Have you got another one of those spells prepared?"Assuming that Nhalia answers in the affirmative, Kel leads the way back to the jeweller. On the way he tells her to follow his lead."We can't just ask him to let us check to see if the gem we sold him was magical - the price would go through the roof if he thought it was. But you'll have to come up with some reason for wanting to cast a spell over it."As he opens the door and steps into the shop he says, "But Nhalia, you were there. I'm telling you, there was no appreciable difference between the stones. Hello, good sir, we're back, as you can see. I wonder if I could have a moment of your time?"He leads the jeweller aside a step or two and says quietly (but not so quietly that Nhalia can't hear him), "My friend there is an artist, and an elf - and the combination means that she gets a bit obsessive at times. She's convinced that the stone I sold you earlier was a darker shade than the one we kept - and that it would be the perfect colour for a work in honour of her god which she's contemplating at the moment. She's been on at me about it virtually since we left your shop. I wonder, could we have a look at the stone, please? Otherwise, I'll have no peace at all this evening - nor for the next week, neither."</blockquote>
