Just awkwardly standing around somewhere within visual range, head tilted slightly away so it doesn’t look like he’s watching her work. It was the foolproofest plan.

We know what a startled Baxxid sounds like (so,so loud) so I do hope zhat de Redsmith takes zhat into account, or de poor Kalgkur is never going to work off his debt!
Ya know what? If a Humani jewlsmizh got ahold of a Baxxid, zhey could engrave a Baxxid’s skullplate de way Humani do zhe tatoo zhing. It could be very, very beautiful as a piece of art, or even inlay bits of metal for color. Not saying zhat I want de boss to have to draw somezhing as complicated as Maori tatoos every frame (zhough zhe artwork zhis week is very nice, grats to the team!) but it’d be somezhing zhat would be apprieciated by Humani and Baxxid alike I zhink.
Oh, right. I just realised it’s a ball of copper wire, not a glowing hand-sized sphere!
Also, she shouldn’t poke the beast.
She’s poking the imaginary illustrative Baxxid head. Although I’m pretty sure he’d be into being poked in the right circumstances.
I was talking figuratively instead of literally, but okay….
She knoooowssss.
