Haha, awesome! Apophis has a bad habit of getting way too friendly with everybody he meets, so this sounds like a glorious mess in the making! I'll apologize for any bro-hugs or nicknames Ruby might end up with in advance!

He'd also be interested in her weapon crafting forays and maybe they could talk tech upgrades/repairs too? He's only got a chariot with easily breakable golem horses and a ship on wheels with a big hole as riding options right now. (Will he ask Imhotep if he wants the ship repaired? Don't sweat the details, let's redecorate the Sunbark into a pirate ship already, he'll definitely love it! ♥)
