The terrible gremlin side of Jupiter's brain that lived off of harassing others latched onto Artur's aggrieved reaction and he almost couldn't contain the rude grin the threatened to overthrow his composure. He had to remind himself that a) there was a profit to be gained here and b) a handsome devil to shmooze. Okay he couldn't just say nothing. At the very least he needed to know more. "Damn she's gotten under your skin, hasn't she? What was it, exactly that did that? Was it the grand self importance? The uh, the uh...ah man I dunno what to call it. The pretty, pretty perfect princessy thing she has going on?"
A meaningful glance from Amadeus made him backpedal. He waved a paw dismissively. "Okay, alright, you're right, my friend. Artur, we can swap war stories later. For now...ya know craft or whatever."
Amadeus took the offered claws and got to work. Every once in a while he instructed Artur to help him in some way as he might Jupiter. It was easy to go from one canine to another. In his opinion they all possessed a willingness to please in some capacity or another and all he seemed to need to do was give direction.
"Hold these together, please." Amadeus waited until his helper did as instructed and then he carefully worked the first row of tiger claw sandwiches into the leather layers. When they didn't go in smoothly he paused, picked up a knife and and carefully widen the offending too small hole. When at last the claws were in place he used cord from Jupiter's stash to weave a simple (but in his opinion sophisticated) braid around both the claws and all but the innermost piece of leather together (the one that would be against Artur's skin). The working ends of the cord were hidden in the folds. Once satisfied with that he moved onto the second one and repeated the process there. At every stage Artur would hold the pieces together for him while Amadeus worked until finally it too was done.
The tamarin then held the pair up to Artur for approval.

NOTE: this character is pretty on the outside but nothing but ugliness and innuendo on the inside. It's best to consider all threads with him rated 'M' regardless of the official tags.
