-- Perfect. What do you want? Apparently I'm supposed to buy you something, but honestly? I've always been a little lacking in the gifts department. People say they don't mind and that anything is fine and then suddenly a spectrum analyzer is not on the list of things that are fine. So. What do you want?
Well, what I really want is a vacation somewhere with a nice view and a spa, but our budgets don't really allow for that, so I'll take this belt. [ whips out a catalogue from his sleeve with the thing circled and arrows pointing to it ]
A dress might be nice. Or a nice necklace, something about right for a girl that age. Excuse me a second...
[The Fool turns and rummages through a bag slung from his belt, coming out with a handful of carved wooden beads. Each one is unique, detailed and utterly beautiful; there's a rabbit curled around itself, a delicate shell, a cat with its tail coiled around it, a rose, and a lot else besides]
Five silver shards apiece. Normally I'd charge a lot more, but we won't be here long and I've got all the money I need. Choose the ones you think the little girl might like.
