Knife clashed with spoon as Santokumaru engaged in his Destined Duel of Destinytm and Vesper turned his eye towards the web of ropes supporting the kobolds above them. The Elysium curiculum had been thorough but his expertise in knots leaned more towards ties and fancy little decorative ways to keep sets of cutlery together on the table but the broad principles were the same, assuming the whole thing wasn't just being held up by magic (which for all he knew it could be but he was being optimistic here) there would have to be some weak points in its construction that if disrupted could bring the whole mess down in to the scolding water below.
Standing up to in their makeshift boat Vesper reached behind him and with a flourish produced a series of pristine silver forks held in the gaps between his fingers but first there was one nagging thought he had to attend to, turning his attention to the little magitech wonder in the middle of the boat, taking the offered liquid as he did so "You are too kind Sir Tourna, my apologies if this is not my place but are you waterproof?"
After he got a responce, or after a polite amount of time if none was forthcoming, it was time for action! Tourna's brew had focuses his senses further beyond what even could normally be expected from a particularly detail orientated elf and he let the gleaming cutlery fly towards the knots above.
Which didn't go as well as he had hoped, some graduates of the Elysium Academy could wait a table at a hundred paces but Vesper wasn't one of them, he had chosen to focus on slightly more esoteric endeavours, still he wasn't going to let that stop him. There was always a second course and another, almost identical yet slightly and crucially different, kind of fork.
One gloved hand vanished inside his waistcoat and when it reemerged it was clutching another bevy of pristine silver cutlery. There was probably a dessert pun in her somewhere but Vesper was of course far too refined to make it.
