He carried a box strapped on his back. He waited patiently for his turn to speak up to Key Lime but even though he tried to clear his throat, his words came out hoarse, “Erh, hey, miss. Do you happen to know how to pick an old lock? Or.. make a new key?” #rp
“If I can’t,” Key confidently states leaning over her workbench. “I honestly don’t know who can. Lets take peak at the piece, shall we?”
She gently levitates a cloth out over the work surface, while collecting some of her most common tools. Tiny flathead, pointy poker tool, oil can…
With a few twists of her tools, the box responds with some clicks. Then, something seems to catch. Tension builds, and Key sticks her tongue out as she gradually applies more pressure.
“Hold onnn…” and suddenly, all the tension spills over into a twisting motion. “Got it! Dang that’s satisfying.”

She turns the box back to face Coal. “Customer gets first peak privileges.”
“Oh!” His shoulders turn back and he looks down at the contents, “Well, I’ll be darned.”

The interior of the box was lined with a velvety scarlet material. In the centre was an elegant envelope with a red wax seal. The imprint— a diamond shape. Coal Train’s lips thinned, a nervous apple appearing in his throat as he reached in to gingerly pick it up.
“A fancy box for a fancy envelope. I don’t suppose you got a letter opening knife?”
He’s already pulling out his purse and placing the sack of bits on the table. Coal pauses to rub his chin scruff, “I suppose having a key for it would help in selling it later.

As for the ‘treasure hunt’…” he looked upwards towards the sky as if hoping some inner guidance would grace him, “might serve to be more trouble than it’s worth. The ores ARE valuable. Hmm.. Something to discuss with my brother.”
“Oh, well, if you don’t plan on keeping the box… I could take it off your hands.” Key suggests with a sly tone. “That way you won’t have to wait while I try to fit a key. Plus, I won’t have to charge you anything at all! Doesn’t that sound nice?”
“I—“ he had to contemplate the offer. The gears turning in his head could almost be audible, just from the way his brow knit tighter over the seconds.
“Yeah. Alright… I never cared much for my family’s trinkets anyway. Enjoy.”
