It has been a cold autumn - it will be a colder winter. You knock, and a slide on the door opens to reveal a jaundiced eye staring back at your torso. Slowly, the eye swings up to your face. 'I'll never get used to that," he grunts. "Mostly, this is prettier to look at, but it's got it's only little wrongnesses." "You comin' in?" he asks, eyes pulling away from the peep hole. Fine greeting for only the second meeting and the first on my own- She had been able to ignore the cold against her bared skin under the cloak, but she didn’t know if she could take his looks. Xath and Justice had commented enough about how he acted. But she wasn’t like them, and so had thought nothing of it… till now, “If you have a fire going. Otherwise we might as well speak out here.”  "There's no fire, but it's warmer in here. Come on in," you hear from behind the door, as it opens a crack. She nudges inside keeping the cloak tightly wrapped around her. "I'm sorry they didn't find a more suitably perfect body for me. I'm sure you have seen better and worse," a teasing smile tugs at her lips, "And I have found there are unseen benefits to this new form. But as enlightening as it may be I did not come to discuss the pro’s and con’s of my form, and I'm sure you have a better way to occupy your time." Her body still cold, she keeps the cloak tightly wrapped managing to pull out the strange stone Arhconus gave her. “I did come to ask you about this.”  "I gave it back to the Redmask for a reason. Didn't feel right keeping it. Felt like it was looking at me. Besides, I got that oath, now. Queen. Country. You know the drill." A small chuckle escapes, as she holds it up, “Knowing Link he very well could be! But where- how did you get it?” "It was easy. Was with the ashes. You just gotta be able to get your hands dirty. Figured it might be valuable. As it turns out, it was mostly just creepy. Same enchantment as Aregonn's Eye - this one was probably the prototype." “Everything has value, something’s are just valuable not with a price of gold...Well, I thank you.” Giving him a very light and very quick hug. Smiling, “You are a strange man, Cawys, but there seems to be lots of good in you as well. And though you didn’t ask for it,” she hands him a small pouch that seems to tink with metal. “Consider it payment for a… a holding fee.” He waves his hand dismissively at the apparent bag of gold. "No one to sell it to, anyway. It was worthless to me - you payed me exactly what it was worth, already." L’Aurel confused by his words and actions, "Archonus?" "What about him? He asked, I had it to give. He came in here loaded for bear...I thought I'd save myself a fight." "You said we had already given you payment for it. I thought you ment Arhconus had paid... he's not exactly easy to be friends with, but usually means well." "You misunderstood me. It was worthless. You paid me nothing. Fair trade." He always wants something for everything maybe he’s not so bad- Shrugging, and then turning to open the door "Well, thanks then. I'm sure we will be chatting again." "I have no doubt" he grunts, dismissing you. As you leave, he bends to pick up something, humming tunelessly to himself.</blockquote>
