examine on of their nicer puppets, which looks a lot like Model. The construct moves on and finally comes back to Kam. “i want one that looks like me” Kam visibly relaxes. “I think we can help you.” He steps over to the workroom door and calls out over the noise of tools, “Model I Have another Pupil for You.”-------Later that day“Model, I’m still not sure it is a good idea teaching these other warforged to make puppets.”"some of them, would do it, on their own,, if we didn’t. this way, we teach them,, 'Respect For Others,' along with skill."“How do we know one of them doesn’t answer to Him?” demands Kam. “I’ll admit they were easy to spot at first. They all asked to buy 'Their Lord’s Puppet', and then got upset that we don’t sell him, but they wised up. Now they ask to buy the one that looks just like you. Once they realize that it's a giveaway too who they work for they will try something else. What if they steal the one that looks like you and try to use it against you?”“It, only looks similar to me, it is not me.” Model explains. “Fixxer also, looks similar to me, but is not me. He has his own name and personality. If, someone took the one in the shop, and tried to do something with it, they would likely, only, discover the name I gave it.”“What name did you give it?”“Tattle-Tale.”</blockquote>
