Commissions?

[finweson]

Sad but true: Since Eärendil had to promise his wife not to work for Fëanor anymore, the Valinorean market is closed to him once more

Jewelry you say? Well, the King of Narnia is actually currently looking for a ring to present to his fiancee. And in his mind only the best will do. He had been considering something dwarf-made, from Narnia, but if there is something here that is even more fine?

So he will inquire after these commissions. Naturally.

[finweson]

And Caspian looks sufficiently trustworthy, too, so Fëanor is in fact willing to do this.

"A ring, you say? What exactly do you have in mind, then?"

[new_old_narnian]

And he is, rest assured, and now he's a very happy trustworthy young King.

"I am not quite sure as I would like to be, actually. I've never been too wonderful with selecting jewelry." He speaks, carefully. "I also have found my finest swords have been crafted by allowing as much artistic license as I am able."

"...I know a bit of what I would like though. In Narnia there is a Lion. The Lion, really, and I hoped to include an image in his honor. And I thought perhaps gold as the metal..."

[finweson]

"Hm. Is it your betrothal ring, or simply a ring for your betrothed?"

[missgdarcy]

Much like Caspian, Georgiana is also in search of a suitable gift for her own fiance. She, however, doesn't quite know where to begin or what to request.

[finweson]

But, like Caspian, she looks like a reliable and good person, so Fëa will be friendly.
"Can I help you?"

[missgdarcy]

"Y-yes, sir," she says quietly. "I w-was wondering if perhaps y-you could make something for my fiance."

[finweson]

"I am sure I can. What do you have in mind?"

[mostgiftedwitch]

She notices the advert and tilts her head sideways as she contemplates the offer. One question comes to mind, and so, she'll search out Feanor. Once found, the following question will be asked:

"... Is there any chance you are able to create something like a small toy, fit for two rambunctious, very curious human toddlers? Possibly something with educational value?"

[finweson]

He laughs. "You might just be lucky..."

[mostgiftedwitch]

She raises her eyebrows, partially in curiosity, partially in delight.

"... Really? And what, if I may ask, are you terms?"

[finweson]

"I'm astonished that you still have to ask."

*has come, by now, to see Feanor as a steady man and worthy of respect for his craftsmanship--and even if he doesn't particularly want to see anything crafted--* If you would be fully willing, I would like to rent the honor of your humble hearth and smithy. Long I must endure the winter 'til I can my brother follow; in the time before this journey, I would shape some modest trinkets. *like those things he's promised he'd make--*

[finweson]

*see, the problem is, Ilmarinen is almost a friend by now, and Fëa has problems with charging friends...* Humble hearth?!?! Well, certainly! I should like to see some of your work, anyway; it's always quite inspiring to see a fellow craftsman at his work...

[smithofwainola]

Modesty is traditional! A bevy of golden maidens is "modest"! For the gift of work and lodging, I can summon ores assorted for us both to shape and fashion. Would this price pass your fair judgment?

[finweson]

Well not for me! *smart Ilmarinen - that's something Fëa can accept!* *smiles* I believe it would.

[high_king_peter]

Since most of Peter's friends have come here, why not him as well? Anyway, this is just what he's been looking for, a gift for Georgiana. He's actually got a necklace of some sort in mind, and will inquire after it.

"Sir?"

[finweson]

Typist: *snickers* If it goes on like this, Fëa can add 'Narnian court smith' to his titles, eh?

He nods in greeting. "Aye?"

[high_king_peter]

Typist: We should wait and see if the rest of the Pevensies show up. XD

"I was wondering if you could craft a necklace for my betrothed, as a Christmas gift." He's already given her a ring, after all, but Georgiana always needs more pretty things.

[finweson]

"I certainly could. What kind of necklace?"
