Editing Daedalus (One to Redeem Them) (section)

== Skill/Talent Snippets ==
* '''Trade (Scrimshawer)'''
Daedalus scratches carefully at the piece of ivory.<br>
''Scritch. Scritch-scritch. Scritch. Scritchy-scritch.''<br>
Finally he leans back and brushes tiny pieces of material away from the tooth.<br>
Dunking it in water and scrutinizing it carefully, he nods in approval before setting it beside a dozen or more similar works and picking up another ork tooth.<br>
''Scritch, scritch scritch.''<br>
Thus time passes at Gabriel Chase in between long 'sleeps'.<br>
* '''Chem-Geld'''
Animals, Daedalus thinks, examining old vid-footage of a marriage - that of Euclides Haarlock, a junior member of the House from several centuries ago - usually deal with matters of mating far better than human beings.  He found the obsession with courtship behavior sometimes puzzling and often detrimental to proper functionality.  Ah, well.  He chalks it up to 'normal human' frailty and continues his admiration of the music played for the ceremony.
He makes a note to afterwards try once again to understand human drives surrounding sex and mating rituals.  It passes the time, and he never got bored of trying.
