Biffle nudged the workshop door open and peered in. SSundee's back was to him, bent over the desk while objects floated around him. Everything froze when Biffle opened the door. SSundee whirled around, eyes locking on Biffle.  Though his expression was completely blank and cold, a wave of panic and aggression washed over Biffle, causing him to flinch. It calmed after a few moments as SSundee processed the situation.

"Sorry," SSundee murmured, voice raspy. He paused for a moment, examining Biffle, "Shouldn't you be resting?"

Biffle pushed the door open more, "I made a cake."

SSundee's gaze shifted to the tray in Biffle's hands.

"A cake." SSundee echoed, "You made a cake?"

"Yeah," Biffle replied stiffly, "Want it or not?"

"Uh..." SSundee scrunched up his face, making the scar across his face curl, "Sure."

Biffle entered the room and cleared an area on the table for the cake. The floating objects started to move again, starting slowly, then picking up pace. Biffle began to slice the cake into squares.

"So." Biffle started, "What are you working on?"

"Armor."

"Neat. What kind?"

"Draconian."

"Is that better than infinity armor?" Biffle asked, tilting his head as he carefully lifted a slice of the cake onto a plate with a spatula.

"Hoping so," SSundee replied, "We're both due for some new armor anyway."

"...Both?"

A small smile twitched on SSundee's face, "We both know that explosion put your armor in tatters."

"But why are you making some for me?" Biffle echoed, confused.

"So you'll help me."

Biffle paused, then shrugged, "Okay fair. What's it that you need help with?"

"I need yours and Sigils' stones." SSundee replied simply, "I assume you know where it's being kept?"

"Yeah," Biffle replied, "But...I kind of need my stone."

SSundee chuckled, "Doubtful once you get this armor. The claws on these are meant to cut through even infinity armor."

Biffle gaped. SSundee's smile grew, "So, do we have a deal? Mind and Soul stones for the most powerful armor that we know of?"

"Uh, yeah. Heck yeah, let's do it," The excitement from SSundee trickled over to Biffle, "How do you feel about a trip to space?"
