Belladonna decides she's going to use her Flamethrower to melt a patch of ice other than the one Randolph indicated.  Just because.

When Brigid starts to melt the larger patch of ice, though, Randolph sees a large item is lodged in the frozen over rocks!  However, the item in question is currently rather dirty, making it hard to tell exactly what it is.  Oh, and it's also stuck.  Reeeaaaalllly stuck.  Removing it doesn't look easy.

At his pungent skunk's Willfully shirking his request, instead of blowing up on her like he would with Zorn the bristly blacksmith instead just shakes his head and *Sighs*.

"....Ya know Belladona, you're really not helping yourself by farting about like that at all, but whatever. Be unproductive as ya wish....."

He's sorta used to and resigned to that sort of behavior from her, if you couldn't tell. Anger, vitriol, and a stern talking to never really amounted to much when dealing with her at the worst of times, and even after gain her hard earned Loyalty she STILL rejected/shunned his commands half the time unless he seriously bribes her to do so anyway. What's the point of getting worked up over, if it wouldn't accomplished a damn thing?

If it wasn't for how useful and helpful Belladona was when she actually listened and contributed as he desired, he'd probably sold her off ages ago, the rarity and value of her species be bricked and shipped!

As for the stuck Mystery Item, after he struggles in vain to get it out himself (Image: Short man pulling at it, until he falls flat on his arse), he lets out a small swear before looking over to Belladona and pointing at it.

"Hey, think ya can help soften this rock up with your Acid Spray, specifically 'round here *Gestures to wear the Item is stuck in* ?"

Should she prove intractable to the request, he tries to motivate her further by offering one of his Dark Gems in exchange to appeal to her Boss and 'Must Have It ALL!' mentality. Besides, what girl doesn't love a little bling?

Presuming that the Rock is soften up, he'd then briefly recall Brigid and summon Diam in her place, and request that his wee imp use Restrained Flash Cannons to help break it down so that the Item can be retrieved easily from either the rubble or once the Rock itself was weak enough that it no longer had the cohesive force to strongly grip the Mystery Item.

If Belladona just doesn't want to plainly cooperate, though, she gets balled promptly for a brief 'Time Out' (With Ran muttering to himself, "If ya are going to be just plain unhelpful, you ain't helping yourself much that way either, Belladona...."), and Stymph gets called out to just bash the Rock with Steel Wings until it cracks wide open enough for Ran to get at the Mystery Item. 

Either plan that is used, he's also keeping an eye out for danger, staying close to his partners and ready to holler at them to drop what they're doing to take care of would be pests/menaces. That should be it, for now!
