I felt my cheeks flush a little. “It’s what I had on hand. It’s not like I had a lead pipe or something just sitting in the basement.”

“No, no, I’m not criticizing or anything,” she assured me. “Just…wow.” She went back to inspecting the pendant. “Most precious metal on the planet, most Tinkers would have trouble synthesizing even small amounts of it, and you can make some from a few paperclips and a quarter or two.”

She laughed again.

“Your powers are such bullshit.”
