Jewel: *She walks into the manor with a decent sized box under her arm, and looks around with a determined gleam in her eye* I wonder where he is...Not usually too hard to spot...
Euram: ::in the main foyer scribbling away in a small journal, oblivious to the word that isn’t in his designs::
Jewel: *Spots him, and waltzes up to him rather proudly* Hey Euram! Whatcha' doing?
Euram: AH! ::jumps as he is prone to doing when interrupted:: ahhh…I? I compiling a list of ideas to turn this dreary expanse into one of great vivacity!
Jewel: That sounds like fun. *Playfully tries to peek at the notebook* What kind of ideas do you have so far?
Euram: ::holds it away from her on instinct:: Now now, to show would ruin the most excellent surprise!
Jewel: Awww. If you say so. *Goes silent for a moment, rolling back on her heels and then forward on her toes* Speaking of surprises... *Holds the box out to him*
Euram: ::looks at the box curiously:: … What is this?
Jewel: A gift silly! Since you got me something it's only right I reciprocate! *All but shoves the box into his arms*
Euram: ::shuffles to grab onto the box:: Really?! Y..you bought me a gift? ::has only received one and it was from LUCA::
Euram: ::sets down his journal and opens the box taking out the
vase inside:: Oh my…
Jewel: Well I didn't exactly buy it...It's an interesting story actually. Do you like it? *Hopeful*
Euram: It’s…Why it’s magnificent! The interplay of colors upon the surface…the illusion of texture as it caresses the frame…Why one might think it was shipped from Haud!
Jewel: Well it could have been for all I know. I actually sort of found it. I really can't fathom why that wild boar was in possession of it. All I had to do was get it appraised...Which wasn't very cheap... but it reminded me of you, you know? Guess I'm just lucky!
Euram: ::misses most of the story because he’s just so taken by the gift and the fact that he got one:: Truly luck could have nothing to do with it! Nay, Fate is the more likely hand involved to have allowed such a fine piece of art into my possession. ::vase shakes precariously with how wild his arms are moving::
Jewel: I'm so glad you like it! Really! *beaming*
Euram: Ah milady it is a treasure, which only a keen eye could have selected from the patchiness of the world around it. ::takes Jewel’s hand and kisses the back of it like daddy taught him he's supposed to::
Jewel: *Gasps slightly, and blushes* ....
Euram: ::let’s go and stands straight again, admiring the vase:: Yes, this shall bring great warmth to the design. Oh, but it is also a shame that no one else will be able to see it. Oh! Perhaps it can be incorporated into the designs for the whole castle…yes! I had planned to use some of my own collection anyway…::picks up the journal and starts scribbling away::
Jewel: *Rubs the back of her hand idly, cheeks still slightly pink* That would be..neat.
Euram: You agree then? ::very happy at the acceptance:: I had not considered it before, but if you were able to find such a fine piece…Do you wish to join the undertaking of transforming this castle into something presentable?
Jewel: I..I guess so. But what could I do?
Euram: hmm…If you are not drawn to the cause like myself or Josephine perhaps it will be more difficult. Fear not! We shall school you!
Jewel: Okay. I guess it does sound like fun!
Euram: Excellent! Our team grows each day. I’m certain Master Thomas will be thrilled!
Jewel: I love to please! *smiles sweetly* Anyway...I had better go and leave you to your planning. It seems terribly important.
Euram: Huh..Oh! Yes…quite, quite! Well then…until next time!
Jewel: See ya! *scurries off*
