She laughed again, her eyes forward as they rounded a corner that would lead them into the Palace District. Her home was on the fringes of such finery, for her art and her generous aunt that insisted she house herself here for better security and rent one of the many homes of her husband's, the...

Faye gave a delicate snort. "Ten silvers that you will inevitably flinch from dragon fire. Fifteen that you will burn a finger... hmm... Five gold that you will lose your breath." She grinned at him, pleasantly pleased to make such bets at his expense. For the Glassblower was happy to show...

His words made her smile. "And that is the sort of person worth learning from." It had been her father that insisted he teach her, even though he found it difficult to form a structure to teach. It had been Faye that reassured him she will be able to learn if he spoke about why he did what he...

Faye had to chuckle, throwing him a look that looked as if she were halfway wishing to strangle him or to perpetually shake her head at him. Nonetheless, he elicited a smile from her. Hard not to, not when the idea of him getting drunk with artists was a form of rebellion to his family. She...

"You would have seen my father selling his works if you were in attendance two years ago. It was his last... before sickness got him and he passed that winter." Despite the time that had passed, and she felt a peace in his absence, Faye still held grief in her words. It was there in the...

With ease, she looped her arm through his and led him back indoors. With expert manoeuvring, she worked them through the crowds without being seen. Faye did not speak until they were out the front of the entryway. "Do not speak to anyone that lingers on the outskirts of a party, and you will...

Faye scoffed, staring at Talorgan as if he had such cheek to say that. She lifted a finger and wagged it slowly with chastisement. "Oh, we shall see if you can indeed make Valimir worthy pieces, my friend." She could hear the music swelling from the ballroom they had vacated. Her eyes lifted...

"Are you... interested?" The question posed was careful. Her expression was left unguarded, soft and hesitant before him. Their friendship was new, and already she was peering from behind her defenses. "If you are, I would love to show you how it all works... but if you are not, that is also...

Faye grinned at her friend. "Oh, you will know." She teased lightly. "Perhaps one day I can teach you a trick or two and see how well you take to the art. I should look for an apprentice, as I was my father's from a young age until I became confident enough to work with dragon fire." The grin...

She gave him a wry smile before reaching for where she put down her glass. Bringing the rim to her lips, she took a slow sip of it's contents as she contemplated. "Alright. That seems a fair trade. You are not afraid of things getting hot? I do work with dragon fire and would hope you are not...

"Oh, gods no." Faye laughed, giving him an incredulous look. "No, you are far better company than those types." A hard worker. Someone unafraid of getting dirty and doing the long yards. That dedication made her like him in the first place. Resonate with him. "I am not asking you to find...

Faye winced. She had thought they would secure shelter in a cave, but had to tell herself there was no use in beating herself up over it and to trust in Talorgan's expertise. He certainly looked the part. But Faye did not mind him. Two souls happy to take in the wilderness, she found his...

Faye smiled. She did not question him on his praise, nor did she poke fun at the change in his tone. She would take it as it was, an observation and respect as not all could come to face what she endured and still ventured out from the safety of the city. "It is a Tsonye dragon we are looking...

It seemed that her words left room for Talorgan to find a middle ground that did not entirely break the rules of leaving the party altogether and being away from the side of the room where all the dancing and merriment of high class denizens momentarily forgot the reason they were all in...

Faye grinned, amused and in agreement with his sentiments. "Yes, I am far too grateful to finally make a friend that runs in these circles, even if this is not your type of entertainment." Her smile softened to something of appreciation. "But you are well and right to suggest we stay far from...
