[toggler name="(Quest) I found this mechanical creature during a recent time rift." size=6 closed=true]
Interesting, I am surprised it did not return to its timeline when you closed the rift.<Soridormi kneels down to inspect the creature.>
[toggler name="Can it stay with you?" size=6 closed=true]
Absolutely not.I have neither the time nor the patience for something like this.
[toggler name="Don’t make me break out the Puppy Dog eyes." size=6 closed=true]
You… you would not dare.
[toggler name="<Hit Soridormi with the Puppy Dog eyes.>" size=6 closed=true]
<Soridormi visibly wilts.>You absolute monster.
<She hangs her head in defeat.>
Fine. It can stay with me for now.[/toggler][/toggler]
[toggler name="<Get on your knees and beg Soridormi to take Boffins, loudly.>" size=6 closed=true]
Stop that!Stop it at once!
<Soridormi tries to help you up while looking frantically to see if anyone is watching. You notice her blushing.>
Fine! Fine! I will watch it! Just, please, get up![/toggler]
[toggler name="I didn’t think you would be able to take care of it anyway." size=6 closed=true]
<Soridormi stares at you with stony eyes.>Was that supposed to be reverse psychology?
I have seen whelps with better attempts than that.
<Soridormi looks around.>
Unfortunately, there does not appear to be anyone else who can take it for now.
I assure you, this is merely a temporary solution.[/toggler][/toggler]
[toggler name="I plan to keep it." size=6 closed=true]
I appreciate the sentiment, but it should be monitored for time fluctuations.I will ask another bronze dragon for assistance.
<Soridormi looks around. There is a distinct lack of other bronze dragons in her vicinity.>
[toggler name="It doesn’t seem like anyone else can look after it." size=6 closed=true]
<Soridormi looks around for assistance. Everyone else is looking in another direction in a very unsubtle manner.>So it comes to this, abandoned by those I trusted the most in my hour of need.
Fine. I can watch it.
But we need to find another solution later!
<Soridormi mutters under her breath.>
Later… it is always later…[/toggler]
[toggler name="Could you look after it?" size=6 closed=true]
Absolutely not.I have neither the time nor the patience for something like this.
[toggler name="Don’t make me break out the Puppy Dog eyes." size=6 closed=true]
You… you would not dare.

Buzzing Boffins

During the A.z.e.r.o.t.h Invasion, he can spawn at roughly 64.41 for whenever somebody gets a Pylon or Lightning Conductor Task.
Just chill there and with a little bit of luck, he will spawn next to you.
If you turned this into Soridormi after getting the quest, which involves doing things during Phase 1 of the time rift and then he just runs up to you, and you are confused as to why you told Soridormi 3 times in dialogue you'd keep it as a pet and then she just keeps it anyway, It's because Boffins is the reward for the achievement as a whole and Boffins is a toy not a pet.
