Honestly, that's usually what it was for. Or he made a rather good reconnaissance tool because who's looking for a crab or expecting a crab to me spying on you? [Snippers, the multi-functional magical construct.
Machines... Those all sounds far more interesting than anything he would have guessed. Though he's pretty sure he's heard of a bow that does that already, but they sure aren't from the same worlds.]
The ones I've seen take a lot more technical know-how than I'd remotely have. Even the smithies at the school were... well, you'd think it simple but the things they could do both weaponry, armor, or tool wise was honestly just beyond fascinating. [Maybe...] I think we had something similar to that bow, I think it was some kind of crossbow, if I remember correctly, no one I knew used such weapons. And the bikes are interesting, we didn't really have anything like that, either. Why have those when horses and the like existed?
[He's flopping back onto the bed properly, though he's staring at the ceiling more than anything else.]
Pets still existed, but given how most people lived, it was more practical to have a creature that could do something else as well. Companions, familiars, that sort of thing. I'm sure Rainer's already told you about her menagerie of small woodland skeletons?
