L97. Anthorra's Beautiful Gift I

"Zindel..." You turn to Anthorra, who scrambles to shake off the

faraway look she's wearing.

"W-what's that look for? Don't go making assumptions now! I only pity the guy for being misunderstood, that's all..."

"He's been looking so down lately."

"I don't know about you, but gifts always manage to cheer me up... Ah! I've got it!"

"Go and bring me some crystals, would you? There should be some out on the plateau."

You're touched by Anthorra's thoughtfulness.

"This one's gorgeous! You've got a pretty good eye!"

"But it's still just a crystal. Adding a little magic will make it truly special..."

"Let's see, what should I go with? Some sort of animal? Or a flower perhaps? What would make Zindel smile...?"

Anthorra stops as if suddenly remembering that you're still there. "N-not like care or anything!

I just want it to look good since my name is on it, that's all!"

"Please help me get it back! Thanks!"

"Now leave me be. I need to find my inspiration! Go on, scoot!" She stares at the crystal, already lost in thought.

You quietly make an exit.
