Inside the guild

The woman introduced herself as Serendipity, guild master of the goldsmiths, and she invited the two of them in. After Neisa refused to explain why she had been half naked, face incandescent with rage and embarrassment, Serendipity dropped the subject.

M'lassi introduced them both. "Im M'lassi, this is M'neisa. Were here to see Alwin, and to have something appraised."

Serendipity's face lit up. "OH! Alwin has a customer! That's wonderful, he's been sulking for a few days to be honest. Gigi has opinions on his work and will not stop harassing him..." She looked back at the mammet wandering around the work area of the guildhall with a sad look.

"Alwin is in one of the the back rooms i think. Just avoid Gigi for now please, i think he has ideas about your friend." The guild master pointed towards a door at the back.

"Thank you, lets go and say hi Neisa." Lassi said and grabbed Neisa's hand and setting off towards the door. Half way there Gigi spotted them again and started running towards them, his tiny legs didnt cover the distance very fast, so Lassi started to jog and pulled Neisa with her faster. They reached the door and pushed inside, slamming it behind them. Gigi bounced off it, and they heard his tiny hands bashing on it from the other side.

" ☆☆✶ cOmE BaCk. sLuT! FaCe YOuR JuDGeMeNt! ✶☆✶" His scratchy voice carried through the door, and they heard Serendipity shouting and running over.

Neisa sighed heavily and turned to her cousin.

"You're enjoying this Lassi, aren't you." She stared suspiciously at her, and patted her clothes down.

Lassi smirked and walked on. She called out to the corridor. "Alwin! Come out, i have a customer for you!" She wandered down the hall, until she heard a crash from one of the doors. "Found him."

The furthest door crashed open and a dark skinned Hyur man poked his head out, looking around he spotted them.

"Lassi! What are you doing back, did the earrings not work? I can fix them!" Alwin shouted frantically.

"No! No Alwin, i think they are okay, buuuut my dear cousin here had an idea for them that you might like. Pluuus she has something that she wants you to look at." Lassi stepped up and wrapped one arm around him, then turned him to face Neisa who stood in the corridor like a rabbit facing down a coeurl.

Alwin lit up and beckoned them inside his workshop. At first glance it looked like a bomb had gone off in there, tools strewn at random over surfaces, a miniature forge caked in soot, and scraps of projects piled up everywhere. In the corner there stood a chair with a inbuilt footrest and sloped back with a very bright lantern poised over it.

"Please come in, please! Errr, chaaairs, chairs." Alwin rooted around and found two extra stools shoved behind something and set them up near his work station. "Okay, can you show me what I'm appraising?" he turned to the pair expectantly.

Neisa stepped over and sat on a stool, then presented both wrists to him.
