#so I can't imagine Gen being unwilling to return the favor and steal some watches

[alsogiraffes]

You know, Stenides is the son of the Minster of War, grandson and nephew and cousin to three generations of Eddisian rulers, but he’s also a watchmaker and so I wonder if he ever had anyone try to stiff him on payment, like “oh yeah the watch is great, I’ll get you the rest of the money next month, for sure” or worse, trying to be finicky and pretend like the work is not satisfactory. 

I’m pretty sure that if anyone ever dared to try it, it wouldn’t happen more than once or at worst twice. Eugenides would definitely steal his brother’s work back. And if it’s on the altar of the god -- well then, even if you DO pay, you’re not getting your frickin’ watch back. Better go order another and pay this time.
