Welcome to Gaia! ::

Luk smiled widely. "Excellent," he murmured. This time he was the one who held the door for the others, and there was a look of great pleasure on his face. It was clear that he was eager to look at what the shop would have to offer.

As Miyuki examined the earrings, Earendil took Lin aside to speak with her.

"Miyuki asked earlier if she could have some jewelry," he told her quietly. "I told her I would talk to you about it ... but since we were discussing it in the context of your necklace, I was wondering ... rather than just getting her something, perhaps it could be a reward of some sort? The way you got your necklace from Sir Valdemar for climbing the mountain on your own."

He tilted his head slightly. "What do you think?"

Earendil pursed his lips thoughtfully. "Something with her lessons? Or something ... more?" he asked her. "Maybe an accomplishment with her training? Maybe when she graduates from a wooden sword to a real one or something?"

That would be an accomplishment worth celebrating - at least, it was to the elves.

Earendil nodded. "The equivalent of you climbing the mountain," he smiled. "All right. That way we have an answer for when she asks if she's allowed to get something."

He chuckled softly. She would ask, he was certain.

Luk meanwhile was looking with Miyuki at the earrings and such. "See anything you like?" he asked her with a smile.

Luk knelt down to examine the earring Miyuki was looking at. He let out a low whistle. "Wow ... that is very pretty indeed. And the quality is very good. You could wear that at court and look just like any of the royals."

He grinned at her. "Though that of course isn't why you like it. You like it just because it's pretty, right? And it will make you prettier than you already are."

"Ah, even in the winter," Luk mused. "Yes ... yes, I hadn't thought of that. That would be nice."

Not quite for him, though.

"I don't think I'll be getting anything here, either," he murmured, looking around briefly once more. "At least not today. Perhaps another time."

When he was more certain of what he could afford. He had brought some money from home, but he didn't know how much it would be worth out here.

Earendil smiled when Miyuki came over to them, and held one hand out to her invitingly.

"Well?" he asked her. "Are you finished looking?"

"Oh?" Earendil's smile grew warmer. "Would you like to show it to me?"

If they were going to get something for her, it would be best that it be something she actually wanted. Else it wouldn't be nearly as much of a reward.
